Start with your purpose
A useful search begins with what the property needs to do for you.
- Define location, space, access and timing.
- Discuss your budget and financing preparation.
- Separate essential requirements from preferences.
Sell · Commercial Real Estate
A thoughtful sale starts with your objectives. We help commercial property owners prepare, position and market their properties across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
Build the strategy around the property and your plans.
Give buyers a clear, useful picture of the opportunity.
Keep inquiries and negotiations moving with clear communication.
A useful perspective
Timing, conditions and the proposed path to completion can matter alongside the offer amount. We help you compare the whole proposal against what you want to achieve.
Gather what is available. Missing information can become a follow-up question rather than a reason to delay the first conversation.
Use this as a conversation starter. Your selections are not sent to us or saved when you leave the page.
| Part of the offer | What to discuss |
|---|---|
| Price | How does it compare with the property evidence and your objectives? |
| Conditions | What remains to be reviewed, and when are answers needed? |
| Deposit | What is proposed, when is it due, and what do the documents say? |
| Completion and possession | Does the proposed schedule fit your plans and the property’s occupancy? |
| Seller obligations | What documents, work or other commitments are being requested? |
Keep a list of keys, access devices, building records, service contacts and any agreed items to hand over. Coordinate the details with your advisers and the people managing the property.
Frequently asked questions
Relevant comparable properties, location, condition, tenancy and competing listings all matter. Income and development considerations may also be relevant. The asking price should have a clear basis in the property’s characteristics and market evidence.
Gather available plans, property tax statements, operating expenses, leases and records of repairs or improvements. Having these organized can make it easier to answer buyer questions and support due diligence.
Yes. The existing leases, tenant communication and viewing arrangements need to be considered. Buyers will also want to understand the rental income and the obligations associated with the tenancies.
Not every improvement will justify its cost. Consider the property’s condition, the likely buyer and whether work would improve marketability. Major upgrades deserve a closer review before spending.
Price is one part of an offer. Financing and due diligence conditions, the deposit, completion date and any requested seller obligations also matter. Consider how the terms fit your plans and how much uncertainty remains before the sale can complete.
Buyers consider the rent, remaining lease term, renewal options, tenant payment history and obligations attached to the tenancy. An investor may focus on the reliability of the income, while an owner-user may need to understand when the space could be available for their business. The lease terms can influence the buyer pool, pricing and sale conditions.
Investment & Development · Metro Vancouver & Fraser Valley
Development-site sourcing and introductions to potential project partners across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. A practical starting point for developers planning a project and investors exploring participation alongside a project team.
Find a site that fits the project you have in mind.
Start a conversation about participating in a development project.
From concept to due diligence
Permitted uses, servicing, approvals, costs and market demand all shape what may be feasible. A promising site or introduction is the beginning of the review, not confirmation that a project will proceed.
Start with the project and the role you want to play. Detailed documents can follow through an appropriate channel.
Use this as a conversation starter. Your selections are not sent to us or saved when you leave the page.
What is known about current use, access, servicing and planning status? Which assumptions still need confirmation?
Who is involved, what role would each person take, and what information is available for an independent review?
A useful introduction starts with alignment. It does not replace your own review of the project, participants or documents.
If your goal is direct ownership rather than joining a project, start with the commercial buying pathway.
Explore direct property purchases →Frequently asked questions
The search starts with the intended project, preferred locations, site requirements and acquisition budget. Available sites and potential land assemblies can then be assessed against those needs, with planning, servicing and technical questions referred to the appropriate advisers.
Introductions may be possible where the project, interests and experience appear aligned. An introduction is a starting point for discussion, not an endorsement or a commitment by either party. Each participant needs to assess the people, project and proposed terms independently.
A direct purchase gives you an ownership interest in the property itself. Project participation may involve a partnership, joint venture or another structure, with responsibilities, decision-making and financial outcomes shared according to the agreement. The structure and documents determine what you own and how you participate.
Get in touch to discuss the types of projects that interest you and how you would like to be involved. From there, we can explore whether an introduction to a relevant project team or professional adviser may be useful. Our role is to help start the conversation; any opportunity and its terms need your own independent review.
Review the project team’s experience, site control, planning status, feasibility, budget, financing assumptions and key risks. Understand decision-making rights, potential additional funding needs, reporting and exit provisions. Independent legal, financial and tax advice helps clarify the proposed arrangement before making a commitment.
Developers can share the project concept, site requirements, preferred areas and acquisition criteria. Potential project partners can outline their experience, intended involvement, preferred project types and objectives. This helps establish whether there is a relevant site search or introduction to explore.

Property Valuation · Commercial Real Estate
Thinking about selling, leasing or planning your next move? Start with a conversation about your commercial property, its current use and your goals.
