The Hastings-North BIA, marketed as the East Village, runs along East Hastings Street (from Renfrew Street to Clark Drive), with an industrial/mixed use commercial area bounded by East Hastings, Clark, Powell and Semlin Streets.
Covering approximately 40 city blocks, the BIA has a rich, small-scale industrial heritage that has uniquely adapted to Vancouver’s changing scene, with an emerging and distinct mix of primarily accommodation and food sector businesses.
Due to its reasonable lease rates and favourable infrastructure, a number of breweries and distilleries have built up in the area, ideally located just east of Vancouver’s downtown core.
