As of July 1, 2024, Assessment BC had the mall Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥“ buildings and property Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥“ valued at $28,489,000.
The buyer, a private investor, was represented by Group Ltd.
The seller, Manulife Investment Management, took ownership of the 48-year-old mall when it acquired its former owner, Standard Life, in 2015. The latter company purchased the mall in 2013 from Salmon Arm's , who bought the mall with former partner Colin Mayes in 1991.
Marketing of the mall was handled by real estate firms Marcus & Millichap and Cushman & Wakefield. Asked about the turnaround, Marcus & Millichap senior managing director Jon Buckley said there's a lot of interest in retail property right now.
"Income-producing products are transacting well right now, of all the asset classes retail is preferred," said Buckley. "That's been a trend that I'd say has been in place for 12-18 months."
In a post shared via social media, Buckley said the sale generated strong interest from a broad range of investors, and resulted in multiple competitive bids.
