Executive Summary
Tucked within the cobblestone streets and brick façades of Gastown, Block House at 211 Columbia Street presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Vancouver’s architectural history—reimagined as a design-led boutique hotel for the modern era.
Housed within a 2.5-storey plus lower-level brick and timber heritage building, Block House thoughtfully blends historic character with contemporary hospitality. Recipient of the Heritage Award of Honour (2003), the property features a restored brick and stone façade, soaring ceilings, operable heritage windows, and a refined interior palette that reflects timeless craftsmanship and elevated design.
Purposefully conceived as a boutique hotel, the upper levels comprise 19 self-contained suites, each complete with a private kitchen and washroom—offering guests the flexibility of both short- and extended-stay accommodation. Below, the fully leased retail levels provide stable, in-place income, grounding the asset with immediate revenue.
Now complete and fully operational, Block House is currently leased and operated by Kalido House Hotels, offering a turnkey hospitality investment within one of Vancouver’s most iconic and tightly held neighbourhoods.
In addition, 211 Columbia Street presents a compelling opportunity for both investors and owner-operators—either as a stabilized, income-generating asset or for those seeking to acquire and directly operate a fully built boutique hotel in the heart of Gastown.
