Vancouver history meets striking modern architecture in this exceptional loft at the iconic Terminus building in the heart of Gastown. Originally home to the historic Terminus Hotel, the building was transformed in 2008 by award-winning Acton Ostry Architects into one of the city's most celebrated heritage conversions. Held by the original owner since redevelopment, this standout home features dramatic 14+ ft floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the leafy trees and warm brick character of Water Street.
A refined mix of warm wood, concrete, stainless steel, and crisp modern finishes creates a space that feels both industrial and inviting. Residents enjoy stunning rooftop decks with water and mountain views, bike storage, and lounge spaces. Surrounded by incredible restaurants and landmarks.