The details provide the starting point.
Context helps explain the opportunity.
Turn the discussion into a practical plan.
A useful perspective
An address is a good start. Floor plans, available leases, income and expense records, and details of recent improvements can help us understand the property more fully. Start with the basic property details. We can discuss which documents would be useful and how to share them privately.
Use the form below for an initial enquiry. Please keep confidential leases, tenant records and financial documents out of the message.
Go to the property enquiry form →Good questions. Clear next steps.
Not necessarily. BC Assessment generally estimates market value as of July 1 of the previous year for property assessment purposes. It is a useful reference, but it does not guarantee today’s selling price.
Market conditions and the property itself may have changed since that valuation date. For commercial property, current leases, rental income, vacancy, condition and comparable sales can all affect what buyers are willing to pay.
A property may sell above or below its assessed value. A current market evaluation considers the available evidence rather than simply adding or subtracting a percentage from the assessment.
Direct comparison approach: Looks at sales of similar properties, accounting for differences such as location, size, condition and tenancy.
Income approach: Looks at the income the property can generate after operating expenses. Rental income, vacancy, lease terms and market rates help inform its value.
Cost approach: Estimates the land value plus the cost of replacing the buildings and improvements, less depreciation for wear, outdated features and other factors.
The most relevant approach depends on the property and the available evidence. More than one approach may be used to reach a supported opinion of value.
Provide the property address, current use, approximate size and whether you are considering selling or leasing. Add your timeline and any other details you would like us to consider.
This is an initial market-position discussion with our real estate team. If you need a formal appraisal for a lender, tax matter or another specific purpose, tell us so that the appropriate professional can be involved.
Yes. Let us know its occupancy and the documents available. Tenancy details can be relevant to a sale or leasing strategy. Avoid sending confidential tenant information through the initial enquiry form.
No. An income-producing building, an owner-occupied space and a development site can require different analysis. The property’s use, tenancy, condition and available market evidence influence which approaches are most useful. Any development potential needs to be considered alongside permitted uses, approvals, costs and feasibility—not simply assumed.
Commercial Leasing
Looking for a place to grow your business, or a tenant for your property? We help tenants and landlords navigate commercial leasing across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
For Tenants
Start with your location, size, budget and timing. We help narrow the search and compare spaces against how your business operates.
For Landlords
A leasing strategy starts with the space and the tenants it can serve. We help present your property's strengths and manage the path from inquiry to agreement.
From vacancy to occupancy
Legal documentation and specialist checks should be reviewed with the appropriate advisers.
Discuss a vacant or upcoming space →Did you know?
Two spaces with the same base rent can have different total costs. Ask what is included, which expenses are additional, and how costs may change during the term. Fit-out, moving and utilities also belong in your budget.
Frequently asked questions
The advertised rate may be only the base rent. Depending on the lease, additional costs can include operating expenses, property taxes, insurance, utilities, parking and applicable taxes. Renovations and moving costs should also be part of the budget.
It depends on what is negotiated. Some landlords offer an allowance or complete certain work; other spaces are leased as-is. The lease should clearly set out who pays, who approves the work and when it must be completed.
Look beyond the square footage. Check permitted uses, building restrictions, loading, power, ventilation, parking and access. Even if a similar business operated there before, confirm the requirements for your proposed use.
Start early, and check your lease’s renewal options and notice deadlines first. Those dates may fall well before the lease expires. Even if you expect to stay, leave time to review your needs, compare alternatives and negotiate terms.
If relocating is a possibility, work backward from when the new space needs to be operational. Allow time to search and tour properties, negotiate the lease, obtain approvals and permits, design and complete improvements, and move equipment or staff. The time needed depends on the availability of suitable space, negotiations, approvals and the work required. Build in a buffer for delays and any overlap between premises.
Have the floor area, available plans, asking rent, estimated additional costs and possession date ready. Clear information about the space’s condition and features makes it easier for prospective tenants to assess it.
Basic or base rent: The charge for occupying the space, before separately payable costs. Commercial rates are often quoted per square foot per year; confirm the area and payment basis.
Additional rent: Other amounts payable under the lease, which may include property taxes, building insurance, maintenance and operating expenses. Estimates may be adjusted or reconciled against actual costs.
Gross rent: A combined rent amount that includes base rent and specified property expenses. Check the inclusions: utilities, parking, taxes or other charges may still be separate, especially under a modified gross lease.
Triple net (NNN): A structure where the tenant generally pays base rent plus a share of property taxes, building insurance and maintenance or operating costs. The lease defines the actual responsibilities.
Compare what each quote includes—not just the label or headline rate.
