4511 50 Avenue | Downtown Commercial Opportunity

Over 10,000 sq. ft. of commercial space fronting Franklin Avenue — vacant and available for quick possession.

An opportunity to acquire a substantial three-level commercial property in a highly visible downtown location. With approximately 3,403 sq. ft. per floor, this building offers more than 10,000 sq. ft. of usable space and the flexibility to accommodate an owner-user, multiple tenants, hospitality, entertainment, food service or a new commercial concept, subject to applicable approvals.

Currently vacant, the property offers quick possession, giving a new owner the opportunity to begin renovations, redevelopment or preparations for occupancy without waiting for existing tenants to vacate.

The building was constructed in 1978 with significant improvements completed in 2017–2019, including electrical upgrades, commercial steel doors and panic hardware, fire-rated ceilings, flooring, washroom renovations, lighting, air conditioning and commercial kitchen improvements.

The second floor features a fully fixtured commercial kitchen and former licensed 120-seat restaurant, complete with bar, walk-in cooler and freezer. Fixtures, furniture and equipment on the second floor are included in the sale.

The main floor offers a large open commercial space with bar area, dance floor, office and washrooms — providing an excellent footprint for a wide variety of potential uses.

The basement provides additional usable space, storage, two newer washrooms, mechanical area and a separate fire exit to grade.

Zoned DT – Downtown, allowing for a broad range of permitted and discretionary uses.

The property offers an opportunity for a purchaser to reposition, renovate and create value in a substantial downtown building rather than starting from the ground up.

The building has experienced a freeze-up resulting in damage to portions of the sprinkler system and will require repairs and investment. The property is being marketed with its current condition in mind and represents an opportunity for a purchaser prepared to undertake the necessary work.
