NAI Commercial

What NAI Commercial does

NAI Commercial, operating under the brand 460 Commercial, is a commercial real estate brokerage serving the Central Island region of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The firm is part of the 460 Group of Companies, a private diversified parent that has grown to 6 operating companies across 7 offices in 7 cities since 2013, including Nanaimo, Parksville, Duncan, and Powell River. NAI Commercial provides a full-service commercial real estate offering covering property purchase and sales, leasing, tenant representation, property management (delivered via the in-house PM Group), business sales, and consulting services to investors, business owners/operators, and business sellers on Vancouver Island.

The underlying technology stack is not proprietary: the firm runs on a standard third-party real estate listings platform (myrealpage.com) and uses a website plus email newsletter as its primary marketing surface. There is no disclosed software development, AI tooling, or platform engineering function. Distribution is sales-led, with a team of industry-expert agents delivering direct, personalized service supplemented by an online listings portal for property discovery.

The business model is commission-driven. Revenue is generated from transaction fees on commercial property sales and leases, recurring property management fees for ongoing portfolio oversight, and professional services fees for consulting and business sale advisory work. Pricing is unit-based for leases (quoted per square foot annually, with disclosed rates ranging from C$0.75/sqft to C$25/sqft) and transaction-based for sales (e.g., a Nanaimo asset listed at C$2.3M). Customer segments are horizontally oriented across SMB investors, local and expanding businesses, and business sellers, with no disclosed enterprise anchors or named client logos.
