    Here is an opportunity to take over a well established bar and grill in the growing community of High River. Sally’s Bar & Grill has built its business around a comfortable, casual atmosphere, traditional pub style food, cold drinks and regular entertainment that keeps customers coming back. Located on Centre Street SE, the business benefits from a visible and easily accessible location and serves a mix of local regulars, surrounding rural customers and visitors to the High River area. The restaurant and bar offers an established food and beverage operation with a familiar neighbourhood pub atmosphere. Regular entertainment including karaoke, live music and special event nights gives the business additional reasons to bring customers through the doors beyond the traditional lunch and dinner business. A significant feature of this operation is its 14 VLTs, which provide an additional and established revenue stream to the business. The VLT operation generates strong cash flow and complements the food, beverage and entertainment sides of the business, giving a purchaser multiple sources of revenue within one established operation. This is the type of business that gives a new owner several directions to take it. Continue operating Sally’s and build on the existing customer base, local recognition and established revenue streams, or bring your own ideas, marketing and operating style to the location. For an owner/operator looking for an established restaurant and bar outside Calgary, this is a solid opportunity to step into an existing operation in a strong Southern Alberta community. High River recorded a population of more than 14,300 in the 2021 Census and also serves as an important commercial and service centre for the surrounding Foothills region. Foothills County recorded a population of more than 23,000 and includes a large rural trading area made up of nearby communities, acreages, agricultural operations and country residential properties. High River’s location approximately 30 minutes south of Calgary’s southern city limits also gives the community strong regional access, while continued residential, commercial and employment growth throughout the Foothills area supports the long term potential of the local market. A solid opportunity to acquire an established hospitality business with an existing customer base, recognizable local presence, multiple revenue streams and access to a trading area that extends well beyond the Town of High River itself. Contact your agent for additional information and details on the business. More details

Why Calgary Commercial Cap Rates Are Moving the Way They Are in 2026

Industrial · Multifamily · Office · Retail Trends

Industrial Momentum

Two consecutive years of transaction growth and a stabilizing cap rate around 6.9% make industrial the strongest-performing segment of Calgary's commercial market right now. Logistics operators, contractors and owner-users continue to drive demand for industrial property for sale in Calgary, particularly in the NE and SE submarkets.

No Rent Control Keeps Multifamily Cap Rates Tight

Alberta's lack of rent control legislation continues to make Calgary apartment-building commercial real estate attractive to private investors seeking predictable income growth alongside the city's population growth, even with 2026 YTD multifamily transaction volume down 19.5%. Population growth of 13.1% over the past three years and a median household income of $114,200, the highest of any major Canadian metro, continue to support the underlying rental demand behind that pricing.

Office Is Repricing, Not Stalling

A 12.1% market cap rate looks alarming next to industrial or multifamily, but the 55.9% YTD jump in office sales volume shows buyers are actively transacting at these levels; this is a market finding its floor, not one that's frozen.

Retail Stays the Boring, Reliable Middle

Calgary commercial cap rates in retail have moved the least of any sector over the past five years, which is exactly what you'd expect from a segment anchored by grocery and service tenants with long-term leases.

How to Calculate and Use a Cap Rate

Cap Rate = Net Operating Income (NOI) ÷ Purchase Price.

Before comparing any listing to the Calgary commercial cap rates above, calculate NOI from verified financials: gross income minus vacancy allowance and operating expenses, excluding debt service, then divide by the asking price. If your number sits meaningfully below the current range for that asset type, you're likely paying a premium for location, tenant quality, or building condition. If it sits above the range, dig into why: deferred maintenance, a short remaining lease term, or elevated vacancy risk are the usual culprits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current Calgary commercial cap rates by property type?

As of 2026, Calgary commercial cap rates sit at approximately 12.1% for office, 6.9% for industrial, 6.7% for retail, and 5.2% for multifamily, based on current capital markets data. These are market-wide averages; individual asset pricing varies by location, building quality, and tenant covenant.

Why are Calgary commercial cap rates so much higher for office than other sectors?

Office cap rates have expanded from 9.5% in 2021 to 12.1% today because buyers are pricing in real leasing risk from elevated downtown vacancy, not just current income. Even so, office sales volume is up 55.9% year-to-date, showing active repricing rather than a frozen market.

Are Calgary commercial cap rates higher than Toronto or Vancouver?

Yes, particularly in multifamily. Calgary multifamily investment yields typically run 4.75% to 5.25%, which is 50 to 100 basis points above comparable assets in Vancouver and Toronto, offering more income per dollar invested at a lower entry price.

Which Calgary commercial sector has the most stable cap rates?

Retail and multifamily have shown the least year-over-year movement over the past five years. Multifamily in particular has held close to 5.2% to 5.3% since 2023, supported by Alberta's lack of rent control and continued population growth.

How is a market cap rate different from a transaction cap rate?

A market cap rate is a broader, model-based estimate reflecting overall pricing trends across an asset class, while a transaction cap rate reflects the actual yield on a specific closed sale. Always verify a specific deal's cap rate against recent comparable transactions, not just the market average.
