Oxford Economics recently recognized Edmonton as a 'City to Watch' in its 2026 Global Cities Index—a nod to the momentum building in our backyard. With Calgary ranked 69th and Edmonton at 125th globally, it's clear Alberta’s major cities are earning attention on the world stage. Edmonton stands out as a North American 'City to Watch,' driven by a robust 3% population growth, a resilient economy, and strong governance. Of course, this recognition comes with challenges—rising housing costs and environmental pressures are on our radar. As someone who spends every day immersed in Alberta’s real estate landscape, I see firsthand how these economic forces shape both residential and commercial opportunities in Edmonton. Strategic decisions, backed by legal and market insight, are more important than ever for those looking to navigate this evolving market.
