Mid-rise condo in Vancouver

188 Keefer Place, Vancouver, BC

Vancouver‘s Chinatown has been an essential part of the city’s culture and history for over a century. While Chinatown was previously on the decline, it is now recovering thanks to locals who have worked hard to rehabilitate their community and municipal officials who have agreed to ease zoning restrictions. One specific change has had a significant impact on condominium projects like Keefer Block.

Solterra Development‘s The Keefer Block is a nine-story brick and concrete building with 81 units in the heart of Chinatown’s rapidly revitalizing historic district.

Solterra, on the other hand, wants to preserve the area’s historic and cultural significance. Therefore, they’ve given special attention to ensuring that their proposed structure would blend in with the historic area.
