Ocean Promenade at 15611 Marine Drive: White Rock's Beachfront Investor Building
Few addresses in White Rock put you as close to the water as Ocean Promenade at 15611 Marine Drive. Sitting directly on White Rock Beach, this 42-unit lowrise was built in 2001 and operates under a model that sets it apart from most condo buildings in the city: it is designed for investors, with owners permitted six weeks of personal use per year. If you're weighing a Marine Drive purchase, here is what to know. View the full Ocean Promenade building page for current details and listings.
Building Overview
- Address: 15611 Marine Drive, White Rock
- Year built: 2001
- Total units: 42
- Type: Lowrise
- Ownership model: Investor-oriented, with six weeks of owner use per year
Inside the Suites
Each unit at Ocean Promenade comes with a feature list that is notable for a building of this age:
- Two fireplaces per unit, a rare touch that suits the cozy, off-season appeal of the waterfront
- 9-foot ceilings that open up the living space and let in more of the ocean light
- Granite countertops in the kitchen
- Air conditioning, increasingly valuable during the warmer summer stretches on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Who Ocean Promenade Is For
This is not a conventional owner-occupier building, and that is the point. With owners limited to six weeks of use annually, Ocean Promenade is positioned for buyers who want a beachfront asset in one of the Lower Mainland's most recognizable waterfront communities, rather than a full-time residence.
That structure can appeal to:
- Investors seeking exposure to White Rock's tourism-driven waterfront
- Second-property buyers who want a few weeks at the beach each year without the demands of full-time ownership
- Out-of-town buyers who value a managed, hotel-style setup close to the US border
If you plan to live in your purchase year-round, this is not the right fit, so confirm the usage terms before making an offer. Our team can help you review the details, and you can contact us with questions.

Nearby, the Crescent Beach / Ocean Park area averages about $2.44 million across 120 active listings, reflecting the premium buyers pay for oceanfront proximity.

Condo and apartment inventory is typically more accessible than the area-wide averages, which skew higher because of detached homes. To compare current options, browse all apartment and condo listings or filter by neighbourhood.
Things to Consider Before Buying
- Usage restrictions: Review the six-week owner-use limit and any rental management terms in the strata documents.
- Strata fees and financials: Ask for the depreciation report, minutes, and recent budget, as with any 20+ year-old building.
- Financing: Investor-oriented and hotel-style buildings can have different lending requirements than standard condos. Speak with a mortgage professional early.
- Exit strategy: Because the buyer pool differs from a typical residential condo, think through how you would eventually resell.
