Twelve-unit residential walk-up in downtown Fort St. John, BC — retrofitted, fully leased, and offered as a turnkey income asset in the most active oil and gas service centre in Western Canada. Listed at $1,249,800 ($104,150 per unit) on a 6.73% cap rate at stabilised pro forma.
THE BUILDING. A unit-by-unit retrofit has been completed and documented — scope, spend, and improvements all on file. What a buyer takes over is a building that has already been repositioned, with a defensible rent roll, full lease history, and capital schedule in place. Nothing deferred. Nothing pending.
ALWAYS FULL. The building runs at 100% occupancy because of where it sits — Walk Score 91, downtown core, on the south side of 97 Avenue, walkable to work, services, and transit. In a city of 24,676 where the median household earns $150,887 per year and the renter share is 43.5%, this is the address tenants want. And they stay.
TROUBLE-FREE FINANCING. The asset qualifies for CMHC-insured financing under the MLI Select program. At 85% LTV, illustrative Year-One cash-on-cash is 7.10%, DSCR 1.22×, and the 10-year levered IRR runs to 22.4% on a conservative rent-growth schedule. Equity in: approximately $210,000. Stabilised income, insured debt, and a city the major Canadian banks already underwrite confidently — trouble-free in the most literal sense.
A BOOMING LNG TOWN. Fort St. John sits at the labour and logistics centre of British Columbia's $90 billion+ Northeast capital pipeline through 2035 — LNG Canada Phase 2 (FID expected late 2026), Enbridge Sunrise Expansion (federally approved April 2026), Cedar LNG, Coastal GasLink Phase 2, PRGT, Ksi Lisims, the North Coast Transmission Line, and a sustained Montney drilling program led by Tourmaline, ARC Resources, Ovintiv and Canadian Natural. CMHC apartment vacancy compressed from 6.3% (2024) to 2.4% (2025). Average rents are up 4.6% year over year. Only seven net new rental units were added to local stock in 2025.
