Welcome to Sunnyside—one of Calgary’s most sought-after inner-city communities, just steps from the vibrant amenities of Kensington. This exceptional multi-family property presents a prime investment opportunity with strong existing income and additional upside potential. The building features four fully self-contained units, each offering 1,046–1,061 sq ft of well-designed living space, complete with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathroom. All units have been recently renovated with durable vinyl plank flooring throughout, while two units feature updated cabinetry and quartz countertops. As part of these upgrades, each suite is equipped with convenient in-unit laundry, enhancing both tenant comfort and long-term rental appeal. The mechanical systems—individual furnaces and hot water tanks for each unit—are located in the basement, supporting efficient maintenance and operation. Three of the four units are currently tenanted, generating $7,400/month in rental income, with tenants paying their own utilities. The fourth unit was most recently rented for $2,800/month, highlighting the strong revenue potential and immediate upside for investors. Additionally, there is potential to develop two basement units, offering a valuable opportunity to further increase cash flow and maximize returns. The property also includes four outdoor parking stalls, adding to tenant convenience and overall appeal. Ideally located, this property is just moments from Memorial Drive, the iconic Peace Bridge, and an abundance of shops, restaurants, parks, and transit options. Directly across the street, a community park and open green space serve as a year-round gathering place, including a popular outdoor skating rink in the winter months—enhancing the property’s appeal to tenants seeking both lifestyle and convenience. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or looking to expand your portfolio, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey asset in a high-demand rental location with future development ups ide.

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).
