as far north as it gets — and still sold
- 26-unit apartment building in Fort Nelson
- sold through reach, strategy, and persistence
listing
description
Aurora Manor was never going to be an easy deal. With 26 units in the far north of British Columbia — in a town most buyers have never heard of, let alone visited — this was one of the most remote investment sales in the province. But the Vancouver-based seller trusted me, and I delivered.
Located in Fort Nelson, this three-storey walk-up was a well-maintained, stabilized building with a history of upgrades and consistent income. Built in 1980 on a concrete foundation with wood-frame construction, the building had seen significant capital improvements during the seller’s tenure — including nearly full interior renovations across most suites, upgraded finishes, appliances, and window coverings. The roof had been replaced approximately ten years earlier, and the exterior had been updated with fresh siding and maintenance.
But none of that changed the reality: selling a 26-unit rental building 1,600 km from Vancouver takes more than a listing. It takes strategy, outreach, and real reach.
I built a marketing campaign targeted to yield-driven buyers and private operators with experience in northern communities. I screened buyers carefully, answered every question directly, and made sure each prospect understood the asset’s stability, condition, and upside. There’s no room for smoke and mirrors in Fort Nelson — just a clean deal, and the right person to get it done.
I sold this in Fort Nelson. I can sell your site, wherever it is.

context
Located in Fort Nelson’s core residential area, Aurora Manor is zoned for multifamily use and sits on three legal lots totaling 33,600 SF. With limited competition and low supply, rental demand remains steady from regional workers and families.
buyer
appeal
At a price per unit under $31,000, this was one of the lowest-cost multifamily assets in the province — with significant recent upgrades and no major deferred maintenance. But what sealed the deal wasn’t price — it was clarity. I presented the building for what it was, showed how it performed, and made sure the buyer knew what they were getting. And that’s exactly why it closed.
Remote location, clean execution

One of the lowest price-per-unit deals in B.C.
