The Downtown Vancouver Melville Penthouse Suite is For Sale

Amacon is asking for $10.8 million for this special ‘niche’ in the sky at the Melville Penthouse condominium in downtown Vancouver real estate market. The Penthouse is located atop the Melville tower residences. Veteran real estate broker Grace K’s latest commission is a new build downtown Vancouver Melville penthouse suite of 5,700 square feet for which her client is asking $10.8 million. This spectacular Melville Vancouver penthouse suite is located at the 43rd floor of the Melville condo residential tower, from the Amacon development company. If the asking price is the highest Grace has listed in her almost 30 years of selling local Vancouver real estate, she isn’t saying (The Bard never said discretion is the better part of the luxury home salesmanship, but he should have.) Grace has no doubt it will sell, of course, and she thinks she knows who the eventual buyer will be for the spectacular Melville Vancouver penthouse suite, not by name, but by type. “In good or bad times there are always buyers and sellers,” she said in an interview. “Opulent properties have their own niche market. These properties are rare and not always available at the right time. We feel this Melville Penthouse condominium will be home to a well travelled person, or couple, who appreciate good location, view and value.” What is the Melville Penthouse wows her – even after selling highrise and view homes for years, including every home below the penthouse? It’s the ‘home office,’ she said. ‘There’s a special room for him or her, besides the master bedroom, a special office conducting their international business, with a direct view to a solarium where they can enjoy the collectibles from their travels.

Hastings Street Condos by Concord Pacific

Activists want more consultation about this newly proposed Concord Pacific Vancouver real estate development according to 24 Hours newspaper: Downtown Eastside community groups are accusing the City of Vancouver of trying to rubber stamp a proposal for a new Vancouver pre-sales condo development on Hastings Street by “sneaking” it past advocates. They say they weren’t notified of a real estate Vancouver development board hearing into 58 West Hastings, property owned by Concord Pacific and slated to be built out into a seven storey condominium building. “It’s a huge condo project,” said Carnegie Community Action Project organizer Wnedy Pederson. “There’s absolutely no social housing. They’re not contributing to the community at that site.” The Vancouver city has since scratched discussion of the Concord Pacific Hastings Street condo site from its pre-sales development board panel meeting yesterday. The community groups, meanwhile, say they’ve received a letter of apology form the city promising future consultations. But Pederson still worries the pre-sales Vancouver Hastings Street condos by Concord Pacific will open a floodgate of real estate development in the neighbourhood. “We’ll end of with more homeless people on the streets. That’s it in a nutshell,” Pederston said. By Irwin fo 24 Hours. More to come.
