More than a century may separate the Salient Group’s new Paris Annex from the 29-residence restored Paris Block (right) at Hastings and Abbott in the Downtown Eastside, but they still have plenty in common.
‘The Annex will complement its neighbour in design and purpose,’ a Salient news release says. ‘These two buildings will share corridors, stairs and an elevator, and the juxtaposition of old and new speaks for The Salient Group’s commitment to sensitive development in Vancouver‘s original neighbourhood.’
The Paris Block, built in 1907, sold out last summer.
The six-storey building kept its painted brick façade, its turn-of-the-century cornices, sills and centre-pivoting windows. The homes in the new Paris Annex, with its minimal concrete frame and glass and aluminum façade, will range in size from 689 square feet to 1,415 square feet with prices starting at under $400,000. Salient expects to begin selling later this month.
