Location

The Inverness is located on a picturesque mature tree-lined street on the north side of Pendrell Street between Jervis and Broughton Street. Located just one block north of Davie Street, the building is within walking distance to one of the West End’s most pedestrian friendly commercial nodes, offering a mix of bars, restaurants, and other everyday retail amenities.

The past few years has also seen the completion of several high-profile development sites, adding new residential and commercial space to the urban landscape. This new diverse mix of space adds to the vibrancy and attractiveness of the already popular West End neighbourhood. Finally, the building is situated within a short 8-minute walk to Sunset Beach and close to the world famous thousand-acre Stanley Park.
