Description
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. On top of that, you're surrounded by some of the best restaurants shopping in landmarks in the city (id:63159)

How this is calculated
Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.
Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.
Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.

Financial Summary
Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
