There are three rental units at 700 Vernon Drive, all of which are currently tenanted. One of the apartments is a two-bedroom, and the other two are one-bedrooms.

“Location is everything,” the listing boasts, noting that the corner property is at the “hub between hip Strathcona and emerging Clark Drive.”

The Union-Adanac Corridor bike path is nearby, and downtown Vancouver is only a five minute drive away. The new St. Paul’s Hospital development isn’t far off either.

“Many opportunities with [this] unique property,” the listing reads.
