Landsdowne House

Overview

Landsdowne House is a 3-storey (plus penthouse) wood-frame rental apartment building featuring 24 suites. Constructed in 1956, the building is improved on a 66’ × 131’ (8,646 SF) RM-5A zoned lot. Located in the heart of Vancouver’s West End only 3 blocks to English Bay, the property features a penthouse suite, secure parking, laundry facilities and storage lockers. Rents are significantly under market, providing investors an opportunity to further enhance the revenue by completing a comprehensive renovation plan as suites turnover.

Location

The West End — especially English Bay — is considered one of Vancouver’s most desirable rental markets and known as an established and dynamic neighbourhood located on the periphery of the downtown core.  

Landsdowne House is extraordinarily well located mid-block on Burnaby Street between Cardero and Nicola Streets. Davie Street, only one block away, is a popular pedestrian shopping area considered “the main drag” of the neighbourhood. With a wide variety of shops, hotels, nightlife and bars, restaurants, and grocery stores, Davie Street offers an abundance of things to do on any given day. Another popular thoroughfare known as Denman Street is only 3 blocks away and stretches across the West End from English Bay to Coal Harbour. Robson Street, Vancouver’s pre-eminent high-end shopping destination, is only a 10-minute walk. The property is also located within walking distance of numerous transit options providing connections to all areas of Metro Vancouver. Finally, Landsdowne House is situated only 3 blocks to the beaches of the English Bay waterfront and 5 blocks to the lush greenery of the world famous thousand-acre Stanley Park.
