2886 4th Avenue is a brand-new, mixed-use commercial development located at the high-visibility corner of 4th Avenue and Mar Street in Port Alberni.

Thoughtfully designed to activate the streetscape and serve the surrounding neighbourhood, this five-storey project will deliver 4,164 sq ft of flexible ground-floor commercial space beneath 40 modern affordable housing units, creating a vibrant and well-supported community hub.

Set for completion in July 2027, the building features premium west coast-inspired architecture, highlighted by a brick base, aluminum storefront glazing, phenolic woodgrain cladding, and a striking corner design element that anchors the intersection. Continuous street frontage and prominent glazing ensure excellent natural light, strong visibility, and an engaging pedestrian experience.

With limited new commercial construction in the Alberni Valley and increasing demand for community-serving retail and service uses, 2886 4th Avenue represents a unique opportunity to secure brand-new commercial space in a strengthening market.
