The Invisible Anchor: Nonprofit Space and Real Estate Stability in Alberta

The Nonprofit Chamber, in partnership with RUNWITHIT Synthetics, is developing a first-of-its-kind data and insight platform to better understand how nonprofit organizations participate in Alberta’s real estate system. ​

Focusing on Calgary and Edmonton, the project will create an integrated dataset linking nonprofit-occupied space to market indicators such as assessed values, vacancy patterns, lease stability, land-use conditions, and neighbourhood vitality. Using spatial analysis and synthetic modelling, the project will generate new insight into how nonprofit presence contributes to occupancy, neighbourhood continuity, and local stability. The result will be a reusable information resource that supports better decision-making by real estate professionals, municipalities, funders, and sector leaders.​
