Commercial real estate appraised
Office buildings
From professional offices to multi-tenant towers, we analyze existing leases, market rental rates, occupancy rates, and operating expenses to determine value.
Retail properties
Street-front shops, single-tenant commercial buildings, or service centres. The appraisal considers visibility, foot traffic, parking, and lease conditions.
Shopping centres and plazas
Plazas and shopping centres require an analysis of rental income, vacancy rates, rent per square foot, and the quality of anchor tenants.
Mixed-use buildings (commercial-residential)
Retail at street level with apartments above: we appraise each component using the appropriate method and produce a coherent overall report.
How we appraise a commercial building
Income approach
The primary method for commercial real estate. We capitalize stabilized net income at a market rate to reflect what an informed investor would pay for the building.
Comparison approach
We compare your building with recent sales of similar commercial properties in the Trois-Rivières and Mauricie region.
Cost approach
Useful for specialized or recent buildings, this method estimates the reconstruction cost less depreciation, added to the land value.
For the majority of commercial buildings in Trois-Rivières, the income approach is the method preferred by investors and lenders. It best reflects the actual profitability of the building in the local market.

Boulevard des Forges and Rue des Forges in the downtown core concentrate a significant share of commercial activity. You will find restaurants, boutiques, professional offices, and mixed-use projects resulting from urban revitalization.
Boulevard Gene-H.-Kruger and Boulevard Thibeau host big-box stores and commercial plazas. The appraisal of these properties factors in the population base, sector competition, and consumer trends.
As certified appraisers active in the Trois-Rivières market, we know the rental rates, vacancy trends, and recent comparable sales. This local expertise is essential for a credible and defensible report.
“A commercial building is worth what its income can justify. Our role is to analyze that income with rigour.”

Do you need the leases and financial statements?
Yes. For an accurate appraisal, we request current leases, income and expenses for the past few years, the tax roll, and building plans if available.

Yes. Buildings with both a commercial and residential component are common in Trois-Rivières, particularly downtown. We appraise each portion using the appropriate method.
