Market Overview
Beaumont is an incorporated city immediately south of Edmonton, growing rapidly as a premium bedroom community within commuting distance of Edmonton's employment base. Commercial development concentrates along 50th Street and main arterials, serving the daily retail and service needs of a high-income, young-family residential population. Retail NNN rates range from $24 to $38 per sq ft annually.
