An Investment That Works From Day One
With $360,450 in projected annual net income opportunity, this asset can deliver solid cash flow alongside long-term land value appreciation.

Market Analysis
Scarce Supply, Surging Demand: Vancouver Island Industrial Market
Industrial land on Vancouver Island is a rapidly diminishing asset. Driven by insatiable demand from Lower Mainland operators seeking logistical advantages, vacancy rates have plummeted, creating an intensely competitive market and driving valuations higher.
The chart illustrates the sharp decline in industrial vacancy rates on Vancouver Island. This persistent supply shortage, coupled with increasing relocation interest from Metro Vancouver, positions premium industrial properties like 766 Maughan Road for significant capital appreciation and sustained tenant demand.
