Struggling to Find a Commercial Space for Lease in Calgary? We Can Help.

You’re ready to grow. You just need the right space. How hard could it be, right?

But after weeks (or months) of searching, here’s where you’re at:

Landlords aren’t calling back. Left on read. Again.

Listings are outdated or already leased. Blink and they’re gone.

The lease terms? Might as well be hieroglyphics.

You’re worried about overpaying—or worse, signing a deal that haunts you for years.

Meanwhile, business isn’t waiting.

Your inventory is still stacked in your garage.
(Or your dining room. Or your car.)

Client meetings are still happening in cafés.
Another latte, another awkward “so sorry about the background noise.”

Walk-in customers?
Still a distant fantasy.

And while you’re stuck in search mode, competitors are locking in prime locations and growing.

You Deserve a Space That Screams ‘We’ve Made It.’

Imagine it—a location that puts your business on the map.

Customers find you effortlessly. Foot traffic, visibility, and credibility—all built in.
Your team and inventory finally have room to grow. No more playing Tetris with stock.
You walk into a space that feels like home. Professional, polished, and finally yours.

Here’s the Hard Truth (Brace Yourself).

The best spaces? Gone before you even know they exist. (Like that one cool Airbnb everyone fights over.)

The best lease terms? You won’t get them unless you know how to play the game.
(Spoiler: landlords do play favorites.)

The best deals? Negotiated—by someone who knows how.
(Ahem, that’s where we come in.)

Most Business Owners Don’t Realize

they often overpay by 10–20%

simply because they don’t have an expert negotiating for them.

That’s tens of thousands lost over the next few years—money that should go into your growth, your marketing, and your business (not your landlord’s pocket).

Not on our watch.

We help small business owners lock in the right space at the right price—without the stress, the landlord runaround, or the fine print surprises.

Before you sign, let’s make sure it’s a deal that benefits you—not just the landlord.

Sound good? Thought so. 😉

Proven Results, Backed by Experience

107+ business owners helped since 2010

Founder Nat Sterzik has spent 15+ years navigating Calgary’s commercial leasing world, securing prime retail, office, and warehouse spaces with terms that make sense.

14 clients per year

Because we don’t do cookie-cutter deals. We take on just 14 businesses annually, so every lease gets the strategy and finesse it deserves.

90 Days on average

From consultation to key handover, most clients secure their space in just 90 days. No endless hunting. No second-guessing. Just results.

What’s This Really Worth?

Clients save an average of $48,000 per lease—

because we catch fees, secure incentives, and negotiate extras most tenants miss.

And that’s *before* we talk about free rent, improvement perks, and other deal-sweeteners that make a good lease even better.

Why Work With Us?

Most tenant reps are only paid by landlords.

The higher your rent, the bigger their commission. Do they push for lower costs and better terms? Eh, probably not.

We do things differently.

Our job is to get YOU the best possible deal.

While landlords do pay us commission, we charge a flat fee directly to you, so our loyalty to YOU is guaranteed.

  • Flat fee, full transparency—so we’re incentivized to negotiate hard and save you money.

  • Strategic negotiation that actually works—lower rent, better lease terms, and perks landlords don’t offer upfront.

  • Your lease, your business, your win.

The result?

Our commercial real estate services are designed specifically for small business owners. We help you find the perfect space that meets your unique needs and budget.

Our clients save an average of $48K+—

turning our fee into one of the best investments they make.

The NūSpruce Lease Savings Guarantee

We stand behind our negotiation skills. If we don’t save you at least $2,498 (our fee), we refund the difference.

Worst case? You break even. Best case? You save tens of thousands. Either way, you walk away winning.

How It Works

  • Work with us to lock in your space.

  • Follow our expert recommendations for negotiation and property selection.

  • If your final lease doesn’t include at least $2,498 in savings, request a refund within 30 days of signing.

  • We’ll pay up—no fine print, no stress.

Expert lease negotiation. Prime locations. Zero guesswork. Just $1,249 down to get started.

FAQs

You’ve Got Questions—We’ve Got Answers

Can I lease a commercial space in Calgary without an agent and save money?

Technically, yes. But landlords have entire teams protecting their interests—shouldn’t you have an expert in yours?

✔️ Avoid overpaying, hidden risks, and missing out on off-market spaces.

📌 We negotiate fiercely to save you money and protect your business.

Can’t I just work with the listing agent?

You can—but remember, the listing agent works for the landlord, not for you.

✔️ We fight for lower rent, better lease terms, and tenant protections that a listing agent won’t.

I’m not sure I can afford this. Do you offer payment plans?

Yes!
💳 $1,249 upfront to start

What type of commercial spaces do you help lease?

We specialize in retail, office, and warehouse spaces for small business owners in Calgary.
