INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

EXCEPTIONAL PHYSICAL BUILDING FEATURES

Originally purpose-built for Thunderbird Electric in approximately 1979, the majority of the building features concrete block and steel construction with the exception of the rear 18’-clear warehouse, which is constructed with wood framing. The front ~4,000 SF single-storey section of the building offers potential retail showroom and warehouse space with 12’ clear heights. The middle section of the building offers additional warehousing on the main floor, with a second storey featuring office space, a kitchenette, a washroom with shower, and connection to the rear warehouse mezzanine. The rear warehouse features ~1,300 SF with 18’ clear heights, a dedicated overhead door and mezzanine space. All three of the building’s overhead doors are approximately 9 ft. x 9 ft. The rubber EPDM roof is insulated and these roofs are known to have life expectancies of 40 to 50 years when well maintained. The building further features two 95% efficiency gas-fired furnaces, three LG Inverter air conditioning units, and 400 amps single phase power. The Property’s parking area which was recently repaved at a cost of ~$90,000 offers parking for an estimated 28 vehicles, with additional parking along the highway for an approximately 6 vehicles

PARTITIONING POTENTIAL INTO MULTIPLE TENANT SUITES

The building’s previous occupant made use of the entire building as a single user, however there is potential to partition the space into approximately three units with varying configurations, including at least one pedestrian door and overhead door per unit, as well as plumbing for sinks. The building’s 400A power service also has three meter bases already added to the utility room for separate unit metering, while gas may also be separately metered. The below floor plan shows one potential configuration, with common area bathrooms accessible by all units. In this scenario, Floor 2 would be dedicated to Unit 3.


Location Overview

With immediate access and exposure to Highway 6, the Property offers convenient regional connectivity throughout the BC Interior and to the U.S. border (~1 hr.). Nelson represents the commercial hub of the Kootenays, given its central location between Vancouver, BC (west), Calgary, AB (east), and Spokane, WA (south), and its access to several regional airports, including the West Kootenay Regional Airport (WKRA) (~30 mins). Local businesses in the Kootenay Region benefit from a total trade area of nearly 70,000 people, and a thriving tourism industry that in 2019 saw ~550,000 visitors spend over $600 million.
