The following report is courtesy of The Globe and Mail, The Vancouver Sun:
Vancouver's most expensive condominium unit hit the market this week with an $18.2-million price tag. The penthouse apartment at 1000 Beach Ave. was sold for less than $3 million just three years ago. To be fair, Vancouver businessman Randy Bishop has spent several million dollars completing the property that was an empty shell when he bought it in 2004 for an estimated $7-million.
Situated downtown at the northeast corner of the Burrard Bridge, right on the Seawall, the property has never been lived in - former owners reportedly include Axl Rose, front man for rock group GUNS N' ROSES, and the Russian Rocket himself, Canucks star Pavel Bure.
The 26th-floor, two-level luxury unit includes a private elevator, an additional guest/nanny suite on a separate floor, a private four-car garage and two extra parking stalls, a boat slip at a marina, and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer 360-degree city views.
Other features in the 7,600 square feet unit include solid marble stairs, walnut walls, hand-carved doors, and a kitchen with Miele-brand appliances.
Sotheby International Realty realtor Ben Kielb, who is selling the property, said the building is 14 years old, but the condo unit is virtually brand new as a two-year renovation finished just last week.
