YALETOWN
#402 1180 Homer St - McMasters - This is one of the best heritage conversion buildings in Vancouver, with high-end finishing's and design. It is a perfect blend of old and new. It is also in a great Yaletown location. The floor plans are on one level and flow really well. Here is a recent video of a listing at McMasters: http://video.pixilink.com/video/402-1180-homer-t/
#413 - 1275 Hamilton St - Alda - This is another Yaletown conversion loft building designed by and named after Alda Pereira, with nice modern and classical elements. This unit is smaller with only 818 sq.ft. but still has two beds/two baths. 
#306 - 988 Richards St - Tribeca Lofts - This is a newer loft building in Yaletown/Downtown, it is supposed to mimic the style of some loft buildings in the "Tribeca" area of New York. This unit is on one level, it features newer modern styled finishing, and a homely feel with separated rooms.
GASTOWN
#309 36 Water St - Terminus - These are beautiful contemporary newly built lofts in Gastown along Water St. This is a two level loft, these minimalist architectural gems are worth a look as the design is very unique, and very open. This may be too modern for the average eye.

#407 546 Beatty St - Crane - This is a very nice loft building with exposed brick and concrete floors. These units are a bit cold, but offer great value and plenty of potential. Once you put in a high quality kitchen and some proper lighting these units truly shine.
