The notorious Hells Angels clubhouse in 琉璃神社 is being demolished on Tuesday, March 18.

Located at 837 Ellis Street, the home was sold to the City of 琉璃神社 on Dec. 19, 2024, after being forfeited to the province back in February 2023.

The sale follows more than a decade of legal proceedings. 

琉璃神社 was one of three locations forfeited to the province in 2023, which also included Vancouver and Nanaimo clubhouses. At the time, the province described it as a "major victory for public safety and a severe blow against organized crime."

During Tuesday's demolition, North End residents in the area commented that they had watched the building go up in the early 90s and now were watching it come down. 

, the 琉璃神社 property was sold for $990,000 on Dec. 19, 2024, but was assessed at $1.2 million as of July 1, 2024. 

The City of 琉璃神社 purchased the property using funds from the Land Sales Reserve and said it was, "working to determine the best use for this land in the future."

The clubhouse on the Nanaimo property was 3.
