check your local ordinance as here it is 1.5 parking spaces per unit, also check the lease agreement if it does not clearly state 2 spot allowance then they arent entitled to it , so youll just want to negotiate that, but try and have the current owner do that as they already have a preexisting relationship and if you are moving in, the last thing you want is angry tenants next to you

And because they have dispensed with HVAC (some will have a single ductless mini-split), there is more usable floor and wall space - no vents, no radiators, no baseboards.

I know there is the one BP guy who states it is surrounded by gov lands and that limits supply but within that space there is still much room to go.

The rates and terms are much better in the residential space.  

The basement layout is awkward, has a bunch of wasted space and could be changed to make 2 bedrooms. 

Most of these buildings have no less than 3,000 sqft retail space, and many have basements for storage.  

Oh, and actual lastly, I've seen some nice-looking modern container-to-habitable structure conversions, and I've seen some fugly ones.  

I know if someone came to me with a 3.7M property I would not know where to start so I would grab an agent familiar with that range (Because it is out of my knowledge base) and co-list it.Another option is to ask her to refer you to an agent who works in that space.

Modern builds is my favorite, but Shanty 2 Chic is the most applicable. 1.

You can split them to multiple buildable lots3) They've all been combined, because you need that much space for a single buildable lot.
