Murchies Building

1216 Homer Street - Yaletown, Vancouver Downtown

The Murchies Building is a restored heritage warehouse on Homer Street in Yaletown, dating to the early 1910s, with a common rooftop deck and secure gated parking. Its brick-and-timber character is pure Yaletown, and the location is the draw: the restaurants, cafes, and boutiques of Mainland and Hamilton Streets are steps away, the False Creek seawall and David Lam Park are a short walk south, and the Aquabus to Granville Island is nearby. Urban Fare groceries, the Roundhouse Community Centre, and the Yaletown-Roundhouse Canada Line station are all minutes on foot. For heritage loft living with a rooftop deck in the heart of Yaletown, the Murchies Building stands out.

About Yaletown

Yaletown is Vancouver's warehouse-district-turned-waterfront neighbourhood, on the north shore of False Creek between Beatty and Drake Streets. Its heart is the heritage core along Mainland and Hamilton Streets, where brick-and-timber warehouses and their raised loading docks now hold restaurants, patios, cafes, and boutiques. South of that, glass towers built atop the former rail yards line the Marinaside seawall, with David Lam and George Wainborn parks, the marina, and the Aquabus ferries to Granville Island along the water. Day to day it is highly walkable: Urban Fare covers groceries, Emery Barnes Park gives the centre a green square, and the Roundhouse Community Centre anchors community life. Transit is excellent - the Yaletown-Roundhouse Canada Line station links downtown, the airport, and Richmond without a car, and BC Place and Rogers Arena sit just across the eastern edge.
