Globe Cinema is a distinctive entertainment and commercial property for sale in downtown Calgary, located at 617 8 Avenue SW in the Downtown West End. This two-storey building totaling approximately 12,300 square feet offers a rare opportunity for entertainment venues, live performance space, cinema use, creative office, or event-oriented ownership in Calgary’s downtown core. Positioned along 8 Avenue SW, the property benefits from strong street exposure, high pedestrian traffic, and immediate access to CTrain stations, public transit, office towers, hotels, restaurants, and residential developments. The building was renovated in 1995 and offers flexible interior potential suitable for a variety of cultural, creative, and commercial uses. Zoning supports a broad range of downtown commercial and entertainment-related uses (subject to City approvals). Globe Cinema represents a unique opportunity to acquire a well-known downtown Calgary entertainment property within an established cultural corridor.

Excellent opportunity to acquire a well located restaurant and bar space on Calgary’s highly desirable 17th Avenue SW. This location offers strong exposure, steady traffic, a good patio, and the flexibility for a new owner to continue with the existing style of business or bring in an entirely new food and beverage concept. The space is already set up as a full service restaurant and bar, but the real value is in the location, the lease, the patio, and the ease of conversion. The kitchen has been recently renovated, which gives a new operator a major head start and helps avoid the cost and downtime of a major back of house buildout. The front of house area can be refreshed or redesigned without a complicated renovation, making it a good fit for many different concepts, including casual dining, lounge, pub, cocktail bar, specialty cuisine, quick service, or a new branded restaurant. The rent is very attractive for 17th Avenue SW and should be viewed as one of the strongest selling features of this opportunity. For an operator looking to control occupancy costs while securing a presence in one of Calgary’s best known restaurant and entertainment areas, this is a very compelling option. This is a great opportunity for an owner operator, experienced restaurant group, or growing food and beverage brand looking for a flexible space in a strong inner city location. With a renovated kitchen, good lease economics, a patio, and the ability to rebrand or convert the decor with relative ease, this location provides a solid foundation for a new operator to step in and make it their own.

Sometimes I get unique opportunities that come up for sale and this is one of them! A rare chance to buy a Bar \ Lounge with a very cool entertainment component. The business is built on family fun, a place for young people to gather and an amazing opportunity to build a very strong corporate team building business as well. There is a small kitchen that is easily operated by staff, without the need for a formal Chef or cooking staff, but you could also explore the idea of putting in a formal full scale kitchen. The rent is VERY reasonable and the whole operation can be run with minimal staff, making it a desirable business model for an ambitious young operator to take to the next level. There are so many things that you need to know about this opportunity, so make a point of checking out this very cool business opportunity.
