Our Commercial Real Estate Services in Calgary
Jordy Huntrods and Mike Anisimovicz bring 40+ years of combined experience to every transaction—and we never represent both sides of a deal.
Whether you’re leasing office space, acquiring industrial property, or selling a commercial building, you get advisors who work exclusively in your interest.
- Tenant Representation & Lease Negotiation
- Commercial Property Sales & Acquisitions
- Lease Renewal & Restructuring
- Investment & Portfolio Advisory
CRE - Tenant Representation & Lease Negotiation
Most commercial landlords have professional representation. You should too.
We advocate exclusively for tenants seeking office, retail, or industrial space in Calgary. Our team analyzes comparable market rates, negotiates rent abatements and tenant improvement allowances, identifies hidden costs in lease agreements, and ensures terms protect your business—not just the landlord’s.
What we negotiate:
- Base rent and escalation clauses
- Free rent periods and move-in incentives
- Tenant improvement allowances
- Operating expense caps and audit rights
- Renewal and expansion options
- Early termination rights
You don’t pay us directly—tenant representation fees typically come from the landlord’s side.
CRE - Commercial Property Sales & Acquisitions
Buying or selling commercial property in Calgary requires market knowledge, qualified buyer access, and strategic positioning.
We provide full-service support for:
- Office buildings and professional spaces
- Retail centers and storefronts
- Industrial facilities and warehouses
- Mixed-use developments
- Land and development sites
For sellers: We establish accurate market valuations, create targeted marketing strategies, qualify serious buyers, and negotiate terms that protect your interests through closing.
For buyers: We identify opportunities (including off-market properties), conduct due diligence, and negotiate purchase terms and conditions.
CRE - Lease Renewal & Restructuring
Your lease renewal window is leverage—if you use it correctly.
Most tenants wait too long or accept the landlord’s first offer. We start the renewal process 12-18 months before expiration, analyze current market conditions, and negotiate from a position of strength.
Renewal strategy includes:
- Market rate analysis and comparable data
- Competitive alternatives assessment
- Rent reduction negotiation
- Improved terms and conditions
- Right-sizing your space requirements
Calgary businesses that renegotiate strategically often reduce occupancy costs by 10-20% or more.
CRE - Investment & Portfolio Advisory
For commercial property investors and landlords seeking to optimize their Calgary holdings.
We provide:
- Acquisition targeting and due diligence
- Disposition strategies and buyer sourcing
- Portfolio performance analysis
- Market timing guidance
- 1031 exchange coordination (where applicable)
Our dual expertise in commercial real estate and business sales means we understand how property value connects to business operations—particularly important when properties include operating businesses.
Don't Sign That Lease Until You Know These 5 Negotiation Tactics Landlords Use Against Calgary Tenants
Whether you’re leasing, buying, or selling commercial property in Calgary, one bad clause can cost you tens of thousands. Get the inside knowledge that protects your investment—and your cash flow.
Common Costly Mistakes We See
- Signing personal guarantees without negotiating caps or burn-off provisions
- Accepting "standard" operating costs without audit rights or caps
- Missing early renewal windows that trigger automatic rate increases
- Overlooking demolition clauses that let landlords terminate with minimal notice
- Paying above-market rates because you didn't have current comparable data
The landlord has professional representation. Do you?
Why Calgary Business Owners Trust Us
We Never Represent Both Sides
In most commercial real estate transactions, one agent represents both landlord and tenant—or buyer and seller. That’s a conflict of interest that doesn’t serve you.
We work exclusively for our clients. If you’re the tenant, we represent the tenant. If you’re the buyer, we represent the buyer. Period.
Dual Expertise in Real Estate and Business
Commercial property decisions often involve business considerations: relocations tied to expansions, property sales connected to business exits, lease terms that affect business valuations.
Our team handles both commercial real estate and business sales, providing coordinated service when transactions cross both categories.
40+ Years Combined Calgary Experience
Jordy Huntrods (Senior Associate) and Mike Anisimovicz (Broker) operate under Paramount Real Estate Corporation with four decades of combined experience in Calgary’s commercial market.
That means established relationships, market pattern recognition, and negotiation experience that serves your interests.
Straight Answers, No Pressure
We believe business owners deserve honest advice—even when it’s not what they want to hear. Our job is to give you accurate information so you make informed decisions.
No high-pressure tactics. No inflated projections. Just the facts you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
When you engage us for tenant representation, we work exclusively on your behalf throughout the leasing process. We identify suitable properties, analyze lease terms, negotiate with landlords, and protect your interests through occupancy. In most cases, tenant representation fees are paid by the landlord—not you.
A listing agent represents the landlord’s interests. Their job is to secure the highest rent and best terms for the property owner. A tenant representative works for you, ensuring you get favorable terms, competitive rates, and lease provisions that protect your business.
Timeline varies by complexity, but most commercial lease negotiations take 60-120 days from initial search to signed agreement. We recommend starting the process 6-12 months before your current lease expires or your target move date.
Yes. We provide full-service commercial property sales and acquisitions for office, retail, industrial, and land throughout Calgary and Southern Alberta. Contact us for a confidential consultation.
This is where our dual expertise becomes particularly valuable. Many commercial transactions involve both real estate and business assets—sales, relocations, exits. We coordinate both aspects to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Learn more about our business sales services.
