A two-storey office building at 1525 West 8th Avenue has sold for $19,500,000. The building sits on a 13,680 SF C-3A zoned property and has potential for redevelopment in the future to include residential. Based on the anticipated base density of 3.0 FSR, the price equates to $475 per buildable SF.

The building had been listed for sale earlier this year. Here is a promotional video outlining the property, including a rendering of a potential future condo tower on the site:

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.
