Hudson's Bay Building Hits Market For Redevelopment
CBRE Investment Management has listed the more than 600,000-square-foot, nine-level former Hudson's Bay flagship in downtown Vancouver for sale after the store closed in June following creditor protection. The listing notes a heritage-protected exterior with an adaptable interior and says any sale is subject to court approval. Experts warn buyers must fund seismic upgrades and balance retail, office, cultural, and possible residential uses.
