Alexander Court, located at 700 E Pender Street in Vancouver’s historic Strathcona neighbourhood, carries a rich heritage, originally built in 1911 as the First Synagogue of Vancouver. The building, a key part of the city’s early Jewish community, stands as a testament to Strathcona’s diverse cultural roots. In 1987, it underwent a thoughtful conversion into residential condominiums, blending its historic architecture with modern living spaces.

The design preserves elements of its original structure, including traditional brickwork, while incorporating contemporary features like glass and metal that align with the area’s industrial character. Now a multi-story residential complex, Alexander Court offers a unique fusion of history and modernity, set in a vibrant community known for its cultural diversity and proximity to Chinatown. Residents enjoy a prime location near parks, local businesses, and easy access to downtown Vancouver, all while living in a space that connects them to the city’s storied past.
