Industrial direction: strata stacked and amenity packed 🌆
Two new projects underline trend toward multi-level space where every square foot is sold, and the perks rival residential condo towers
Wesbild and Kingsett Capital’s Marine Landing project in southwest Vancouver opens 2024: 90 per cent of all the industrial space in the first tower is already sold.
They are on different ends of the city but two industrial projects show the direction of new industrial construction in the city of Vancouver, where the industrial vacancy rate is the lowest in Canada and leasing and land prices are the highest.
The development direction is to build higher, the spaces are sold rather than leased, and the projects are packed with the level of amenities normally seen in residential condo towers.
Called Frameworks, it will have 85 strata commercial units priced from $725 per square foot. Strata units start at 1,300 square feet for industrial space and 1,000 square feet for offices on the top two floors.
