At the heart of Gastown stands the iconic Woodward’s complex, a redevelopment of the historic Woodward’s Department Store. Completed in 2009, the complex comprises two main residential towers: Woodwards W-43 at 128 West Cordova Street and Woodwards W-32 at 108 West Cordova Street.

Gastown is also home to several heritage loft buildings that have been meticulously restored to preserve their historical significance while offering modern living spaces. These lofts often feature original brick walls, timber beams, and large windows, providing a unique living experience that reflects the area’s industrial past.

Notable examples include the Terminus and the Garage buildings, which have been converted into contemporary lofts while retaining their historic facades. These residences appeal to those seeking character-rich homes in a vibrant urban setting.
