The Calgary warehouse market, on published data only
Five series, all published, none estimated. Two come from The City of Calgary property record; three from Statistics Canada. None of them is an asking rent, a vacancy rate or an availability figure — those are not published anywhere, by anyone, for Calgary industrial property.

Industrial assessment trend, 2005–2026
Chained year-over-year median of assessment accounts observed in both years of each pair. It removes the account-coverage difference between the City of Calgary current-year and historical assessment layers. It is an assessment index, not a market rent, sale-price or vacancy series.
Permit and development activity
6,047 building permit and 11,890 development application records matched to Calgary industrial addresses by exact civic address. A permit or development application is an administrative record. It does not prove that work started, finished, changed the building, or that any use is currently operating.
Industrial and warehouse rent index, Calgary
Quarterly change in net effective rent for occupied industrial buildings and warehouses, expressed as a price index with 2019=100.

About market
What is the Calgary industrial vacancy rate?
No source behind this site publishes vacancy or availability for Calgary industrial property, and nothing here estimates it. The market pages carry assessment, permit, rent-index, construction-investment and permit-value series only.
Does the Statistics Canada rent index tell me what Calgary warehouse rent is?
This index measures change over time in net effective rent for occupied sampled space. It is not an asking-rent survey, a market rent quote, a vacancy measure, a dollars-per-square-foot benchmark, an appraisal or evidence that a specific property is available.
How much have Calgary industrial assessments risen?
On a matched panel of accounts observed in consecutive years, the chained index stands at 304.7 against a base of 100 in 2005. That measures assessed values for taxation, not rents or sale prices.
