CROSSTOWN
#4-1 550 Beatty St - "550 Beatty St" - This was Vancouver's 1st residential loft conversion building, re-developed in 1985. Being 25 years old the interiors are pretty dated, but the building is in good condition. This large two level loft offers 1276 sq.ft. and with a parking stall. This may be higher on your budget, but also offers a lot of potential if you thought of a renovation. Highly upgraded units go for a premium in this place. It is currently listed at $669,000 but has been on the market for 112 days. Its worth closer to the lower-mid $600k's. Listed by Coldwell Banker Premier Realty.
#204 546 Beatty St - "Crane Building" - This a 2008 heritage conversion building with pretty raw spaces including concrete floors, brick walls, and open layouts. This is an old tired listing that has been poorly marketed and photographed, so keep an open mind when looking through the listing. It has 769 sq.ft. on one level, a secured parking stall, restored character windows, white polished concrete floors, high 9'+ high ceilings, and a relatively open plan. It is located along Beatty St just up from Pender St and will be quieter than your area and many spots of Gastown. Listed at $469,900 by One Percent Realty Ltd.
GASTOWN
#210 36 Water St - "Terminus" - Terminus is a very cool chic modernist building. These are open concept loft style condos with ultra-clean seamless lines located in the better part of Gastown. The attention to design, architecture, and detail is beautiful. The building features a restored facade keeping the character look on the street but very modern linear floor plans on the inside. This unit has 900 sq.ft. parking, and great design. This is a high recommendation. Water St is certainly the better spot to be in Gastown. Listed at $555,000 by Sutton Grp-West Coast Realty.
#213 55 E Cordova - "Koret Lofts" - If you are open to Gastown, this is a very cool suite, and as far East as you want to go, for a great price and it includes parking. You will find parking is very hard to come by in heritage buildings, as the underground parking areas are small. This unique building is located at Cordova and Carrall, it is a very nice designer conversion building. The interiors are beautiful, exposed concrete, wood, venting, brick, high ceilings, very open concept design and more. These are true lofts with great architecture. Its 1100 sq.ft. and includes a parking stall at $499,000. Listed by Sutton Grp-West Coast Realty.
DOWNTOWN
#307 1238 Seymour St - "The Space" - This is a mid range loft Tower in Downtown. This unit is quite tired, as it is pretty much original from 1996, but offers plenty of potential. Similar units with great renovations go for a premium. Again, if you are open to a project this could be a good option. Listed at $459,900 by Bruce Ward Realty Ltd. Here is an example of a similar suite with a beautiful makeover that sold in January 2010: http://www.albrighton.ca/property_detail-1-135-10835.html.

#301 1228 Homer St - "Ellison" - This is a modern style loft building, which was completed in 2007.
