Avison Young helps The Home Depot open 183rd location in Canada in Fort McMurray, Alberta

Fort McMurray, Alberta – Global commercial real estate advisor, Avison Young, announces the successful purchase of 8.4 acres in Fort McMurray’s Quarry Ridge – earmarked as the new site of The Home Depot’s 183rd store in Canada.
Located at the southwest corner of Highway 63 and MacKenzie Boulevard, the 80,000 square foot building is anticipated to open in Q2/Q3 2026 and will employ approximately 150 associates.
Avison Young’s Darren Snider and Ben Snider were the exclusive advisors and agents for The Home Depot of Canada Inc., which purchased from Camgill Developments in May of 2025 for an undisclosed amount.
Securing this site is historic in nature, given Avison Young’s existing business relationship as The Home Depot’s preferred broker for retail locations in Alberta. Ben was brought onto the Avison Young team to investigate the Fort McMurray market for The Home Depot, culminating in a request for Ben and Darren to provide real estate options. This included several sites, and The Home Depot landed on Quarry Ridge.
“Avison Young could not be more thrilled about The Home Depot selecting Quarry Ridge – and, even more so, for the people of Fort McMurray,” said Ben Snider, Senior Associate, Avison Young. “This is a very resilient community, committed to rebuilding and growth, and what better place to help and support you in your rebuilding and growth efforts than The Home Depot. I’ve heard so many stories from residents about how the closest Home Depot store is a four-hour drive away so having one so close to home will provide a level of unmatched service and convenience.”
