Montreal Retail Market Outlook
Montreal's retail sector remains a top target for investors, with grocery-anchored centres recording the highest positive momentum for seven consecutive quarters. Retail investment reached $879 million through Q3 2025 strong by historical standards, while neighbourhood retail vacancy stays below 4% in food-anchored centres across Quebec. Sainte-Catherine Street West is seeing surging demand from international retailers, and suburban plazas continue to report limited availability and rising rents.
