Avison Young has announced that Shell Mountainside Lodge, situated in the renowned resort town of Whistler, B.C., is now available for purchase. The sale marks the first hotel transaction opportunity in Whistler since 2016.
“This is truly a rare opportunity to own in the heart of the Whistler Village, steps away from Whistler Blackcomb, North America’s largest ski resort,” says Curtis Gallagher, principal, vice-president, and Canadian hospitality lead at Avison Young. “A potential owner will recognize the immediate investment opportunities, with significant revenue potential in such a vibrant, thriving setting that attracts tourists from around the world year-round.”
The Shell Mountainside Lodge is located at 4417 Sundial Place, only a three-minute walk from the Whistler Village Gondola. It consists of 42 units (56 of 93 strata lots), offering a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom accommodations. The property currently operates as a timeshare and features premium shared amenities, including an outdoor pool and hot tub, underground parking, storage areas for skis, snowboards, and bicycles, a fitness centre, and laundry facilities. Zoned for tourist accommodation, the site allows for future development up to eight storeys.
Whistler Village is internationally recognized for its alpine appeal, located two hours north of Vancouver. Home to Whistler Blackcomb, the resort offers over 8,000 acres of skiable terrain. In warmer months, visitors enjoy mountain biking, hiking, golfing, and various lake activities. The pedestrian-friendly village boasts European-style charm with diverse shopping, dining, nightlife, and year-round festivals such as the Crankworks Mountain Bike Festival and the Whistler Film Festival.
Avison Young has been retained by BDO Canada Limited to manage the sale through a court-ordered sale and investment solicitation process (SISP).
“We are honoured to manage this sales process for BDO Canada Limited to secure the best buyer possible for this rare opportunity in one of the most incredible hospitality markets Canada has to offer,” says Bijan Lalji, senior associate with Avison Young’s Capital Markets Group. “We encourage investors to bring strong offers forward by March 25, 2025 if they’d like to be a part of this highly desirable tourism landscape in Whistler.”
The sale process will unfold in two phases:
The final closing date for the sale is scheduled for May 29, 2025.
MARCH 2025 UPDATE FOR CLARIFICATION
On February 24, 2025, Avison Young issued a news release on behalf of its client, advising that Shell Mountainside Lodge in Whistler, British Columbia, is available for purchase and this marked “the first time a hotel has transacted since 2016.”
Subsequently, various media outlets published articles referring to a hotel available for purchase in Whistler through a court-ordered sale and investment solicitation process (“SISP”).
This news release serves to clarify that no hotel is available for sale as Shell Mountainside Lodge currently operates as a timeshare resort consisting of 42-units (56 of 93 strata lots) located at 4417 Sundial Place.

The SISP solely involves the 56 strata lots owned by SVC-Mountainside ULC and Shell Owners Association – Pacific. The SISP does not involve any other strata lots or operations, including those of Executive Mountainside Hotel Whistler.
