Newmark Canada is pleased to offer an exceptional leasing opportunity at 62 East Cordova Street — a rare ~3,000 SF standalone storefront in the heart of Gastown, delivered turn-key and ready for the right operator. The space blends 19th-century brick-and-beam architecture with post-and-beam ceilings, a meticulously maintained hospitality build-out, premium kitchen and bar equipment, a licensed 92-seat capacity, private room with A/V, multiple walk-in coolers, secure office, rear loading access, and bay. A ~2,000 SF lower-level provides generous storage, private dining, or event capacity. The timing is deliberate. In April 2026, Vancouver City Council unanimously approved the Gastown Public Spaces Plan — a long-term strategy that repositions the district from a pass-through corridor into a pedestrian-first retail destination. 62 East Cordova is positioned to capture that shift directly.

Yaletown is an area of Downtown Vancouver approximately bordered by False Creek, Robson, and Homer Streets. Formerly a heavy industrial area dominated by warehouses and rail yards. Since Expo 86, Yaletown has been transformed into one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods in the city. Hamilton Street and Mainland Street are the most significant, comprising two intact streetscapes from that era. The marinas, parks, high rise apartment blocks, and converted heritage buildings constitute one of the most significant urban regeneration projects in North America. Yaletown is now one of Vancouver’s trendy areas, filled with sidewalk cafes, a variety of restaurants, a thriving nightlife scene, and intimate boutique hotels. They are lined with handsome brick warehouses built on rail platforms, many with cantilevered canopies. These have been converted into loft style apartments and offices, with boutique stores, bars, and restaurants at the ground level. Yaletown is close to downtown offices and shopping, restaurants, night spots and top sports venues. It is situated on False Creek with access to the seawall with walkways and bike lanes, extending to the Olympic Village and Granville Island.
