A single-storey retail building at 851-855 West Broadway has sold to a local private investor for $4,700,000, or approx. $800 per SF. The 5,800 SF building contains three retail 
units and over 5,000 SF of basement space.
The building was recently renovated and tenants include Cafe Artigiano and Uniform Central. A third space was being marketed for lease at $35.00 per SF net.
There is a sizable new office block with a design not like any other on the North Shore coming to central Lonsdale.
City of North Vancouver council voted Monday night to approve a five-storey, 9,600-square-foot retail/office building on the corner of 12th Street and Lonsdale Avenue. The site is currently home to a convenience store, a Vietnamese restaurant, a pizza restaurant as well as a laundromat and hair salon.
The building’s facade is like most glass curtain wall designs used in office towers, except it is rotated 45 degrees and divided up into a mesh. The outer wall then curves outward and turns into an awning over the sidewalk.
The proposal exceeds the density allowed on the site, however council agreed to amend the official community plan because the building includes “employment generating space,” and because the developer is contributing $172,800 to the city’s community amenity fund.
