The Salt Building is a very significant landmark in the Southeast False Creek neighborhood. It is a heritage listed building located in the heart of the community on the NW corner of First Avenue and Manitoba Street.
The Salt Building, which was built around 1930 to refine raw salt and converted in the 1980s as a paper recycling plant, has sat empty for a number of recent years.
It offers a number of very strategic advantages including:
- Super Central Location which has lots of parking (a lot of the parking is free)
- Beautiful Washrooms
- Large doors (elephant doors) to fit cars through) which means car launches can happen here.
- High ceilings (17.5′), Large room (82′ wide x 148′ long)
- Outdoor plaza that can service concerts and festivals which overlooks the water.
- One of the most energy efficient and green buildings in North America as it uses the methane from waste materials (sewage) to heat the building.
