Pacific Villa Apartments presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a fully leased 12-suite multifamily asset in the heart of Esquimalt, just minutes from downtown Victoria. With a strong suite mix dominated by large two-bedroom plus den units (67.7%), the property is designed to maximize rental revenue and attract long-term tenants. Four of the twelve suites have been fully renovated, each with approximately $30,000 in upgrades, supporting a proven value-add strategy with over 32% rental upside potential.
The building has undergone significant capital improvements, including a newer roof, double-glazed vinyl windows, updated balconies, and a one-year-old gas-fired boiler and hot water tank. These upgrades minimize future capital expenditures and enhance tenant comfort. Radiant hot water heating and 14 surface parking stalls (12 tenant, 2 visitor) further support operational efficiency. Strategically located on Admirals Road between Esquimalt Road and Colville Road, the property benefits from direct transit access and proximity to key amenities such as Red Barn Grocery, Esquimalt Plaza, the Recreation Centre, and the newly developed Esquimalt Town Square. The building is also across from CFB Esquimalt, the township’s largest employer, which anchors the local economy with over 6,000 personnel. Esquimalt’s rental market fundamentals are exceptionally strong, with a 1.5% vacancy rate and rents rising over 6.4% year-over-year. The area offers slightly more affordable rents than Victoria, attracting renters from the capital’s higher-priced market. With a projected population increase and rising household incomes, Pacific Villa Apartments is well-positioned to deliver stable cash flow and long-term growth.
