About this Property

Broadhurst & Whistaker by Wesgroup in Vancouver

A historic community of courtyard townhomes. Originally constructed in 1910. Re-imagined + Recrafted.

BROADHURST & WHITAKER is being carefully restored and revitalized from an iconic 1910 building in Cedar Cottage. At the turn of the century, encouraged by the strong local economy and thriving village that had emerged in the area, real estate agents Charles Frederick Broadhurst and Frederick A. Whitaker commissioned the construction of what became known as the Broadhurst & Whitaker Block.

The historic two-story structure features four merchant storefronts at street level with beautifully crafted residences on the second floor. The architecture, emblematic of its time, is defined by a symmetrical form and prominent bay windows on the upper level. Classic Edwardian-era architectural and decorative details are being preserved to celebrate the building’s heritage, including original fir floors, tin ceilings and incorporation of exposed metal structural elements.

The revitalization offers a boutique community of one and two bedroom townhomes, with access to a common landscaped courtyard and private roof terraces with city views. The community is located at the crossroads of a vibrant modern neighbourhood, connected to the deep history of Cedar Cottage and Commercial Street.
