Industrial Conversion in the former New Westminster Post Office. Authentic to the core, you feel the exclusivity, history and energy reaching out to you from every room. Secluded at the back of the building, surrounded on three sides by wood-frame sash windows that stretch up the 12 foot ceilings. Inspiring, unique architecture that is truly one of a kind - especially with the original post office vault. Converted to residences in 2002, C2C Lofts was fully retrofitted and modernized. Each unit is unique and this one is the stand out. Extended like a peninsula, reaching across 1,241 square feet and leading you to the roof top deck. Take in the morning sun, step out your door for a coffee, a bite to eat and a short walk to the Skytrain.
