Keynote speaker Darryl 'DMC' McDaniels of Run-D.M.C. underscored the importance of cultural influence in shaping consumer behavior.

Canada (with emphasis on Western Canada and secondary markets)

Why it matters

ICSC@Whistler is the premier Western Canadian deal-making and networking event for the retail real estate industry, serving as a critical barometer for the sector's health and direction. The conference provides an unparalleled forum for owners, developers, retailers, investors, and brokers to close transactions, share intelligence, and align on strategy amid a rapidly evolving landscape. With Canadian retail vacancy at historic lows, development costs at new highs, and consumer behaviour shifting toward experiential and community-centric spaces, the insights and connections forged at Whistler are essential for navigating the market's complexities. The event's intimate, high-altitude setting fosters concentrated deal flow and relationship-building that larger shows cannot replicate, making it a must-attend for anyone serious about retail real estate in Canada. As CBRE noted, 'retail performance continues to be highly situational', and ICSC@Whistler provides the direct intelligence needed to make informed decisions in this selective market

Industry trends

Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

Experiential Retail and Mixed-Use Expansion

Shopping centers are evolving from pure retail destinations into mixed-use hubs incorporating entertainment, dining, health, and community spaces. JLL has identified roughly 16.5 million square feet of location-based entertainment concepts planned across the U.S. and Canada as consumers seek closer-to-home leisure options. This trend was a central theme at ICSC Whistler, where discussions centered on reimagining retail spaces as hubs for social interaction

Source

Rising Development Costs Reshaping Feasibility

Higher land prices, construction costs, labour expenses, and increased yield expectations have fundamentally changed the economics of new retail space. CCIM 2026 Global President Adam Palmer noted that the industry has largely accepted that costs have reset to a new baseline, forcing developers and tenants to rethink assumptions about rent, margins, and store expansion

Source

Tight Supply and Landlord-Favourable Market

Limited new retail construction over the past two decades, combined with strong population growth, has created a structural shortage of retail space in many Canadian markets. Salthill Capital Principal Petr Kafka described it as 'a true landlord's market'. Retail space per capita has fallen 9%, while limited new store openings over the past decade have tightened leasing conditions

Source

Data-Driven Decision Making and Selective Growth

Retailers and developers are increasingly using sophisticated data analytics and AI-powered personalization to guide site selection, tenant mix, and customer engagement. Retailers are entering 2026 with a disciplined, 'quality over quantity' expansion strategy, using data to prioritize high-quality locations and analytics-backed site selection

Source

Expansion into Secondary Markets

Population migration driven by housing affordability is reshaping retail demand. Consumers are moving from traditional urban cores to secondary markets such as Oshawa, Hamilton, Barrie, and Kitchener-Waterloo, prompting retailers to expand aggressively into smaller cities

Source

Repositioning of Legacy Department Store Space

The closure of Hudson's Bay stores, vacating roughly 15 million square feet of space across Canada, has created a major repositioning challenge. Landlords are repurposing former anchors with entertainment uses, smaller units, or demolitions, while enclosed mall vacancy rates surged sharply following the closures
