A 7-storey office building at the corner of West Pender and Hornby has sold for $20,300,000, or $495 per sq ft. The 41,000 sq ft building was built in 1968 and had been marketed for sale in early 2012.
The purchaser was a local investor. The top floor has been vacant and can be renovated to allow use as office space.

Boffo Developments in conjunction with James Schouw have started construction of Artemesia at the intersection of Helmcken and Hornby Streets in Downtown Vancouver. The project was previously halted because of financial troubles but is now proceeding. The project will include 21 suites over 5 storeys.
During demolition of the building that previously sat on the site, the project made news when walls collapsed into the street damaging public and private property. View the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUFjy8wQ8mQ
