The 2026 assessment on this account is $2,970,000 — the 1,967th highest assessed value of the 6,205 industrial accounts on the Calgary roll and 127th of 341 in Manchester Industrial. Divided by the published parcel area, that is $67.63 per square foot of land, against a Manchester Industrial median of $58.74 and a citywide industrial median of $26.15. That ratio is arithmetic on an assessed value and a parcel area — it is not a land price, a rate per buildable foot, or a rent.
Across the 6 years of assessment history published for this roll number, the assessed value moved from $2,400,000 in 2021 to $2,970,000 in 2026 — 23.8% higher. Year over year it moved +4.6%, and +23.8% across five years. These are movements in a mass-appraisal figure prepared for taxation, not in rent, price or value realised in a transaction.
The City of Calgary permit and development registers connect 5 development applications to this exact civic address, the most recent dated 2024-04-09. Those records are administrative filings. They show that something was applied for or issued — not that any work started, finished, or changed how the building can be used.
The nearest published City of Calgary truck route is 36 m away (unrestricted truck route), and the nearest dangerous-goods route is 261 m away. That distance is measured from the property reference point to the nearest published route line. It says nothing about how a truck actually gets onto this site, what it may carry, or how long the trip takes.
