Calgary Suburban Office Market Report Q3 2021

Overall leasing activity in the Suburban office market this quarter was relatively low over the summer, with momentum gaining towards the end of September. Overall, there was a moderate contraction in office occupancy of ~65,000 square feet, two-thirds derived from the Beltline.

With the current moderate levels of activity throughout the Suburban office market, overall occupancy is expected to remain relatively flat for the near future. Numerous small to medium-sized occupiers have let their leases expire as they remain remote until they can confidently project their future office needs when they return with a complete in-person workforce.
In Calgary’s burgeoning tech sector, top-tier physical spaces are seen as a differentiation tool to attract the highest talent possible. Accessible locations, nearby or on-site amenities, and attractive office space are being used as tools to stand out from the rest
