Property Description
Extremely rare opportunity to own a well-maintained church building in a fantastic location! A remarkable value, this 5,400+ square foot, fully-accessible gem sits on over half an acre of valuable inner-city land - and presents a vast array of opportunities. As a church, it's an ideal and vibrant hub for a community of faith, PLUS it offers some remarkable expansion possibilities. Sitting on over 22,000 square feet of prime land along a major transit route, the exposure and the access is incredible. There is over 63,000 sq.m of public space literally across the street, including schools, play areas AND the local community centre – plus Chinook mall is less than a kilometre and a half away, and the City core is just 6km north.
RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS – Have you been searching for your own building with potential room for long-term expansion and growth? THIS IS IT! With ground floor entry PLUS a second floor that is also effectively at-grade due the slope, the design of the building and its placement on the land makes for remarkable flexibility (plus presents the possibility to add a significant amount of additional worship space).
When looking at the building itself, this efficiently designed (and remarkably functional) building was constructed, and has been owned by Fairview Baptist Church since 1961. Perfect for a growing congregation, the building boasts FULL CONCRETE FLOORS on BOTH floor levels, plus offers every space you need without excess. The large sanctuary provides gathering space with current seating configured for over 210 people, while still having a surprisingly large area for the altar, the organ, and a choir (or musicians) - PLUS there's even a walk-in full-submersion baptismal font! The fellowship hall below adds an impressive amount of additional space for gatherings and social events, while rest of the lower level provides for a large nursery, a second meeting room or office, the men's and women's bathrooms and even a full kitchen – complete with serving access into the hall area. A library and meeting room upstairs makes for an excellent administration area, plus ample storage areas are located around the building - ensuring that there is space for everything from tables and chairs, to seasonal adornments. The recent addition in 2017 provided a wheelchair ramp, an accessible washroom and an elevator (lift) making the building fully inclusive for all age groups and all mobility needs, and the electrical throughout the building has been upgraded with a new electrical panel to meet more current standards.
This is a rare, turn-key religious assembly building in excellent repair - and is move-in ready for a growing congregation. Don't miss your chance to own a valuable asset that offers long-term stability and growth potential, there are not many opportunities like this! NOTE: Total building area/measurements are not BOMA. Also the closing date has some flexibility to move earlier - dependent on the terms of the purchase offer.
