309 524 Yates St Originally constructed in 1896 for prominent merchant Simon Leiser, this landmark heritage building began as a state-of-the-art wholesale warehouse during Victoria’s gold rush boom. Designed by noted architect A.C. Ewart, the fully restored Leiser Building now seamlessly blends its striking Victorian brick architecture and historic charm with modern residential living in the heart of Old Town. This top-floor, one-bedroom, one-bathroom loft-style apartment offers an exceptional blend of character and comfort, featuring soaring 14-foot ceilings, large windows that flood the space with natural light, and the convenience of in-suite laundry. Residents can also enjoy access to a rooftop with stunning 360-degree views, all just steps from the waterfront and moments from dining, entertainment, and shopping. (id:203)
