Electra

989 Nelson - Downtown, Vancouver Downtown

Electra occupies the iconic former BC Hydro building on Nelson Street in downtown Vancouver, a celebrated modernist landmark converted to homes. It offers secure gated parking and a wealth of mid-century character, with a striking tapered form recognizable across the city. The location is central: Robson Street's shopping, the Vancouver Art Gallery, and the central library are a short walk, the financial district is close, and Burrard SkyTrain station links across the region. English Bay, the West End, and Yaletown are within easy reach. For distinctive heritage living in the heart of downtown, Electra is one of a kind.
