Locations Overview Two strategically positioned commercial properties in one of Canada's most dynamic urban markets: Metro Vancouver, British Columbia. Property 1. Urban Industrial-Commercial Corridor | Vancouver Located along one of Metro Vancouver's most heavily trafficked commercial arterials, this freestanding building sits within a rapidly transforming mixed-use employment corridor in close proximity to the downtown core. The neighbourhood is undergoing significant densification, with major mixed-use residential and commercial projects from leading regional developers actively under construction and recently completed in the immediate vicinity. The site offers M-1 zoning with considerable development optionality, high street exposure, and strong holding income. Proximity to major highway access points, two Class 1 rail lines, and Port Metro Vancouver, the fourth largest port in North America, makes this location a compelling hold or redevelopment asset. The area is well-recognized by institutional and value-add investors as a transitional zone with significant upside. Key locational attributes: East Vancouver employment corridor | M-1 industrial zoning | High-traffic arterial | Downtown-adjacent | Active redevelopment zone | Infrastructure-connected | Clean Phase Enviro Report just completed. Property 2. Urban Village Node | Vancouver Situated in an established, high-amenity neighbourhood in Vancouver's, this ground-floor commercial strata retail unit occupies a mixed-use building steps from a vibrant waterfront district, boutique retail corridors, and key arterial routes connecting to downtown. The area is characterized by a highly educated, affluent residential catchment, consistent pedestrian traffic, and proximity to a world-renowned public market destination that draws locals and tourists alike. Accessible by multiple transit routes and located between two of Vancouver's landmark bridges, this location benefits from exceptional visibility and a loyal, repeat-customer demographic. The neighbourhood has experienced sustained demand for specialized, experiential retail and professional services, with low vacancy and strong owner-user appeal. Key locational attributes: Vancouver | Walkable urban node | Strong transit connectivity | Affluent residential catchment | Tourism-adjacent | Established mixed-use corridor Metro Vancouver Market Context Both properties are located within the City of Vancouver - the commercial, cultural, and financial hub of Metro Vancouver, Canada's third-largest metropolitan area with a population exceeding 2.8 million. Vancouver consistently ranks among the top global cities for quality of life, foreign direct investment, and real estate capital appreciation. The city's constrained land base, geographic barriers to expansion, and chronic supply shortage continue to underpin values across all asset classes. For investors and owner-operators seeking a rare combined business and real estate acquisition in one of North America's most supply-constrained markets, this offering represents an exceptional and irreplaceable opportunity. Confidentiality Notice: Specific addresses, tenant names, and business identifiers are withheld pending NCNDA execution and process approval. Qualified parties are invited to register interest through Steve Da Cruz. The Offering Opportunity to acquire a legacy business with well-placed real estate, offered as a combined package in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia. This is a confidential sale of a highly regarded, multi-decade operating business with an exceptional brand reputation and deeply loyal customer base, offered together with two owned commercial properties in strategic Vancouver locations. The combined offering presents a compelling entry point for strategic acquirers, family offices, and owner-operators seeking both a proven cash-flowing enterprise and significant real estate optionality in one of North America's most supply-constrained urban markets. The business has been owner-operated for over three decades, establishing itself as a category leader within its niche, recognized locally, nationally, and internationally for product quality, expertise, and customer experience. It carries strong brand equity, repeat-purchase dynamics, and multiple revenue streams. The real estate assets underpin the transaction with tangible asset value, providing a hard-asset floor independent of business performance. Founders are retirement-motivated and the business is structured for a clean, well-supported ownership transition. Outlier Performance The business outperforms 90%+ of its peer group. Benchmarked against 727 BC specialty food retailers (NAICS 44529, StatsCan 2024): current ratio 5.84x vs. 1.20x sector average, AR collection at 2.8 days vs. 8.2 days industry, near-zero debt against a sector norm of 1.0x debt ratio, and $4.3M in revenue held flat across four consecutive fiscal years through two rate cycles. This is not a Main Street business; it's a top-decile operator that has been quietly running at institutional quality for decades. Deal Structure The offering accommodates a variety of acquirer profiles and will be structured as a share sale. Vendor financing (VTB) or Earnout provisions wil not be considered. Real estate may be acquired together with the business or structured as a sale-leaseback to optimize capital deployment. Ideal Acquirer Profile This opportunity is well-suited to a strategic or sector operator seeking brand acquisition, category expansion, or vertical integration. Family offices and private investors will find an attractive growth-ready asset combining stable operating income with hard real estate backing. Owner-operators and management buyout candidates will appreciate a turnkey business with genuine lifestyle and legacy appeal.
