About this home

Move-in ready in the heart of Gastown. This 764 sqft live/work home at The Paris Block, a New York style heritage conversion loft by Salient Group, pairs original exposed brick with sleek concrete floors and high ceilings throughout. From the moment you step in you're greeted by warmth with a fresh, functional open space with room to live and entertain. Well-maintained building in great shape, featuring a common rooftop deck with BBQ and sweeping Gastown views, ideal for hosting or unwinding after work. Some of Vancouver's best restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops and nightlife are steps from your door, with transit and the downtown core minutes away. Originally built in 1907 and home to Pierre Paris Shoes for over 70 years, the restoration received an Award of Recognition from the City.
