THE OPPORTUNITY
Wesley Square is a commercial and office complex which defines Wesley Street in the Old City Quarter of
Nanaimo. The complex provides much of the retail and office space located along this one-block commercial
street.

pedestrian nature of the entire area. The design of Wesley Square increases both the profile of the building and
access to the property. The plaza also provides an opportunity to expand amenities and services with outdoor
protected areas.
Wesley Square is a fully-commercial complex. Multiple accesses and two-storey loft units create a variety of lease areas with unique frontage and interiors. The design provides increased tenant opportunities while making this one of the most prominent buildings in the Old City Quarter.
The central location is within walking distance to downtown, the seawall, restaurants, shopping, the convention centre and seaplane connections to Vancouver and Richmond.
