    Gastown Moving Tips and Local Planning Notes



  • The "Stair" Factor: Many heritage buildings and older condos in Gastown have multiple levels or unique staircases. Most movers charge their standard hourly rate, but the move will take longer if there are many stairs. Always mention the number of flights when booking.


  • Parking Considerations: Gastown has very limited street parking. Always check with the City of Vancouver or building management in advance about temporary "No Parking" signs or loading zone permits for moving trucks, especially on busy streets like Water Street.


  • Tight Turns: Many buildings in Gastown, particularly heritage lofts or older structures, can have tight entryways, narrow hallways, or challenging staircase turns. Measure your doorways and ensure larger furniture can pass or be disassembled/reassembled by professionals.

Get Movers Vancouver BC applies these same Gastown planning steps—multiple levels, access timing, and parking coordination—backed by insured moves, “Guaranteed Protection” policy, written estimates, transparent hourly pricing, and Not-to-Exceed options (when eligible).
