Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in 634 17 AVENUE SW in Calgary.
Exceptional retail opportunity located on one of Calgary’s most active and recognizable commercial corridors. Positioned along 17th Avenue SW in the Beltline/Mission area, this property benefits from strong pedestrian traffic, excellent street exposure and immediate access to one of the city’s busiest dining, nightlife, retail and lifestyle districts.
This is a rare opportunity for an operator to secure a presence on 17th Avenue SW, a destination corridor known for restaurants, bars, boutique retail, personal services and high density inner city residential traffic. The surrounding area draws steady daytime, evening and weekend activity, making it well suited for food service, quick service restaurant use, hospitality, specialty retail or a conversion to a new concept, subject to landlord approval and municipal requirements.
The property sits in a highly visible inner city location near the heart of Calgary’s entertainment and restaurant scene, directly across the street from Western Canada High School.
With its prominent 17th Avenue frontage, strong surrounding demographics and proximity to downtown Calgary, this location offers an excellent platform for a business seeking high exposure in a proven urban commercial district. Opportunities of this nature along 17th Avenue SW are limited, particularly for operators looking for a recognizable address with strong visibility and built in neighbourhood traffic.

The premises feature a spacious dining room, well equipped commercial kitchen, ample storage, and efficient back-of-house areas, allowing for a smooth transition for a new operator. Extensive leasehold improvements are already in place, significantly reducing startup costs and time to opening.
Positioned near major transportation routes, hotels, offices, this location benefits from steady weekday and weekend demand from local businesses and nearby residential communities. Generous parking and convenient access further enhance the site’s appeal.
This offering is ideal for experienced operators or first-time restaurateurs seeking a turnkey opportunity in a proven restaurant corridor with strong visibility and long-term potential, but will be subject to landlord approval of the buyer and their business plan.
