A downtown Vancouver condo that saw attention on social media due to some interesting design choices recently sold.
Located at 1568 Alberni Street, the condo was assessed at $2,765,000 but sold for almost $1 million below that.
The most recent listing, which went up earlier this year in July, had an asking price of $1,990,000. However, that number doesn’t tell the whole story.
This property was first listed in September 2023 for $2,700,000. It was cancelled that December before being listed again the following March for $2,699,000. That listing was terminated in April 2024 and listed again the same month for $2,880,000. That listing didn’t attract a buyer and was terminated in July.
It was relisted the same day for $1,990,000 and sold for $1,800,000 after 137 days on the market. In 2023, it originally closed for $2.6 million, representing a nearly $1 million loss.

Daily Hive Urbanized published a story about the property when the July listing went up. In that story, we cited the attention the property was getting on social media because of how the living room and kitchen were set up.

Aside from the unique layout of the living room and kitchen, which some have had strong opinions about, the rest of the condo is quite nice. The bathrooms are particularly eye-catching.
