(200 block E. Hastings – 200 Block W. Hastings).

Building Opportunities with Business (“BOB”)  is working with the City of Vancouver to implement their “Vacant Storefront Facade Program“.

Simply put, the City of Vancouver will – for approved projects – pay for improvements to a building’s facade up to an amount of $50,000 per building.  We have already identified the buildings with vacant street level storefronts in them in both Chinatown and along the Hastings Street Corridor and, in many cases, have the building owner waiting for us to find them a prospective tenant!

The benefit to you, as the potential tenant, is that we would use the facade grant as leverage to negotiate longer term leases, leasehold improvements, less expensive lease rates, etc.

For more information please email Randy at bds@bobics.org.  and leave him a phone number where you can be reached during the day
