New features are being added to Connect4Commerce, supporting business growth, commercial realty and economic development in Alberta.

New Partnership with Alberta’s Real Estate Boards

A new partnership with property listing database Pillar 9, which was founded by nine Alberta real estate boards and the Alberta Real Estate Association, will give Alberta realtors a new platform for their listings and provide potential buyers and sellers with valuable information and tools.

New Partnership with Local Economic Development Agencies

Rocky View County is the first municipality to tap into the power of Connect4Commerce by creating its own branded site featuring all listings in the municipality – a powerful new tool for economic development.

“These partnerships come at a critical time as Alberta and Canada carve a path for economic recovery,” said Bruce Tannas, Founder of Connect4Commerce. “We know small businesses and entrepreneurs are critical drivers of economic growth, and these new tools will help them find the information and listings they need to start or grow their business.”

“Connect4Commerce now features Alberta REALTOR® commercial listings, while providing current and prospective clients with helpful information about buying, selling and leasing commercial property and other business-related topics,” said Shane Griffin, CEO of Pillar 9. “This partnership will bring more eyes and interest to our Alberta REALTOR®s’ listings, helping them connect with clients and driving sales across the province.”

“Every partnership that Rocky View County engages in, expands our reach and propels our brand as the best place for business in Alberta,” said David Kalinchuk, Economic Development Manager at Rocky View County. “Connect4Commerce’s commercial real estate feed brings opportunity to the grassroots and supports our local businesses, developers and commercial real estate brokers.”

The new features start to go live on Connect4Commerce as of October 21, 2021.
