What We Handle
Commercial Real Estate Legal Services We Provide
Millennium Law Chambers handles the full range of commercial real estate legal work in Calgary. Here is what we do for our clients:
Commercial Property Purchase and Sale
Buying or selling a commercial building, retail space, office unit, or industrial property in Calgary involves far more than shaking hands and transferring title. We review and negotiate the purchase and sale agreement, conduct thorough due diligence on the title and the property itself, advise on conditions and subjects, manage the closing process, and make sure the transfer of ownership goes through cleanly and on time. Whether you are buying an income-producing property, a development site, or a commercial condo unit, we handle the legal work from offer to keys.
Commercial Lease Review and Drafting
A commercial lease is a long-term commitment sometimes 5, 10, or even 20 years. The terms you agree to at the start follow you for the entire term. We act for both landlords and tenants in reviewing and negotiating commercial leases across Calgary, including:
- Office, retail, and industrial leases
- Ground leases and build-to-suit arrangements
- Triple net (NNN) and gross lease structures
- Lease assignments and subletting
- Renewal options, rent escalation clauses, and operating cost provisions
- Tenant improvement allowances and landlord work obligations
We flag terms that put you at a disadvantage and negotiate better conditions before you sign not after.
Commercial Mortgage and Financing
Commercial financing deals are almost always more layered than residential mortgages. Lenders require more documentation, security structures are more complex, and the legal requirements are more demanding. We work with buyers, borrowers, and lenders on commercial mortgage transactions, refinancing, construction financing, and bridge loans. We prepare and review security documents including mortgages, general security agreements, and personal guarantees making sure you know exactly what you are agreeing to and that your interests are protected throughout.
Title Transfers and Conveyancing
Transferring title to commercial property in Alberta involves registration through the Land Titles Office under the Land Titles Act. We handle conveyancing for commercial transactions preparing transfer documents, reviewing title for encumbrances and caveats, and ensuring that ownership transfers accurately and without complications. If there are existing liens, easements, or restrictive covenants on the title, we identify them early and advise you on what they mean for your plans.
Commercial Real Estate Due Diligence
Before you commit to any commercial property purchase, proper due diligence is essential. We assist clients in reviewing all aspects of a property’s legal standing title searches, zoning compliance, permitted use, survey issues, municipal notices, and any outstanding work orders or assessments. We also advise on what environmental reports you should obtain and flag anything that could affect the value or usability of the property. Due diligence done right gives you the information you need to negotiate, proceed, or walk away with confidence.
Development and Land Assembly
For developers working on larger projects in Calgary, the legal requirements multiply quickly. We assist clients with land assembly transactions, subdivision agreements, development permit conditions, and rezoning matters. If you are working with the City of Calgary or other municipal authorities, we help you understand your rights and obligations and make sure agreements with public bodies are legally sound.
Commercial Real Estate Disputes
Not every commercial real estate transaction goes smoothly. Disputes arise over purchase contracts that fall apart, lease breaches, latent defects discovered after closing, boundary disagreements, or landlord-tenant conflicts. When that happens, you need a real estate lawyer in Calgary who knows both the transactional side and the litigation side. Our team handles commercial real estate disputes, representing clients in negotiations, mediation, and, where necessary, before the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta.
