The real estate market is thriving in Airdrie and we continue to cultivate commerce, industrial and employment growth.
Steady growth and market activity has proven pent-up demand, resulting in the City providing opportunity and capacity for redevelopment and speculative construction in all of our land use districts.
At this time, the City does not have any commercial or industrial property for sale.
If and when the City identifies a surplus of land holdings and Council chooses to list them, they will be advertised here.
Our data shows steady and growing population rates, declining vacancy rates, a growing business community and increasing employment opportunities. We have identified a pent-up demand for serviced medium and heavy industrial land, as well as demonstrated opportunity and capacity for redevelopment and speculative construction within designated Commercial and Mixed Use districts.
Airdrie boasts approximately 550 acres of industrial (light, medium and heavy) and 100 acres of commercial / mixed-use lands that have Community Area Structure Plans in place and are immediately serviceable. From shovel ready to privately held land still open for development, Airdrie Economic Development will guide you from search to shovel in the ground.
