Abbotsford Office Building Sales — Price Per SF Analysis (2018–2026)
Abbotsford Office Building Sales — Price Per SF Analysis (2018–2026)
This report analyzes 11 office building transactions in Abbotsford between July 2018 and April 2026, representing $96.1 million in total transaction volume. The Abbotsford office market is anchored by the South Fraser Way corridor — Abbotsford’s primary commercial spine — supported by McCallum Road, Clearbrook Road, and a range of suburban business park and professional building locations. Average $/SF has increased 26% from $350 in 2018–2020 to $441 in 2023–2026, with 32071 South Fraser Way setting the dataset record at $536/SF in February 2025. Data compiled by David Taylor, Senior Vice President at Colliers International in Vancouver, and tracked on Vancouver Market.
Key Market Observations
32071 South Fraser Way at $536/SF (February 2025) is the dataset’s highest per-SF result and the current South Fraser Way benchmark. The 52,239 SF building sold for $28,000,000 — the largest office transaction in the dataset by dollar volume and the most significant price discovery event in Abbotsford office since McCallum Tower. At $536/SF for a 52,000 SF asset, the result places quality Abbotsford office in a pricing tier that would have seemed unlikely at the 2018–2020 baseline of $297–$350/SF.
McCallum Tower has traded twice — at $350/SF in July 2018 and $425/SF in December 2020 — a 21% increase over 2.4 years. The 30,000 SF building at 2151 McCallum Road sold for $10,500,000 and $12,750,000 respectively, making this the dataset’s clearest single-asset appreciation evidence and the best-documented repeat sale in Abbotsford office. The $425/SF 2020 result has since been surpassed by more recent comparable transactions, suggesting further appreciation if McCallum Tower were to trade again today.
Average $/SF has increased 26% from $350 in 2018–2020 to $441 in 2023–2026. The 2018–2020 average of $350/SF was followed by $355/SF in 2021–2022 — a flat cycle plateau — before the post-2023 acceleration to $441/SF. This trajectory reflects both Abbotsford’s population growth driving office demand, and the continued compression of owner-user buyer pools for well-located suburban office product.
South Fraser Way is the dominant corridor with $51M across four transactions, but shows wide size-driven dispersion. The February 2025 pair illustrates this most clearly: 32071 South Fraser Way achieved $536/SF on a 52,239 SF building, while the adjacent 32160 & 32186 South Fraser Way / 2670 Minter Street portfolio sold at $336/SF on 36,756 SF — a 60% per-SF differential on properties less than one kilometre apart, reflecting differences in building quality, tenancy, and buyer profile.
Maclure Business Centre at $463/SF (December 2025) and 33711 Laurel Street at $457/SF (June 2024) confirm that smaller-format Abbotsford office is pricing above the corridor average. Both transactions reflect owner-user demand for well-maintained professional office in the 7,900–8,000 SF range — a building format that attracts a broader buyer pool and commands a premium over larger investment-grade product. These two results are the most current evidence for small-format Abbotsford office pricing.

The most current transactions are 33386 South Fraser Way at $413/SF (April 2026, ~14,407 SF) and Maclure Business Centre at $463/SF (December 2025, ~7,976 SF). For larger-format buildings, 32071 South Fraser Way at $536/SF (February 2025, ~52,239 SF) is the most recent and most significant price discovery event in the dataset. These three results span a $413–$536/SF range for 2025–2026 and represent the current market pricing band.
What was the largest Abbotsford office sale?
The largest transaction by dollar volume is 32071 South Fraser Way, which sold in February 2025 for $28,000,000 ($536/SF, ~52,239 SF). The second-largest is the February 2025 multi-building South Fraser Way / Minter Street portfolio at $12,350,000 ($336/SF, ~36,756 SF), followed by McCallum Tower at $12,750,000 ($425/SF, December 2020).

The McCallum Tower repeat sale ($350/SF in 2018 to $425/SF in 2020) is the clearest single-asset evidence, and the 2025–2026 results of $413–$536/SF suggest that appreciation has continued through the rate cycle for quality product on well-located corridors.
