LOCATION
DAYTIME POPULATION
The Azzuro is located at 1950 Blanshard Street, between Caledonia and Discovery streets. The building provides top end exposure on Victoria’s busiest thoroughfare. The building entrance can accessed one block west, via Discovery street, with loading directly in front of the building, and parking is underground or on the street. Directly opposite the site is the Save On Foods arena where any major concert, or sports event takes place. Royal Athletic Park, Hudson Market, and Crystal Pool are all a short walk. Current neighboring businesses are industrial and commercial service, and there is a lack of resident friendly amenities in the area, creating a huge opportunity for commercial tenants located at 1950 Blanshard.

OPPORTUNITY The Azzuro is the “gateway” to the downtown core. This area is gentrifying quickly, as commercial and residential development sites become increasingly unavailable in Victoria’s centre, south of this site. There are 1200 residential rental units being built in the immediate vicinity, and with residential vacancy being less than 1% these units will be fully occupied. There are a lack of amenities to serve the tenants in these new buildings, and very little inventory of commercial space on the market, making the quality commercial space at the Azzuro a great opportunity for operators to get in and serve this growing community. In addition to residential tenants in the area there will be hundreds of employees new to downtown at the offices of BCIMC at 1515 Douglas, as well as employees of other commercial tenants in that building.
