Greenshield's units are constantly in high demand compared to other Vancouver Lofts due to the building only housing 22 units. Greenshield is also in high demand because of the authentic beauty that the exterior radiates. Originally built in 1902, this stone and red brick building has detail at every inch. Arched masonry and detailed brick work outline the large windows that adorn the exterior of the building. Inside the individual units reflect this beauty. Thanks to the low number of units each suite gets to enjoy plenty of space. The spaces are also utilized expertly with open concept designs maximizing the amount of natural light pouring in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. While the unit's kitchens and bathrooms are modern and sleek each unit still features historical elements. These elements include exposed brick, concrete beams and maple hardwood flooring. The units also feature 11-foot ceilings, and some units even feature pressed tin ceilings to add detail to the living rooms. Many of the units also enjoy the beauty of the ocean and the mountains out of their windows. Located in Gastown residents couldn't be luckier.
