Overview

Colonial Apartments is a three-storey frame 43-suite apartment building located in the popular Uptown District of New Westminster. Built in 1965, the property features balconies, 3 one bedroom penthouse suites, secure underground and surface parking, lockers, elevator and many upgrades. Cable TV included in rent.

Location

The subject property is located in the Uptown District of the City of New Westminster, which is bounded by Burnaby to the north, McBride Boulevard to the east, Queens Avenue to the south and 12th Street to the west. The Uptown District comprises the central commercial node for New Westminster, focused at the intersection of 6th Avenue and 6th Street. Retail amenities, financial institutions, office buildings, restaurants and strip retail facilities are prevalent in this neighbourhood. More specifically, the subject property is situated on the southeast corner of Ash Street and 5th Avenue and is located in a relatively quiet area as Ash Street ends one block north of the subject property in a cul-de-sac. Only one and a half blocks south of Royal City Mall and 3 blocks east of Moody Park. Public transportation is available on both Sixth Ave. and Sixth St. in addition to Eight St, one block west.

– Surface parking on east side of building for 25 stalls
– One washer/one dryer on each floor (leased)

Recent Upgrades

There is currently an unauthorized suite which has not been included in the rent roll. The City of New Westminster has offered two options of what can be done with this space. It can either be used for general storage or may be added to the adjacent apartment, thus increasing the size of the adjacent apartment from a two bedroom to a three bedroom unit.
