New condos on former Mount Pleasant coffee shop site now up for pre-sale

Condos that will soon sit on the Mount Pleasant lot where Bean Around The World used to be are now for sale — which you can afford if you give up about 200,000 lattes or have $800,000 kicking around.
The development at Main Street and East 20th Avenue in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant — named Main & Twentieth — is being marketed to pre-registered prospective buyers, and a quick glance at the floor plans and their prices is enough to make most people do a spit take.
Previously, the lot was home to Bean Around The World, where it had operated for the last 16 years. The coffee shop closed last summer to make way for Landa Global to begin construction on the development, after it had purchased the land for about $11.4 million back in 2015.
Suites range from one-bedrooms to two-bedroom and flex suites, with some laid out in a split-level loft style, and they won’t come cheap. According to a recent survey, there were no new condos available in 2017 in Vancouver for under $500,000.
But if you had double that amount, you might be able to move into one of 42 homes being constructed at 209 East 20th Ave., where residential suites will sit atop commercial units at street level.
A one-bedroom loft measuring between 620 and 647 square feet, with just under 300 sq. ft. of outdoor space, begins at $799,900. Meanwhile, two-bedroom suites measuring between 713 and 942 sq. ft., with anywhere from 64 to 658 sq. ft. of outdoor space, start at $945,900.
Let’s take a look at some of the floor plans for available suites, shall we?
Unit 210 is a two-bedroom and flex-space suite which also has two bathrooms spread over 747 sq. ft. of indoor space, with 67 sq. ft. of outdoor space. This suite will cost you $968,900.

There will be 42 suites in total, set around an open-air courtyard that allows for windows on both sides of each suite.
The expected completion date of the project is winter 2019.
