What's specific in Calgary
Calgary is my home base and Canada's best exempt market in 2024-2026. Concretely: cap rates 5.5-7% (vs 3.5-4.5% in Toronto) deliver 2× better cash-on-cash returns on the same property type. Plus +90K new residents in 2024 (5% YoY growth) — demand for multi-family rentals, industrial warehouses, healthcare RE projects is outpacing supply. Categories available through me as your EMD advisor: Multi-family MICs/REITs (Calgary SE, Edmonton, Red Deer — target IRR 8-12%), Industrial syndications (Foothills, Balzac logistics — target IRR 9-14% with 5-10 year contracted leases), Mixed-use development LPs (Mission, Beltline, East Village — target IRR 15-22%). Eligible Investor minimum — $25-30K per offering. NRD #4575551, AB-registered — in-person meetings at Calgary head office.
