  • 10,100 SF of retail space;
  • a 2-storey telecommunications facility;
  • a total density of 6.43 FSR

Former RBC Branch in Dunbar Sells for $5,250,000

A freestanding single-storey corner retail building at 4205 Dunbar Street in Vancouver has sold for $5,250,000, or $1,144 per square foot. The property, which most recently operated as an RBC Royal Bank branch, sits on the corner of Dunbar Street and West 26th Avenue in the heart of Dunbar Village.

  • Sale Price: $5,250,000
  • Price per Sq. Ft.: $1,144
  • Cap Rate: Not disclosed
  • Building Area: 4,588 SF
  • Lot Area: 5,314 SF (43.05′ × 123′)
  • Year Built: 1990
  • Zoning: C-2 Commercial

The deal was brokered by Marcus & Millichap. The property had been listed at $5,750,000.

The building was offered vacant and had been marketed for both sale and lease, with a proposed net rent of $60.00 PSF and estimated additional rent of $22.00 PSF, suggesting an investor or owner-user play rather than a straightforward income acquisition.

Newly Built Maple Ridge Apartment Sells for $718,750 per Unit

A newly constructed 24-unit rental apartment building at 11300 Pazarena Place in Maple Ridge has sold for $17,250,000.

The three-storey building, completed in 2024 and branded as Crestwood, sits on a 25,575 SF lot adjacent to the Lougheed Highway corridor, next to Polygon’s Provenance townhome community.

  • Sale Price: $17,250,000
  • Price per Unit: $718,750
  • Units: 24
    • 10 one-bedrooms, 6 two-bedrooms and 8 three-bedrooms
    • Average unit size 770 SF

The residential component sits above a fully leased daycare facility comprising 7,173 SF currently occupied by Hava Childcare Academy.

The vendor was Polygon with the purchase completed by Anthem Crestwood Holdings Ltd.

The transaction was brokered by a four-person Cushman & Wakefield team: Chris Harper, David Venance, Patrick Hannah, and Alex Priatel. More detail on the listing can be found here.

The $718,750 per-unit figure is notable for a suburban Fraser Valley asset, reflecting the premium that newly built, purpose-built rental product commands — particularly when paired with a stable commercial income stream. For context, the quarter’s largest comparable multifamily deal in the City of Vancouver — a newer 31-unit building at 727 East 17th Avenue — traded at $694,000 per unit, making Crestwood’s per-unit pricing competitive with, and slightly above, that benchmark despite its Maple Ridge location. The daycare tenancy at grade likely played a meaningful role in underwriting the price, providing a long-term commercial lease to anchor the income profile of an otherwise fully residential building.

Cap rate was not disclosed.
