In real estate, there are moments when a property genuinely breaks the mold—when it refuses to be boxed into a single category and instead creates a new lane entirely. This is one of those moments. We’re excited to share that this exceptional Pemberton property has officially been approved for dual exposure, meaning it can be marketed and sold as both residential and commercial. And honestly? That approval simply confirms what was already obvious: this property is truly both.Set in the heart of Pemberton’s rapidly expanding Industrial Park, this brand-new, industrial-chic, New York–style loft delivers a rare and highly desirable live/work configuration that checks all the boxes for lifestyle buyers, entrepreneurs, creatives, and savvy investors alike. With 1,393 sq ft of premium commercial space on the ground level and 1,393 sq ft of residential living above, this is not a compromise—it’s a perfectly balanced, purpose-built solution for modern living and business.In a market where flexibility, diversification, and long-term value matter more than ever, dual-use properties like this are becoming increasingly rare—and increasingly powerful.

What Dual Exposure Really Means (and Why It Matters)
From an investment standpoint, this flexibility is gold. It means:- More visibility across multiple listing categories
- Stronger resale potential
- Long-term adaptability as market conditions evolve
A Location That’s Doing the Heavy Lifting
Pemberton’s Industrial Park has quietly become one of the Sea to Sky corridor’s most dynamic commercial hubs. This vibrant new development has space to home to 24 businesses, supported by over 100 shared parking spaces.For business owners, the location provides easy access for staff, suppliers, and customers—without the congestion and premium pricing of larger urban centres. For residents, it means skipping the Function Junction commute entirely and integrating work and life in a way that actually makes sense.And from an investment lens, this matters. Industrial and mixed-use spaces in growth corridors like Pemberton are increasingly sought after, driven by:- Population growth in the Sea to Sky region
- Rising demand for local services and businesses
- Limited supply of new, design-forward commercial inventory
Ground Level: Commercial Space Designed to Perform
The commercial component of this property is anything but an afterthought. With 1,393 sq ft of ground-floor space, it has been purpose-built for versatility and durability, making it suitable for a wide range of uses—from trades and light industrial to creative studios, retail showrooms, or secure storage and leasing opportunities.Key features include:- In-slab heating for year-round comfort and efficiency
- Premium rolling garage door for easy loading, unloading, and access
- Dual exterior access points, offering operational flexibility
- A full bathroom, eliminating the need for shared facilities
Upstairs: Industrial-Chic Living with a View
Above the commercial space, the residential loft delivers a lifestyle that feels straight out of a converted Manhattan warehouse—only with mountain views and fresh alpine air.This 1,393 sq ft loft-style residence offers a flexible 2-3 bedroom layout, including the option for a dedicated home office. Thoughtfully designed with both aesthetics and functionality in mind, the space features:- Polished concrete floors
- Over-height ceilings
- Expansive windows flooding the home with natural light
- Two full bathrooms
- A seamless open-concept living and dining area
A Rooftop Patio That Steals the Show
Private, elevated, and completely unobstructed, the rooftop patio offers stunning Mount Currie views that are nothing short of spectacular. This outdoor space transforms the property from practical to exceptional.Morning coffee at sunrise. Evening drinks at sunset. A quiet reset between meetings. This patio isn’t just an add-on—it’s a lifestyle anchor that elevates the entire live/work experience.For residential tenants or owner-occupiers, it’s a rare luxury. For investors, it’s a standout feature that drives desirability and rental appeal.Why This Is a Smart Investment
From an investment perspective, this property hits multiple high-performing categories at once:1. Mixed-Use Demand
Live/work properties continue to grow in popularity as business owners look for efficiency, flexibility, and cost savings. This property answers that demand without compromise.2. Income Diversification
With separate residential and commercial components, owners can:- Occupy one and lease the other
- Lease both for dual income streams
- Adapt usage over time as needs change
3. Exceptional Value
At just $466 per square foot, this offering represents outstanding value for brand-new, design-forward construction in a high-growth Sea to Sky market. Comparable new builds—especially with this level of flexibility—are increasingly difficult to find at this price point.4. Limited Supply
New mixed-use inventory in Pemberton is limited. Scarcity supports value.5. Long-Term Growth Potential
As Pemberton continues to expand and attract new residents, businesses, and investors, well-located commercial and mixed-use properties are positioned to benefit disproportionately.Lifestyle Meets Logic
Beyond the numbers, there’s something undeniably compelling about owning a property that supports both how you live and how you work. No commute. No separation between business success and personal time. Just a thoughtfully designed environment that allows both to thrive.For creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals who value efficiency and inspiration, this loft offers a daily experience that traditional residential or commercial properties simply can’t match.Final Thoughts
