Located in the heart of the Saanich peninsula on Vancouver Island, BC, Broadmead Village features an array of specialty shops and nationally branded stores and services. Its tenant mix is well-insulated from economic downturns with low historical turnover, vacancy, and strong performance. Not only is Thrifty Foods’ Broadmead Village location one of the top performing stores in the Sobey’s chain, this highly-desirable asset class is a continued investment focus for Grosvenor’s Canadian portfolio going forward.
