Located in the heart of Calgary’s highly desirable Beltline District, 1309-12th Avenue SW offers a rare multiunit investment with both stability and upside. This is a three-level, eleven-unit apartment building which consists entirely of large one-bedroom suites, ranging between 750 and 800 square feet, as well as one smaller unit—making it an ideal asset for targeting the city’s growing population who desire an urban living environment. This apartment building was constructed in 1957 and has a solid structure, bones and fundamentals. Most units have received various levels of interior renovations over time, however, there remains opportunity for any investor who seeks to update this asset to further drive rental growth. For the ambitious investor this is a rare opportunity to secure an income generating property in a prime location, which offers strong cash flow and incredible long term value. There are 5 total parking stalls. This building is minutes from Kensington, downtown, 17th Avenue, CTrain and bus routes, access to parks and the bow river pathway. 1309-12th Avenue SW stands as a prime value-add opportunity in one of Calgary’s most desirable, walkable and sought-after urban communities.

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).

Approximation only. Actual cash flow depends on financing terms, condition reports, current market rents, property tax assessment, condo fees, and tenant quality.

Talk to a mortgage broker before relying on these numbers.

Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
