Cochrane Community Overview
Find answers to the most common questions about Cochrane, one of Alberta's fastest-growing towns, located in the scenic Bow River Valley just west of Calgary.
Cochrane is located approximately 18 kilometres west of Calgary in the Bow River Valley, at the intersection of Highway 1A and Highway 22 (the Cowboy Trail). The drive to downtown Calgary takes about 20-30 minutes.
Cochrane was named after Senator Matthew Henry Cochrane, a prominent Quebec businessman and cattle rancher who established the Cochrane Ranche in 1881. The original ranching site is now the Cochrane Ranche Historic Site.
Cochrane is one of Canada's fastest-growing communities. The 2025 municipal census recorded 39,397 residents, nearly doubling over the past decade. The town projects the population could reach 90,000 by 2050, with annual growth of approximately 5%.

Cochrane has twelve schools under Rocky View Schools and the Calgary Catholic School District, including Cochrane High, Bow Valley High, RancheView School, St. Timothy High School, Holy Spirit School, and École Notre-Dame Des Vallées. However, rapid growth has led to overcrowding, with the town needing more schools to keep up with demand.

Cochrane offers a small-town, family-oriented atmosphere with spectacular Rocky Mountain views and over 80 km of pathways. It has a young median age of 34 and a median household income of $115,000. Traffic congestion is a growing challenge, but residents appreciate the proximity to Calgary and the mountains.

Leasing commercial space in Cochrane typically takes 2-6 months from initial search to signed lease, depending on market conditions, property type, and negotiation complexity. Allow additional time for tenant improvements and permitting. Our commercial agents streamline this process by identifying suitable properties and negotiating favorable lease terms.
While not legally required, working with a commercial real estate professional is highly recommended. Our agents provide access to off-market properties, accurate comparable sales data, lease negotiation expertise, and insight into zoning and development regulations specific to Cochrane. Best of all, tenant and buyer representation is typically at no cost to you — the landlord or seller pays the commission.
Key due diligence steps include: property condition assessment (building inspection), environmental site assessment, zoning verification, title search, review of existing leases (for income properties), financial analysis of operating costs, and appraisal. Our commercial team coordinates these investigations and helps you interpret findings to mitigate risk.
