Tenant Representation

Your Advocate in Every Step of the Leasing Journey

At JR Mercantile Real Estate Advisors Inc., we specialize in tenant representation services that put your business goals first. Whether you’re opening your first location, expanding across Calgary, or relocating for better exposure, our team is here to help you navigate the complex commercial real estate market with clarity, confidence, and strategy.

With over 25 years of experience in representing tenants, landlords, and developers, our Principal Broker Jeff Robson brings a uniquely balanced perspective to the table—one that helps you secure the right space, negotiate the best possible terms, and avoid common pitfalls along the way.

What We Do for You

We represent you—not the landlord. That means your priorities, your budget, and your long-term success guide every recommendation we make.

Our tenant representation services include:

Needs & Location Analysis
We work with you to define your operational requirements, space needs, target demographics, and ideal trade areas.
Site Identification & Tour Coordination
We help source and shortlist properties that align with your goals and coordinate private tours, so you can evaluate spaces efficiently.
Comparative Market Analysis
We provide insight into rental rates, incentives, and market conditions to ensure you’re getting fair value.
Offer & Lease Negotiation
From drafting Letters of Intent (LOIs) to negotiating lease terms, we advocate on your behalf to secure terms that support your business long-term.
Liaison with Legal, Design & Construction Teams
We coordinate with other professionals—lawyers, designers, contractors—to help ensure your space is functional, compliant, and on schedule.
Ongoing Support
Even after your lease is signed, we remain available for renewals, expansions, and future site planning.

Who We Represent

Local entrepreneurs and small business owners
National and regional retail brands
Medical, wellness, and personal care providers
Hospitality groups and restaurants
Professional service firms and offices

Why Choose JR Mercantile?

Unlike brokerages that serve both landlords and tenants in the same transaction, we offer dedicated tenant representation to ensure your interests are never compromised. Our deep knowledge of Calgary’s inner-city and suburban commercial real estate market gives you access to off-market opportunities and emerging developments before they hit the public radar.

We understand that finding the right space is more than just square footage—it’s about positioning your business for growth. With JR Mercantile by your side, you gain a true partner committed to helping you succeed.
