In what is considered a record price paid for a commercial land assembly in Vancouver’s Marpole area, a Vancouver investor group backed by funding from China has paid $19.85 million for a 20,000-square-foot retail site in the 8400 block of Granville Street.
Landcor Data confirmed the undisclosed price at the request of Western Investor.
Stanley Chiu, vice-president of Gammon International Real Estate Corp., Vancouver, acted as both the buyer and seller agent in the transaction. The site currently holds six retail properties covering 20,000 square feet. The new owner will apply for higher-density zoning for future residential development, according to Chiu.
