Commercial real estate appraised
Office buildings
From professional offices to multi-tenant towers, we analyze existing leases, market rental rates, occupancy, and operating expenses to determine value.
Retail properties
Street-front retail, single-tenant commercial buildings, or service centres. The appraisal considers visibility, foot traffic, parking, and commercial lease terms.
Shopping centres and plazas
Plazas and shopping centres require an in-depth analysis of rental income, vacancy rates, rent per square foot, and the quality of anchor tenants.
Mixed-use buildings (commercial-residential)
A retail space on the ground floor with apartments above? We appraise each component using the appropriate method and produce a cohesive overall report.
