Semi-Annual Waterloo Region Office Market Report
October 31, 2011
Colliers’ Semi-Annual Waterloo Region Office Market Report is out and has received an unprecedented amount of attention. I even saw a real estate broker from another company offer to send out a copy of our report; humorous. The world is interested in what is happening in Waterloo.
We take great pride in our market information and no question it provides value to our clients but the biggest advantage it provides is how it allows us to forecast trends. A good example is the vacancy projections we made for the fourth quarter. As of today, it looks to be coming to fruition.

Sorry, I wasn’t trying to be humorous, I just like to offer good research to people, regardless of the source – and always with full attribution. If you’d like, I will remove the offer to email the report. Let me know John, thanks.

Ben,
You do not owe me an apology. I am pleased you read our research publication and consider it “good research”. I think I found it humorous because you offered to send out the publication rather than just link people to the same public site which you downloaded the publication from yourself. In hindsight, I am sure this was nothing more than you providing good service to your clients and readership.
We had an unprecedented amount of feedback with regard to this report and a number of our colleagues were less diplomatic than you regarding our findings. We also had a number of media inquiries which you were part of and it sparked a big exchange of information between Colliers and our clients. This sort of exchange is important and I will happily discuss our findings with anybody interest in listening. For me and Colliers as a whole, it is all about providing the highest quality research and uncommon knowledge, not anecdotal evidence.
Thanks again for your comments and your ongoing support.
