In this exclusive episode of The Commercial Real Estate Library, Dayma and Garret sit down with Andrew Duncan, Chief Investment Officer at RioCan. Since joining the company in 2013, Andrew has been instrumental in leading investment transactions and overseeing the development pipeline, shaping RioCan’s strategy and positioning it as one of Canada’s largest and most successful REITs in the country. Duncan shares his journey from an early career in engineering, where he spent seven years helping develop Walmarts across the country, to leading the rollout of Lowe’s first 31 stores in Canada, and how he ultimately rose to become RioCan’s inaugural CIO.

Duncan reflects on the evolution of retail real estate, where the sector stood before COVID, how it adapted through the pandemic and the rise of e-commerce, and how it has emerged today as one of the best-performing asset classes in commercial real estate. He shares how RioCan has sustained industry-leading occupancy, the bold bets the company made that reaffirmed the strength of retail, their strategy guiding its next phase of growth, and the efficiency and resilience of RioCan’s team.

In this conversation, Duncan dives into the tenants driving today’s strongest retail performance, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the development of The Well, unpacks RioCan’s pivotal moves at Clarkson Crossing and Clarkson Village, and so much more.This episode delivers unparalleled insights into RioCan and the resilience of retail real estate, only on The Commercial Real Estate Library.
