Commercial Appraisal in Drummondville
Whether you own an office building downtown, a retail space in a commercial zone, or an industrial facility in the Saint-Nicéphore industrial park, our OEAQ certified appraisers deliver rigorous and objective appraisals.
Types of Commercial Properties
Office building
Whether single-tenant or multi-tenant, we evaluate office buildings by analyzing signed leases, occupancy rates, operating expenses, and comparable transactions.
Retail space
Storefronts, strip malls, and standalone retail spaces: we consider location, foot traffic, visibility, and lease terms.
Industrial building
Warehouse, workshop, manufacturing plant: we evaluate the functional characteristics, clear height, loading capacity, office-to-warehouse ratio, and lot size.
Multi-unit residential (5+ units)
For buildings with five or more units, the income approach is the method of choice. We analyze gross income, operating expenses, and overall capitalization rate.
Mixed-use building
Commercial on the ground floor and residential above: we combine appraisal approaches to establish a value that reflects both revenue sources.
Our Appraisal Methods
Income approach
The primary method for commercial properties. We analyze effective gross income, net operating income, capitalization rate, and comparable market returns.
Comparison approach
We identify comparable commercial transactions in the Drummondville region and apply adjustments by type, location, size, and date of sale.
Cost approach
Used for specialized or newer buildings: we estimate replacement cost less depreciation, adding land value.
