I am pleased to announce the off-market sale of Main Gate, a 5-storey boutique office building steps from Granville Island. The property at 1505 West 2nd Avenue was acquired by Commonwealth Management Ltd.

The building is one of the more distinctive office assets on Vancouver’s Westside — a 45,000 SF concrete structure built in 1990 on a 20,000 SF freehold waterfront lot along the Seawall. The building is anchored by the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts and its Blue Hat Café at grade, with upper floors of office space arranged around a bright central atrium. The property includes 82 secured underground parking stalls and sweeping views over Granville Island, False Creek, and the city.

The transaction was completed off-market and structured as a share sale. This marks only the fifth office building purchased by an investor in Metro Vancouver in 2025, reflecting continued caution among buyers toward the asset class. For well-located, physically distinctive office assets with a clear value-add story, buyer appetite does exist — the challenge is finding assets that meet the bar.

DETAILS:

• Sale structure: Share sale (price not disclosed)
• Building size: 45,000 SF
• Lot size: 20,000 SF
• Asset type: Office
• Year built: 1990
• Parking: 82 secured underground stalls

The sale was brokered by David Taylor of Colliers International.

The property at 5087 Irving Street is a three-storey, wood-frame apartment building constructed in 1969, situated on a 20,560 SF corner lot fronting both Irving Street and Newton Street in Burnaby’s Metrotown neighbourhood. The building contains 9 bachelor, 16 one-bedroom, and 7 two-bedroom suites averaging 629 SF, with one level of underground parking and 32 stalls. The net operating income at the time of sale was $500,528, reflecting a going-in yield of 4.77% on the purchase price.

The sale was brokered by Simon Lim, James Lang, and Jessica Hathaway of Colliers, who had marketed the property at an asking price of $12,800,000.

Beyond its income characteristics, the site carries significant redevelopment potential. Under Burnaby’s 2050 OCP draft, the property is designated High-Rise Apartment 1, permitting up to 30 storeys with the ability to increase to 40 storeys through density bonusing — a designation that attracted considerable developer interest during the marketing campaign. The property is within walking distance of both Metrotown and Royal Oak SkyTrain Stations on the Expo Line.

At $328,125 per unit, the sale sits modestly above the Burnaby apartment average tracked on this site, reflecting the transit proximity and redevelopment upside of the Metrotown location.

The property is located in Burnaby, on the north side of Irving Street between Marlborough Avenue and Royal Oak Avenue in the Metrotown neighbourhood.

The property at 1802 Marine Drive is a corner site at Marine Drive and 18th Street in Ambleside Village, one of the most tightly held retail corridors in Metro Vancouver. Built in 1966, the single-storey building sold vacant, with the transaction recorded as a fee simple transfer in April 2026. The site is zoned AC2 (Ambleside Centre Zone 2) and falls within the Ambleside Village Centre OCP designation, which supports future mixed-use redevelopment.

The property last traded as part of a two-lot assembly that had been marketed by Cushman & Wakefield as 1802–1814 Marine Drive, a 6,872 SF fully leased retail complex occupied by Sleep Country and S.T. Arts. The sale price reflects the premium that Ambleside commands — Marine Drive has consistently produced some of the highest retail prices per square foot in Metro Vancouver, with recent transactions along the corridor ranging from just under $900 to over $1,900 per square foot.

The property is located in West Vancouver, at the corner of Marine Drive and 18th Street in the Ambleside neighbourhood.
