Next scheduled review: 2026-09-14

commercial mortgage in Calgary prices off the Government of Canada 5-year benchmark bond yield plus a 190 bps commercial mortgage spread, landing at 5.05% indicative. Conventional term debt on stabilized income-producing commercial property. On the $5,400,000 average Calgary transaction, a 70% advance is $3,780,000, carrying $266,493 of annual debt service on a 25-year amortization and a 5-year term.

Leverage binds before coverage here. The wide 6.2% cap rate produces roughly $334,800 of NOI, enough for $3,799,105 at a 1.25x floor — about $19,105 above what the 70% LTV cap will advance. The deal is sized by value, so the appraisal, not the rent roll, is the document to get right first.

Calgary scores 100 on the Capitalor Lender Density Score — a deep market, with 84 tracked lenders and brokers against 27,800 commercial buildings. Expect competitive tension on well-covenanted paper: quote at least three lenders before accepting a spread.

Stress the file before a lender does. Holding the $3,780,000 loan constant, coverage falls to the 1.25x floor at roughly 5.10% — 0.05% of headroom above today's indicative rate. That headroom, not the headline rate, is what determines whether this Calgary deal survives renewal.

ActQuestions

What rate should I expect on commercial mortgage in Calgary?

5.05% indicative — the Government of Canada 5-year benchmark bond yield plus a 190 bps commercial mortgage spread. Individual quotes move with covenant strength, asset quality, and sponsor track record, and Calgary's deep lender market widens or narrows that dispersion.

How large a loan does a typical Calgary deal support?

On the $5,400,000 average transaction, a 70% advance is $3,780,000. Coverage separately caps the loan at $3,799,105 using $334,800 of NOI against a 1.25x floor, so the binding number is $3,780,000.

Does coverage or leverage bind first on this product in Calgary?

Leverage. NOI supports about $3,799,105, more than the 70% LTV cap will advance, so proceeds are set by the appraisal rather than the rent roll.

What is the annual debt service at that loan amount?

$266,493 per year — $22,208 monthly on a 25-year amortization at 5.05%, against a 5-year term.

How much rate headroom is there before the deal breaks coverage?

Roughly 0.05%. Holding the loan and NOI constant, coverage reaches the 1.25x floor at about 5.10% — the number that matters at renewal.

How many lenders write this product in Calgary?

Capitalor tracks 84 active lenders and brokers in Calgary, a Lender Density Score of 100 against 27,800 commercial buildings — a deep market.

Is this pricing a quote?

No. It is an index benchmark published for comparison, not an offer of credit. Capitalor does not originate, broker, or place debt.
