OUR LATEST LISTING AT 504-546 BEATTY STREET SPLASHSES THE PAGES OF DECOIST
FROM THE ARTICLE, A QUOTE FROM PAUL ALBRIGHTON:
"There are few buildings in Vancouver left that have not been restored already, and there is not the same allowable density as a building that can be taken down for a new high-rise. Given the fact that the supply of heritage buildings is limited, and no residential conversions are currently being redeveloped, the value has risen sharply, as the demand has increased without any additional new projects being added to the Downtown core."

"HERITAGE LOFTS ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE RARE"
546 BEATTY ST - MOST RECENT EXAMPLE
FROM THE ARTICLE, A QUOTE BY PAUL ALBRIGHTON:
“Given the fact that the supply of heritage buildings is limited, and no residential conversions are currently being redeveloped, the value has risen sharply, as the demand has increased without any additional new projects being added to the Downtown core,” he says.
The Crane Building was once a warehouse and commercial building where Crane toilet and sinks were made. It’s also Vancouver’s first steel-frame building, and was unique when it was first built in 1911.
The building features many restored elements including the natural brick used in 1911, original beams through the units, and in the common hallways." Read the full story here.

PAUL ALBRIGHTON'S LATEST SALE AT SHANGRI-LA WAS FEATURED
BY THE DONE DEALS SECTION IN THE GLOBE AND MAIL
PUBLIHSED NATIONALLY
Property Advertisement Link: http://www.albrighton.ca/property_details-3-119797.html
Suite 2705-1111 Alberni St, Shangri-la Vancouver. It was a nice NE corner unit, 1094 sq.ft. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a small den with some city views, and a corridor water view. The unit was in original condition, but very well kept as it had been owner occupied for most of its life. It was listed at $1,510,000 on September 19th 2017, and sold in 8 days for $1,490,000 ($1361.97/sq.ft.). We showed it to about 15 groups within the week. We had one offer within 6 days, which was slightly too low for the seller to accept, and after declining that initial offer, we then received a better offer the next day which after some negotiation landed within 1.3% of the asking price.
The seller had initially purchased this property as her primary residence in September 2015 for $1,090,000. The 37% appreciation over 2 years is beyond the average for most Downtown condos in this price range, however; the building Shangri-la has become extra desirable with nearby high-rises including the Trump Tower with similar units now selling at $1700 - $2500/sq.ft. Shangri-la has always been popular for its location, 61-storey height, views for the upper units, modern styling, and being connected to an international destination hotel.
