Holborn Group has acquired 620-622 Seymour Street in Downtown Vancouver for $5,500,000, or $478 per sq ft. The 2-storey, 11,500 sq ft building has been vacant. The site is 6,000 sq ft which equates to $183 per buildable square foot on land value.
Holborn owns the adjacent Bay Parkade and this acquisition represents additional assembly of land with future redevelopment potential.
Larco Investments Ltd. is planning a redevelopment of Park Royal South to include potentially 350 condo units in two towers, as well as redesigned vehicle circulation, new retail space and state of the art cinemas.
Larco plans to consult with the public and Squamish First Nations over the next 6 to 9 months, followed by a formal proposal to the City of West Vancouver in early 2012. Construction could begin as early as 2014.
Plans are available at Park Royal, or can be viewed here.
Canada Safeway has placed its 42-acre property in the Edmonds area of Burnaby on the market. The site is currently used for a warehousing and distribution centre but is designated within the City of Burnaby’s Official Community Plan as multi-family residential. It is an excellent development opportunity with the potential to develop upwards of 1,500 units.
It is one of the largest undeveloped parcels for multi-family development in Metro Vancouver and will garner considerable interest from the market. The property is being offered directly by Canada Safeway, with an offer deadline of July 5, 2011.
