What are commercial cap rates in Terrebonne?

Valulor publishes 4 Terrebonne bands. The tightest is multi-residential at a mid of 6.17% across 5.52% to 6.93%.

01Terrebonne in context

How Terrebonne prices commercial property

Terrebonne carries a population of 119,944 and an estimated 3,200 commercial buildings, which works out to 26.7 commercial buildings for every thousand residents. Valulor classifies it as a tier 2 market, meaning it behaves as a secondary market where private capital sets the clearing price and institutions arrive selectively. That classification is not cosmetic: it decides which asset classes get a published Terrebonne page at all, how wide the cap-rate band around a Terrebonne valuation should be, and how much weight a single Terrebonne transaction is allowed to carry when the band is next revised.

The practical consequence for anyone valuing a Terrebonne asset is that the Quebec provincial average is the wrong anchor. Average transaction size here is $2,100,000, and a market that trades at that size supports a different buyer pool than one trading at half of it. Valulor prices Terrebonne against its own 4 published bands, then sanity-checks the result against Quebec peers rather than against a national headline yield.

A Terrebonne valuation on Valulor always resolves to a range, never to a single number. With 4 bands live for this market, the tool applies the band that matches your asset class, then reports the low, mid and high value that your net operating income supports in Terrebonne. Every point of cap rate is worth roughly $2,978 of value on a $2,100,000 Terrebonne deal, which is the single best argument for arguing the band rather than accepting the midpoint.

02Yield structure

What Terrebonne cap rates actually look like

Across the 4 asset classes Valulor publishes for Terrebonne, multi-residential prices tightest at a mid of 6.17% inside a 5.52% to 6.93% band, and office prices widest at a mid of 8.06% inside 7.41% to 8.82%. The distance between those two midpoints is 189 basis points, and that number is the most useful single description of the Terrebonne risk curve.

A 189 basis point spread tells you how much of a premium Terrebonne buyers demand for stepping out of the most liquid asset class into the least. On the same net operating income, moving from multi-residential pricing to office pricing in Terrebonne changes the supportable price by roughly 31 percent.

Every Terrebonne band carries its own provenance flag. A band marked modelled is a baseline derived from the Terrebonne cap-rate seed and tier and is clearly labelled as such; it is not a claim about a transaction that happened. When a real Terrebonne comparable is verified and promoted, it overwrites the modelled baseline for that asset class and the band is re-cut with the observation count attached. Valulor will not print a Terrebonne yield without saying where it came from.

03Price per square foot

Terrebonne pricing on a per-square-foot basis

Cap rates value income; price per square foot values the building. In Terrebonne, the published range runs from $141 per square foot for office to $308 per square foot for multi-residential. Anyone underwriting a Terrebonne asset should test both views: a price that looks fair on yield and unfair on a per-square-foot basis usually means the rent roll is carrying risk the cap rate has not priced.

Marketing time is the second half of that picture. Industrial takes the longest to clear in Terrebonne at 102 days on market, which is the practical reason a Terrebonne seller who needs certainty of close accepts a number below the band mid.

Replacement cost is the boundary condition on all of this. When a Terrebonne building trades meaningfully below what it costs to build the same envelope here, new supply stops and the existing stock of 3,200 buildings gains pricing power over the following cycle.

04Capital depth

Who finances commercial property in Terrebonne

Valulor tracks 11 lenders active against Terrebonne's 3,200 commercial buildings, producing a Lender Density Score of 34. Expressed differently, there is roughly one tracked Terrebonne lender for every 291 commercial buildings in the market. Density is a valuation input, not a footnote: markets where the score is low price wider because a single lender withdrawing changes the clearing price.

A Terrebonne density score of 34 means the financing market is quotable but not commoditised. With 11 lenders tracked here, the realistic outcome is three or four genuine quotes on a $2,100,000 deal, and the pricing difference between them is material enough to change the equity return.

The financing side also explains why Terrebonne bands widen at the bottom of the market rather than at the top. When credit tightens, the Terrebonne buyer who needed 65 percent leverage disappears before the buyer who needed 50 percent does, and the marginal bid that used to set the Terrebonne price is the one that goes missing. That is why Valulor publishes a low, mid and high for every Terrebonne asset class instead of a point estimate.

05Quebec comparison

Terrebonne against the rest of Quebec

Valulor publishes 24 Quebec markets, and Terrebonne should be read against them rather than in isolation. The nearest comparison set includes Montreal (tier 1), Quebec City (tier 1), Laval (tier 2), Gatineau (tier 2). Montreal is the largest Quebec market on the roster at 1,762,949 residents, and the yield distance between it and Terrebonne is the clearest measure of what tier really costs a seller here.

Cross-market comparison is where valuation errors surface fastest. If a Terrebonne asset is being priced at a yield that belongs to a larger Quebec market, the difference is either a genuine quality premium or an unsupported assumption, and the Quebec ladder makes it obvious which.

Tier discipline runs through this comparison. Tier 3 Quebec markets carry anchor asset classes only, because Valulor will not publish an office or hospitality page for a market that cannot support a defensible band. Terrebonne sits at tier 2, so it carries the fuller set of 4 published bands.

06Using these numbers

How to run a defensible Terrebonne valuation

Start with net operating income, not with the asking price. Enter the Terrebonne asset's stabilised NOI into the valuator, select the asset class, and read the three values the Terrebonne band produces. The mid is the number to negotiate from; the low and high are the numbers to justify. On an average Terrebonne deal of $2,100,000, the difference between the low and high value is the entire negotiation.

Then test the sensitivity. Re-run the Terrebonne valuation at the band low and at the band high, and if the deal only works at the tight end, you are relying on Terrebonne liquidity that the 11 tracked lenders here may not supply on the day you need it.

Finally, carry the result forward. The valuation you build for a Terrebonne asset travels with you across the network as a shared deal object, so the value, NOI, gross floor area, asset class and the terrebonne-qc market tag are already filled in on the next tool you open. Nothing is stored and no account is created — the Terrebonne deal lives in the link.
