Main Street Arts (MSA) II

Main Street Arts 2 is a visionary six-storey mixed-use development poised to enhance the vibrant community of Mount Pleasant in Vancouver. Situated at the intersection of East 4th Avenue and Main Street, this project aims to create a dynamic urban space that combines residential, retail, and childcare facilities within a sustainable and thoughtfully designed environment.

Main Street Arts 2 will feature 80,000 square feet of residential and commercial space, including 49 condominium units and a 37-space childcare facility. The development will offer a diverse mix of 50 units catering to many residents. The ground level will house five retail units, adding vitality and convenience to the neighbourhood. ​The second floor of the building will house the childcare facility, designed to be a safe and nurturing environment for young children, with two separate activity areas for toddlers and preschoolers. 

​

Main Street Arts 2 exemplifies sustainable urban development, focusing on energy efficiency and community well-being. The building's design incorporates sustainable materials and construction techniques, enhancing its environmental performance. The project minimizes its carbon footprint by achieving BC Step Code 3 while providing comfortable living and working spaces.

​

This development represents the second building by PortLiving on this stretch of Main Street, following the Main Street Arts condos at Main and East 6th Avenue. By transforming a site previously occupied by an automotive garage and propane station, Main Street Arts 2 contributes to revitalizing the area, offering new residential, retail, and childcare options that enrich the local community.
