Park West

Overview

Park West is a 12-storey 86-suite concrete rental tower located in Vancouver’s most prominent and sought-after rental market – the west of Denman neighbourhood of the West End. Built in 1964, the property is improved on the northeast corner of Gilford & Comox Street on a 17,292 SF (132’ x 131’) RM-5B zoned lot and built over one level of underground parking.

This well-maintained building stands tall on a scenic pedestrian-friendly node featuring mature tree-lined streets and historic building architecture. The suite mix comprises 82 one-bedrooms, two one-bedroom + dens and 2 two-bedroom penthouse suites. Other highlights include panoramic views of the ocean to the south and mountains to the north, 2 elevators, 3 sets of leased washer/dryers and ample parking including 23 secured underground stalls and 26 surface.

Upgrades

Park West has undergone a series of capital upgrades over the years including a new hot water boiler and storage tank (2012), new furnace (2012), plumbing retrofit (1995), asbestos removal and exterior painting (2016), to name a few. Over 50% of the suites have also been renovated.

Location

Park West is extraordinarily well located in the coveted West of Denman area on the corner of Comox and Gilford Street. Denman Street, a popular pedestrian shopping area considered “the main drag” of the neighbourhood, features a wide variety of shops, hotels, nightlife and bars, restaurants, and grocery stores. Robson Street, Vancouver’s pre-eminent high-end shopping destination, is only a 5-minute walk. Finally, Park West is just steps to English Bay Beach and close to the lush greenery of the world famous thousand-acre Stanley Park.

Since the adoption of the West End Community Plan in 2013, the neighbourhood has seen the completion of several high-profile developments, adding new commercial and residential space to the neighbourhood. This new mix of space has added to the vibrancy and attractiveness of the already established West End neighbourhood.
