US Consulate Secures 2010 Office Space

In anticipation of the surging consular needs of the American deligations, spectators, and non-accredited media persons during Vancouver 2010, the US Consulate has secured a lease at 1133 Melville in the Downtown Core, just around the corner from their permanent space on Pender Street West of Thurlow and closeby to the media centre which will be housed in the new Vancouver Convention Centre expansion.

The space is an entire floor, something hard-to-find, when the Vancouver vacancy rate is currently sitting anywhere between 1.7 and 2.06 percent, depending on who's counting. The space is larger than what's required but was apparently secured at a good price.

The lease in question will expire in June 2010, about the time that the building's owner, Amacon, plans to demolish it.
