Duchess & Esquimalt represents a rare multi-family development opportunity in West Vancouver, comprising two adjacent parcels at 693 Duchess Avenue and 694 Esquimalt Avenue. The 0.5-acre site offers significant value-add potential, exceptional street frontage, and proximity to major transportation routes and amenities. Currently improved with two single-family homes, the property sits within the Taylor Way Local Area Plan study area, where the District may consider rezoning to low- to mid-density multi-family residential. Its location near Park Royal Shopping Centre, Lions Gate Bridge, and an amenity-rich neighbourhood makes it an attractive candidate for redevelopment and potential land assembly with neighbouring parcels.
The site is strategically positioned just steps from Park Royal Shopping Centre, with convenient access to Taylor Way bus routes and a short drive to Downtown Vancouver via Lions Gate Bridge. The surrounding area features high-quality retail, restaurants, parks, and recreation, including Ambleside Park and Stanley Park. Offering 220 feet of frontage along Taylor Way and 100 feet along both Duchess Avenue and Esquimalt Avenue, the property benefits from high visibility and strong connectivity. The neighbourhood’s strong demographics, low rental vacancy, and significant population growth forecasts contribute to the area’s robust market fundamentals.
