Overview
Mon Tru Manor is a well maintained 3-storey wood-frame rental apartment building featuring 61 suites. Constructed in 1969, the building is improved on a massive 41,802 SF, RM-2 zoned lot in New Westminster’s popular Brow of the Hill neighbourhood. The property features balconies/patios, secure underground parking, storage lockers and an ongoing capital upgrade program. The existing rental rates are 10–20% below CMHC levels.
In terms of redevelopment potential, the property is located within the Brow of the Hill area where, under the Draft Official Community Plan, the site is outlined as RM Residential–Medium Density. It is possible that 4-storey condo development may be considered and/or a 6-storey secured market rental project. Each would require a tenant relocation plan as well as contribution to the City’s amenity density payment program. It is recommend any prospective redevelopment plans are confirmed through the City of New Westminster’s planning department.
