Four iconic landmark heritage buildings

Overview

Rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained landmark heritage property, once awarded the title of “The Most Beautiful Block in Vancouver.” These four iconic homes, originally built in the early 1900s, have been lovingly restored to their original Victorian and Edwardian splendour, blending historic charm with modern functionality.

The property sits on a 16,962 SF site with 128.5 feet of frontage in the heart of Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighborhood. It is currently configured into 15 rental suites, including a furnished laneway cottage at the back that adds to its heritage appeal.

Key Features and Upgrades

• Parking & laundry: There is a rear parking area with 10 stalls (2 covered) and each home has its own shared laundry facilities.
• Heating: The main homes use electric baseboard heating, while the laneway cottage is heated by gas.
• Renovations: The current owners completed a comprehensive restoration program (details to come).

Land Use

The property is currently zoned RT-6 but is part of a city-initiated rezoning to the new R3-2 district, scheduled for approval in early October. It is designated as MRTB under the Broadway Plan and Tier 3 within the Transit-Oriented Areas Rezoning Policy.

Potential value-add opportunities include:

• Infill development.
• A heritage density transfer to another suitable site, if permitted.

All four homes are formally recognized on the Vancouver Heritage Register.

Location

140-150 West 10th Avenue is located in Mount Pleasant, on the south side of West 10th Avenue, between Columbia and Manitoba Street. The property enjoys a quiet residential setting with immediate access to the vibrant array of shops, restaurants, and services along West Broadway. It is located just 2.5 blocks east of Vancouver City Hall, and 3.5 blocks east of the Broadway-City Hall SkyTrain station.

Mount Pleasant is a dynamic, highly livable neighbourhood known for its eclectic charm, blending heritage architecture with modern development. The area offers excellent public transit connectivity, is a short bike ride from Downtown Vancouver, and is rich in local amenities, including boutique retailers, cafés, and diverse dining options.

The neighbourhood is also a growing hub for creative industries and tech sector employers, and is just a 10-minute walk to Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) and the Central Broadway corridor—the second-largest employment centre in British Columbia.

With a vibrant cultural scene, ample green space, access to top employment and educational institutions, and close proximity to downtown, Mount Pleasant attracts a wide demographic—from students and young professionals to families and retirees. Its unique mix of convenience, lifestyle, and character makes it one of Vancouver’s most desirable places to live.
