Locally Owned, Purposefully Boutique, Backed by Experience.
JR Mercantile is a boutique Commercial Real Estate Brokerage and Advisory firm in Calgary. Although we’re known for our inner-city expertise in retail and restaurants, we support clients with a diverse range of commercial and industrial properties across Alberta.
Why Choose Us As Your Preferred Commercial Real Estate Advisor?
A key reason you work with us is because we don’t over-extend our team. By limiting our number of engagements, we maintain our customer service standards. As a result, we’re able to commit the time needed to support you and get the job done right.
Our Approach with Leasing Properties
We take the time necessary to understand you, your needs, and your property. Our goal is to recognize the larger opportunity for your property, that others will miss. Then we partner with you to bring your properties to life. This includes making your properties easier to find and to show remotely. The result is reduced vacancy times and maximized value realized.
Unlike other brokerages, we operate with a team structure that enables cooperation amongst brokers. Our collaborative compensation structure eliminates the competition within our team and allows everyone to do what’s right for clients.

About Jeff
Jeff is the owner and Broker of JR Mercantile. He has 27 plus years of commercial real estate advisory experience, focused on inner-city and mixed-use developments. His clients range from institutional landlords to local entrepreneurial developers, high profile restauranteurs to national retailers.
Jeff participates early in the design phase to help ensure the commercial environment is not only readily leasable but workable for both Landlord and Tenant. The end-product is increased value and long-term stability of tenancy.
He started his career with a large international brokerage firm. Jeff spent several years leasing enclosed malls with one of Canada’s largest pension funds. He travelled across Canada with boutique tenant representation firms and has led the leasing initiatives of some of Canada’s most innovative mixed-use developers. In 2017, 2018 and 2019 he was the Co-Star Power Broker Award recipient for retail leasing transactions.
