A Vancouver sub penthouse currently listed for sale has seen some interesting activity over the last year, including a massive price drop.
Suite 2900 at 1139 West Cordova Street is currently listed for $12,250,000, but looking at the listing in April of last year tells a completely different story.
In April 2023, the suite was listed for $26,500,000, and through several re-listings over the year, it dropped by $14,250,000.
The current asking price is well under the assessed value of $13,568,000. It reached its peak assessed value in 2019, when it was assessed at $18,053,000. According to BC Assessment, it’s still one of the top 500 most valuable properties in the province.
Virani Real Estate’s initial listing at $26,500,000 in April 2023 was terminated in July of the same year. It was listed again in July for $22,888,000 before that listing was terminated as well.
Angell, Hasman and Associates took over and listed it for $15,880,000 in January 2024. That listing was terminated in March 2024. Macdonald Realty listed it for $14,988,000 in March of this year, and that listing was terminated at $13,526,700 in May, until the most recent listing from Prompton Real Estate.
While there aren’t many pictures of the suite itself, the listing suggests quite a sizeable space, with 5,420 sq ft on offer.

“The four-stall private garage includes ample storage [and] is ideal for your luxury vehicles,” the listing states.
One real estate social media analyst thought the listing history represented desperation.
Someone getting desperate?
Over $14 MILLION in reductions in a year.

What do you make of the extremely high initial asking price and subsequent drop?
