Our Philosophy
Hard Data, Street Smarts and a Strong Team
If it were only as simple as to rely upon large real estate and demographic/economic data sets, then every business could be lone wolf operations sniffing out their own property leads for locations. Reading between the lines of data and gaining insight at street level is our secret sauce.
Leave the hard work of synthesizing and crunching all of the information into decision points to our experienced team – we have many sources connected to the reality of the real estate market that is alive and ready to breathe new life into stale reports.
Connected to the Real Estate Market. Within Blackstone Commercial, the Tenant Representation Team coordinates and leverages a strong landlord network. Not only to find potential locations; but also to get block to block, property relevant intelligence and street level insights.
Services
Business Strategy & Valuation: The Blackstone Tenant Representation Team works closely with proven business consulting companies that focus on Small/Medium Enterprises (SME) to provide strategic business insight for understanding the position of your business and charting realistic trajectories/pathways moving forward.
Franchise Development: Successful businesses may consider franchise development as the next logical step. The Blackstone Tenant Representation Team works with a broad range of clients in the food service/hospitality sector as well as for general retail services.
Franchise Expansions & Relocations: We work with national and regional franchise brands to strategize on the roll-out of new locations in new and existing Calgary neighborhoods. Small, medium and large developers actively participate with Blackstone Commercial to reveal new opportunities in the Calgary trading area and elsewhere in Alberta.
Market Insight
The Blackstone Tenant Representation Team sources all the major real estate, business and demographic sets. We have dedicated Research Associates to dive in and produce useful and relevant results.
We are boots on the ground. As valuable as large data sets can be for understanding consumer behavior or for traffic patterns and flow etc.; the Blackstone Tenant Representation Team explores and verifies locations by focusing on street sight lines and canvassing businesses on the same block or mall location. Observing the customers who are walking or driving by provides a rich commentary for your business’ compatibility and suitability to a location.
