The Spire Group

What The Spire Group does

The Spire Group (legal entity Spire Group Inc.) is a privately held healthcare real estate consulting and advisory firm headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The firm specializes in advising healthcare professionals — primarily dental practitioners, physicians, physiotherapists, and pharmacy operators — on commercial real estate decisions across North America. Its service platform is organized around three interconnected modules: site selection and demographics, lease negotiation, and healthcare facility planning, covering the full real estate lifecycle from initial location analysis through build-out coordination. The firm claims a cumulative track record of 4,000+ commercial agreements and $600M+ in client cost savings, backed by 100+ years of combined experience across its named consultants (Michael Permack, Jeff Sklar, and Jason Shantz).

The company operates a pure professional services model with no proprietary technology platform; its "core technology" is the consultant expertise, market knowledge, and healthcare-tenant-specific intelligence held by its team. Engagement delivery relies on direct, personalized consultation via phone and email, with Calendly embedded on the website for scheduling. Marketing is consultative and referral-driven, leveraging the firm's website as a content hub, LinkedIn presence for team members, and a strong base of client testimonials (notably from dental practices such as Smileville Dental and individual practitioners).

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a quote-based, engagement-by-engagement basis with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers or fee structures. The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and no patents or formal certifications — operating as a founder/management-owned specialty advisory practice. Customer concentration leans toward dental practices, with secondary exposure to medical clinics, pharmacies, and adjacent healthcare-adjacent businesses.

Broad incumbents

• Colliers International: Global commercial real estate services firm (Canadian-headquartered) with a dedicated healthcare real estate practice covering leasing, project management, and investment sales. Compares to Spire as a broader incumbent offering overlapping healthcare tenant rep and advisory services as part of a much wider portfolio.
• Cushman & Wakefield: Global commercial real estate services firm with a healthcare specialty practice covering brokerage, project and facilities management, and valuation. Overlaps with Spire on healthcare office leasing and advisory but at a national/international scale with much broader service lines.
• Avison Young: Canadian-founded global commercial real estate firm with offices across North America providing brokerage, advisory, and property management. Like Spire, it is Calgary-anchored and competes for the same healthcare and office leasing mandates, but operates as a broad incumbent across multiple asset classes.
• Northmarq: U.S. commercial real estate investment, debt, and equity firm with a healthcare real estate platform covering investment sales, financing, and advisory. Comparable to Spire at the intersection of healthcare real estate advisory, but oriented toward capital markets and larger transactions.
• CBRE Group: World's largest commercial real estate services firm with a dedicated Healthcare Real Estate practice providing tenant representation, capital markets, and project management to health systems and practitioners. It overlaps directly with Spire's healthcare advisory work but at vastly greater scale and asset-class breadth.
• NAI Global (Healthcare Practice): Global network of independently-owned commercial real estate firms with healthcare-specialized brokers handling tenant representation and investment sales for medical and dental practices. Comparable to Spire as a multi-firm network competing for healthcare tenant mandates, but with broader asset-class reach.
• JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle): Global real estate services and investment management firm with a Healthcare practice offering tenant representation, strategic advisory, and project management. Comparable to Spire in the healthcare tenant rep workflow but serves a broader client base including large health systems and investors.
• Marcus & Millichap: Specialized commercial real estate investment sales firm with a significant healthcare real estate division (Marcus & Millichap Healthcare Real Estate Group). While more investment-sales focused than Spire's advisory orientation, it competes for the same healthcare property owners and investors in the U.S. market.

Direct peers

• CARR Healthcare Realty: CARR is the largest healthcare-only commercial real estate firm in North America, providing tenant and buyer representation, project management, and lease administration exclusively for healthcare practices. It is the closest functional analog to Spire: same vertical (healthcare), same service modules (site selection, lease negotiation, facility planning), and same buyer profile (dentists, physicians, medical groups).
• Healthcare Real Estate Advisors: U.S. healthcare-focused tenant and buyer representation firm serving medical practices, dental groups, and healthcare systems with site selection, lease negotiation, and project management. Closely comparable to Spire in vertical specialization, service mix, and client profile (independent practitioners and small groups).
