We’re NūSpruce—
Your property partner in business growth.

Your business deserves a prime location that actually performs for its monthly rent. 

Somewhere that attracts customers, strengthens your unique branding, and fuels growth.

‍But dealing with the nitty gritty of commercial real estate solo? A recipe for expensive mistakes.

Our Background

We’re Here to Level the Playing Field.

NuSpruce team, Nat and Ana smiling.

With 15+ years of deep industry experience, our founder, Nat Sterzik, has helped over 100 business owners secure retail, office, and commercial spaces in Calgary.

He knows how landlords *think*—because he’s worked on their side. Now, he uses that insider knowledge to negotiate in your favor, so you get the best space at the best terms, without surprises.

We started NūSpruce on a mission to ensure business owners like you get the same level of service previously reserved for only the largest corporate clients.

Our Difference

The way commercial real estate should be

Most leasing agents get paid by landlords, which means the higher YOUR rent, the more THEY earn.

Say what?!
‍
They aren’t motivated to negotiate fiercely for you—because they make more when you pay more.

We think that’s backwards.

So, we do things differently

Whatever stage you're at (whether start-up or seasoned), we'll sit with you and develop a custom real estate strategy to move your business forward.

We fight for lower rent, better terms, and otherwise hidden cost savings exclusively on your behalf (we love negotiating good deals for good people).

Most leasing agents work for landlords, not you—so the more you pay, (AKA the more they earn the landlord) the more they earn in commissions.

Our flat fee means we work for you to save you as much as possible.

    Your Space is a catalyst for growth, creativity & community

    Get your business set up in the right space, the first time around. If it’s a bad deal, we don’t want it. Brick-and-mortar is not dead, but the space you do get needs to be strategic.

    Trust us, we’re known for finding hidden gems and our instincts are finely tuned to catch what you won’t: like City of Calgary zoning restrictions or upcoming construction that will kill your foot traffic.

    Nothing makes us happier than your business success—being part of your first steps makes it even sweeter.
