Gastown

 Gastown has some history and it’s not all about some boozin’ man called Gassy Jack. Not to take anything away from this progressive entrepreneurial pioneer, but the buildings in the area are what we’re talking about when it comes to history in Gastown and the fact that it is possible to inhabit one of these historic buildings, which have been converted into modern day luxurious lofts,  is experiencing history first hand.

 The facades are old world brick reminiscent of anywhere but Vancouver and this is exactly what gives Gastown its charm. Gastown was once the center of the action and given time it will rise up once again from the worn and weathered cobblestone to shine brightly as Vancouver’s go to place for all things hip, sophisticated, hot, with it, cool, phat, bad and jizzle my nizzle in vogue.

For over 60 years The Paris Block was home to Pierre Paris & Sons - a logging boot manufacturer and shoe retailer. Today, the Paris family company continues as Paris Orthotics on West 4th Avenue. Learn more about the Paris Block's history.

Situated on West Hastings, just a few strides from the Woodward's building redevelopment, the Paris Block will be 29 new homes within a 100-year-old 5-storey brick building. It's in a position to take advantage of the revitalization of the much anticipated Woodward's district. Soon, there will be a new SFU campus, a major grocery store, and other large essential retailers within sight of The Paris Block. It's a great opportunity for students, urbanists and savvy visionaries to be a part of breathing new life into Vancouver's original city centre.
