I am pleased to announce the sale of 1166 West Pender Street, a 140,000 SF office building located in Downtown Vancouver.  This off-market transaction closed earlier this month.

The 15-storey building was built in the early 1970’s and is located on an 18,700 SF site that may permit a higher density and height in the future.
