The Neighbourhood Connection
Hem Vancouver is positioned at the corner of East Hastings and Lakewood Drive, a central location within East Vancouver. Residents will enjoy strong transit access along Hastings Street, connecting quickly to downtown and other parts of the city. The neighbourhood itself offers a balance of convenience and charm, with local cafés, grocery stores, boutique shops, and services within walking distance. Parks like Pandora Park and Hastings Park provide green escapes nearby, while the waterfront and bike routes add to the area’s livability.
Mixed-Use Design and Urban Energy
Street-Level Activation
The development incorporates retail at street level, creating an animated pedestrian experience and strengthening the East Village streetscape. With shops and services integrated directly into the building, daily conveniences are always just steps away.
Residential Above
Above the retail frontage, three levels of residential homes offer a boutique, community-oriented scale. The building height is approximately four storeys, supported by two levels of secure underground parking for residents, visitors, and retail users.
Homes Built for Everyday Life
Hem Vancouver will feature a total of 69 strata units, thoughtfully designed to suit a range of lifestyles. While final floor plans have not yet been released, the mix is expected to include efficient studios, well-proportioned one-bedroom homes, and family-sized two- and three-bedroom layouts. Many homes will be corner units with dual exposure, maximizing light and livability. Interiors are expected to emphasize functionality, natural light, and quality finishes that align with Hudson Projects’ reputation for detail and design integrity.
Floor Plans
- Urban One Bed: 420 – 565 sq.ft. interiors, 30 – 140 sq.ft. exteriors
- Two Bed: 720 – 960 sq.ft. interiors, 50 – 645 sq.ft. exteriors
- Three Bed: 805 – 1,040 sq.ft. interiors, 50 – 770 sq.ft. exteriors
A Walkable and Connected Lifestyle
Living at Hem Vancouver means being immersed in the vibrant East Village community. Coffee shops, breweries, yoga studios, and local grocers line the Hastings corridor, creating a lively and welcoming neighbourhood. Pandora Park offers outdoor space for recreation and families, while Hastings Park provides cultural and entertainment amenities including the PNE and Playland. The location also makes commuting easy, with major bus routes along Hastings and quick access to downtown Vancouver.
Pricing, Presales, and Launch Information
Hem Vancouver offers competitive presale starting prices:
- Urban One Bed from $479,900
- Two Bed from $799,900
- Three Bed from $899,900
Specific floor plan packages, strata fees, and finish specifications will be released at launch. Interested buyers are encouraged to register for early VIP access to gain first choice of homes and exclusive updates. With only 69 homes available, Hem Vancouver is expected to attract attention from both end-users and investors looking for a boutique East Vancouver address.
The Team Behind Hem Vancouver
Hem is being developed by Hudson Projects, a Vancouver-based company recognized for creating modern, design-driven residential communities. Their vision emphasizes livability, human-scale design, and homes built with long-term integrity. While the architect and interior designer have not yet been officially announced, the project promises contemporary design that blends seamlessly with East Vancouver’s eclectic urban fabric.
Looking Ahead to Completion
The project has received its development permit approval from the City of Vancouver. Completion is set for 2028 and occupancy timelines are to be determined, though construction is expected to follow typical pre-sale sequencing once sales are launched.
Why Hem Vancouver Stands Out
Hem Vancouver combines the intimacy of a boutique-sized building with the vibrancy of a mixed-use design. Its East Village location places residents within reach of transit, parks, shops, and schools, while Hudson Projects’ vision ensures careful attention to design and construction quality. With a limited collection of only 69 homes, Hem offers a rare opportunity to own a modern residence in one of Vancouver’s most authentic neighbourhoods.
