This beautiful open concept contemporary loft is on the top level of 55 E Cordova. The top level of this building is new concrete construction ontop of the 1910 restored heritage building, Koret Lofts. This unit has a true loft feel with 14' ceilings, open concept bedroom, and polished concrete floors. This unit has plenty of space, large ocean views, and a private rooftop patio. Additionally it has a second parking stall, which is extremely rare for this building, as there is very limited parking for the number of suites in the building, and is approxiamatley a $50,000 add-on.
Afterwards we visited #411 at Koret. This was a very cool plan in the heritage conversion portion of the building. It was also renovated into a two bedroom unit, there is plenty of space at 1378 sq.ft. so a well thought out two bedroom plan was created. The loft still had an open concept feel but with private bedrooms, which is rare. Property Details: http://www.albrighton.ca/property_detail-2-135-V804182.html
Finally we toured #407 546 Beatty St. A 983 sq.ft. 2009 converted loft in Crosstown. This unit offers great space for only $574,900, high ceilings, exposed brick, and concrete floors. One of our client purchased the same style unit in November for $550,100. Property details. 546 Beatty street listings and info page.

Vancouver Micro-Lofts in Gastown were mentioned in a recent Vancouver Sun Article.
Original buliding at 18 W Hastings Street is going to be converted to rental "micro-lofts" offering 270 sq.ft. bacholar units, which should fetch $750/mn for rent. This is a great idea, as we are making use of old Vancouver buildings, and adding some affordable rentals to our city. Most larger cities, such as Toronto have a much larger market of small studio style suites to offer more affordable rentals within the city core, cutting down travel times, and allowing entry-level Downtown workers to live and work in the same nieghbourhoods. Developers Reliance Properties and ITC Construction Group are behind the project, which was approved by city council in 2008.
This studio at #302 1189 Howe St offers a great city home or rental property. Designed for easy access, located Downtown Vancouver, and in a full service building. The "Genesis" at 1189 Howe street is perfect for city living. There is a large amenities centre with a pool, hot-tub, gym, lounge, and 24hr conceirge. Addtionally the unit has a parking stall for your city car (parking in this location is value at $20,000). Inside you will find a well planned 408 sq.ft., newly updated wood floors, a den space, and a patio. The patio faces unique architectural commercial buildings giving you a true urban feel.

Originally built as an office tower of Westcoast Transmission in the 1960s, the Qube was converted into condominiums in 2006.

Open living areas, sleek European inspired kitchens and exceptional detailing throughout are featured to enrich your living experience. Outside, lush, mature landscaping provides a calming buffer to the world, while QUBE's dramatic lobby entrance always ensures a comforting welcome home. Suspended from steel cables mounted on a central concrete core, this building is a Vancouver landmark. To maintain and enhance the historical value of this building, Anthem upgraded the strength of the original core structure and re-faced the exterior glass to provide opening windows while maintaining the original look and feel. Effectively, Anthem created a unique urban living experience, close to the waterfront, Urban Fare, waterfront, the shopping mecca of Robson Street, and the downtown business core.
