About Naimo
Naimo is a boutique 4-storey mixed-use building by Hudson Projects at the corner of Nanaimo Street and East 7th Avenue in Vancouver’s Grandview-Woodland neighbourhood. With 38 homes across 16 unique floor plans, Naimo is a small-scale project in a market dominated by larger developments — a deliberate choice that produces more variety and character than a single repeated floor plate.
Hudson Projects is a Vancouver boutique developer known for thoughtful infill projects in east-side neighbourhoods. Their buildings tend to respond to their immediate context rather than defaulting to a generic tower model, which makes Naimo’s scale and layout diversity consistent with the company’s approach.
16 Floor Plans Across 38 Homes
The variety at Naimo is genuine: 16 distinct floor plans across 38 units means almost no two homes are identical. The range runs from efficient studios for buyers entering the market at $549,900, through one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, three-bedrooms, and up to penthouses with private rooftop decks. The penthouses, starting from $1,349,900, offer outdoor living spaces that are extremely rare in East Vancouver new construction at any price point.
Having 16 floor plans also means buyers at Naimo can choose a layout that matches their actual lifestyle — a home office alcove, a longer kitchen counter, a wider bedroom — rather than picking the closest imperfect option from a two-plan building.
Grandview-Woodland and Commercial Drive
Grandview-Woodland is East Vancouver’s most culturally vibrant neighbourhood, built around the Commercial Drive commercial corridor. The Drive — as locals call it — is a dense strip of independent cafes, Italian delis, Portuguese bakeries, international grocery stores, live music venues, and bars that stretches from Venables to Broadway. It has resisted chain store dominance more successfully than any comparable neighbourhood in Vancouver.
Naimo is on Nanaimo Street, roughly eight blocks east of The Drive — close enough to access the neighbourhood’s character without sitting directly on the busiest stretch. The location offers a quieter residential feel while remaining thoroughly walkable.
Transit
Nanaimo SkyTrain station on the Expo Line is within walking distance of Naimo, providing direct service to downtown Vancouver in under 20 minutes. Commercial–Broadway SkyTrain station on the Millennium Line is also accessible. The neighbourhood is bike-friendly, with the Central Valley Greenway nearby for east-west cycling connections.
Current Incentives and Pricing
The developer is currently offering a reduced $5,000 deposit to hold a unit and a $7,500 design credit — meaningful cost savings for buyers close to completion. This low-deposit structure reduces the cash required up front, making Naimo accessible for buyers who have been building their down payment but haven’t quite reached the typical 5% presale deposit amount.
One-bedrooms start from $549,900, two-bedrooms from $879,900, and penthouses with rooftop decks from $1,349,900. Given that Grandview-Woodland has seen sustained price growth over the past decade and comparatively limited new supply of boutique buildings, Naimo’s pricing reflects both the neighbourhood’s upward trajectory and the added value of unique floor plans and rooftop living.
Completion and What to Expect
Naimo is targeting a September 2026 completion — one of the nearest-term presale opportunities in East Vancouver. For buyers who have been reluctant to commit to a 2027 or 2028 project, a 2026 close means less time with money in escrow and a faster path to living in or renting out their new home.
