Don’t miss this rare opportunity to secure a beautifully upgraded retail corner unit in the heart of downtown Strathmore! Located at 228 Third Ave., this highly visible commercial space offers excellent exposure, convenient access, and close proximity to essential local services including the post office, registry office, financial services, professional offices, restaurants, and other established businesses.The corner location provides outstanding street presence, two signage opportunities, and excellent visibility from multiple angles, making it an ideal fit for retail, professional services, health and wellness, beauty, office, or other service-based businesses. With ample parking available for clients, customers, and staff, this location is designed for convenience and accessibility.The property has undergone extensive, high-quality interior and exterior upgrades, completed with care, attention to detail, and significant owner investment. This was not a basic cosmetic refresh. The owner has put substantial time, energy, and expense into creating a polished, professional, and move-in-ready commercial space.Exterior upgrades completed in Summer 2025 include new roofing, soffit, fascia, eavestroughs, downspouts, exterior paint, signage, and exterior lighting, giving the building a clean and updated presence from the street. Inside, the unit has been thoughtfully improved with new commercial-grade flooring, new baseboards, fresh paint, upgraded ceiling tiles, new LED lighting, hand-selected chandeliers, Hunter Douglas blinds, bathroom upgrades, storage vanity, drywall repairs, and two new front windows. The upgraded PVC vinyl ceiling tiles are commercial rated, Class A fire rated, waterproof, mold resistant, washable, and designed for long-term durability.Every detail was selected to enhance both appearance and function, from the modern lighting and quality window coverings to the clean finishes and professional interior presentation. The result is a bright, refined, and welcoming space that allows the next owner or tenant to start operating with confidence, without the immediate cost and disruption of major improvements.Strathmore is entering an exciting period of growth, with major regional investments nearby including De Havilland Field in Wheatland County and Phytokana’s planned plant protein processing hub in Strathmore. These projects are expected to support future employment, population growth, and increased demand for local retail and professional services.Opportunities like this in a central, high-exposure location do not come up often. Secure your position in one of Strathmore’s key commercial areas before future growth drives even more demand. (id:65958)
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).
Rough ballpark only. Pick a down-payment option, then tap any underlined number below to plug in your real numbers — tax, condo fee, insurance, utilities. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Cost lines (tax, condo, insurance, utilities) are editable inline above. These two control the mortgage payment math.
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. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy — confirm with a property manager. Always validate your scenario with a mortgage broker and your insurance provider before writing an offer.
We'll reply by text within a few hours. Comparable sales, condition flags, things worth checking — sent before you book a showing.
