Understand the measure.
Official occupied-space rent movement provides context. Index points measure change over time; they are not dollar rents or a current asking-rent estimate.

A median and middle 50% range will be published when reviewed, deduplicated local observations qualify.
Report quotes preserve the publisher’s PSF unit. The retrieved headings do not explicitly specify the annual payment period. These quotes are not automatically loaded into the lease calculator.
The rent is only
part of the cost.
Turn your documented quote into a recurring-cost estimate. Compare two spaces and explore how annual base-rent increases change the lease term.
Based on the inputs shown. Unentered utilities, parking, insurance, taxes and fit-out costs are excluded. Confirm what your quote already includes.
Different space sizes and included services can explain cost differences. This compares your entered costs and does not evaluate property quality.

Is this asking rent competitive?
A useful comparison needs similar spaces, lease structures and dates.
Comparable sample in progress
We have not yet released an eligible independent asking-rent sample for this market. Your quote will not receive a fabricated percentile or rating.
You can compare documented quotes using the two-lease tool now.
An index should earn
your confidence.
Different rent measures answer different questions. We show which evidence supports a number, when it was observed and what it can tell you.

Alberta and Canada official series add broader context. Calgary and Edmonton are the local research pilots. Two-city asking-rent research will never be labeled a national estimate.
Calgary market ↗ · Edmonton market ↗Clear numbers.
Clear boundaries.
Asking rent ≠ occupied rent
An advertised quote reflects a space on offer. Official occupied-rent indexes measure rent movement within occupied buildings. They are displayed independently.
Availability ≠ vacancy
Observed advertisements describe a monitored set. A vacancy rate requires a credible total-stock denominator and a defined method. A disappearing listing is not evidence of a completed lease.
Comparable spaces come first
Original benchmarks keep net and gross quotes separate. The provisional gate requires at least five spaces across three properties in a 90-day window, with concentration and overlap checks. These gates do not establish full market representativeness.
History is preserved
Observations and releases are append-only. Updated evidence creates another dated record. Matched-space movement remains experimental until repeated coverage and stability support publication.
Reading the official chart
The index is based on occupied-space net effective rent, excluding operating costs and additional rent. A value above 100 indicates a higher index than the 2019 average, not a dollar rent. The year-over-year figure compares the same month in consecutive years. Monthly observations are published quarterly. Recent periods may be revised.
Reading report quotes
Report averages refer to the publisher’s defined market and sample. Calgary Class A office and Edmonton all-class office figures are not like-for-like comparisons. Reports are factual context only; they are not inputs to our independent median, percentile or distribution calculations.
What this release does not estimate
No independent asking-rent benchmark, custom asking-rent index, achieved lease rate, property valuation or tenant-leverage score is published yet. Unknown costs and unsupported comparisons remain visible.
Read beyond the headline rate.
Effective rent: compare the entire offer ↗
A quoted rent is the starting point of a lease comparison. Incentives, payment timing and the cost of making a space usable can change the decision. Build two views: the recurring rent schedule and the cash required to open and operate.
How to compare two office rent quotes ↗
An office decision combines cost, working capacity and the experience of using the building. Compare the same payment period and area definition first, then ask whether each layout supports the people and activities the business actually needs.
Compare warehouse leases around the operation ↗
A warehouse needs to fit the movement of goods, people and equipment. Start with a comparable rent calculation, then test the physical constraints that determine whether the business can operate in the premises.
Build a retail occupancy budget before choosing a site ↗
A retail premises decision needs a cost model that survives a slower opening and uneven sales. Keep premises costs separate from the rest of the business, then test how much cash the location needs under clearly labelled sales scenarios.
Lease escalation: see the whole payment path ↗
A first-year rent figure can hide a very different cost later in the lease. Build a year-by-year schedule, keep the escalation mechanism explicit and compare the whole term alongside the initial monthly payment.
How to read a commercial rent index ↗
A commercial rent chart is most useful when you know exactly what it measures. Read the rent concept, geography, sector and dates before interpreting the line. Then use the result as context for a more specific property decision.
