Open House: Luxury loft living in downtown Vancouver

Brendan Leong

Lofts are great aren’t they? All high ceilings and original features. The problem for many of us is that they can be a little rough around the edges without the appropriate amount of TLC.

But if you like the idea of lofty living check out this stunning warehouse conversion that’s currently available in the heart of downtown.

Listed at a cool $1,648,000 it’s relatively affordable by Vancouver standards, that is the same standards that require you to sell a kidney to fund the purchase of your first starter condo. But even though you might not have that kind of cash sitting in your account, that doesn’t mean you can’t drool over this designer downtown condo.
