An icon by all definitions, The Ming Wo Building at 23 E Pender Street is a landmark property rich in history and character. Built in 1913 and designed by W.H. Chow, the four-story plus lower-level building exemplifies the distinct Chinatown architectural style and sits at the heart of one of Vancouver’s most culturally significant neighborhoods.
Strategically positioned across from the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Garden and Chinese Cultural Centre, the building also shares its block with the historic Wing Sang Building, now home to the first Chinese Canadian Museum in Canada - reinforcing its place in Chinatown’s vibrant streetscape.
The property was fully renovated in 2020, and features an exceptional retail space with soaring ceilings, a charming storefront, and a mezzanine level. The lower level, accessible via two internal staircases, serves as additional storage. The second and third floors, boast heritage flooring, exposed brick, and abundant natural light, with the second floor offering a rare outdoor terrace, with expansive views of the False Creek Skyline.
With its timeless character and redevelopment potential, this is an exceptional opportunity for an owner-user, investor, or developer looking to acquire and restore a piece of Vancouver’s heritage in the heart of Chinatown.
