WHY WE LIKE THIS PROPERTY

About Neightbourhood

The first rule of real estate investment is Location Location Location — and that applies regardless of whether you’re planning to live or invest in the home. Much of what makes The Trout Lake House a great investment opportunity is its highly desirable location in one of Vancouver’s most vibrant, livable communities — close to transit (an 11 minute walk to the Commercial-Broadway Skytrain station), a brand-new community centre, great restaurants and excellent coffee. Most importantly, this property’s location makes it something rare: it’s one of only 79 homes that back onto Trout Lake. There will never be more Trout Lake lots, meaning the land itself is increasingly valuable by virtue of the fact that it’s in such short supply.

FAQ

How will shareholders be paid?

At the end of development, your shares will be redeemed in exchange for a pro-Rata payout of your share value. Prior to development, this property will be rented out, and shareholders will receive a portion of the rental income (minus property taxes, and insurance)

What is special about this opportunity?

What’s exciting about this property is not so much the house that’s currently on it, but rather the significant potential for future development. This property qualifies for the City of Vancouver’s Character Retention Program, which means as long we retain the house’s character, we can make renovations that increase our Floor Space Ratio (FSR) from its current 55% to 85+%.

What our members are saying

“It was an easy way to invest some funds in real estate that I would normally not be able to afford on my own. It’s great to be part of something that is creating a new way of investing.”

Klaus / Toronto, ON

“My wife and I are excited to have discovered addy, and invested in a Starbucks location nearby — it’s nice to be able to participate in owning commercial real estate without putting up a bunch of money, and knowing we can drive by it anytime makes it more fun than buying stocks!” 

Shawn / Nanaimo, BC

“This is God sent, if you ask me. A chance to own a slice of commercial properties all over the country. An opportunity I otherwise wouldn’t have had had it not been for addy. I can’t thank addy enough. I eagerly await for addys to drop and with each investment, I know I’m actively improving my financial future.”

Most importantly, the addy discord provides a great platform for a diverse community to discuss ideas as it relates to real estate and other financial related topics. I have already learned a lot from the conversations and discussions from the Discord to make better informed investing decisions for my future”

$Cameron / Abbotsford, BC
