PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CASE STUDY 2 – SOUTH GRANVILLE CENTRE PROPERTY 2600 Granville Street, Vancouver British Columbia DESCRIPTION This property is a mixed use office/retail building comprising one city block between 10th and 11th Avenue in Vancouver’s prestigious South Granville District. HISTORY The building on site was built in 2 phases between 1963 and 1980. MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE The anchor office tenant had given notice to vacate and the office entrance was in an awkward location at the corner of the property. As well, the exterior façade of the building and canopy treatment did not capitalize on the prestige of the South Granville location and dominance of the property. SOLUTION Undertake a substantial renovation to locate the office lobby to Granville Street. Create a 15,000 square foot corner retail opportunity, and provide a new upgrade, façade, canopy and signage package. The property is now anchored by the giant US home furnishing retailer, The Pottery Barn, along with a 5,000 square foot Eveline Charles Salon & Spa making South Granville Centre a landmark retail destination. |
