Introducing SOMA/Mount Pleasant

SOMA 2

South Main, or SoMa, is an area of Vancouver that centers around Main Street, and is part of the larger Mount Pleasant neighbourhood.

While no official boundary exists for South Main, its centre is roughly at the intersection of Broadway and Main Street. Its boundaries roughly extend from East 2nd Avenue to East 33rd Avenue along Main Street. Recent developments along the nearby Kingsway corridor are extending the boundaries eastwards. The name is something of a marketing misnomer, as fully 80% of Main Street lies south of the area defined as “South Main”.

South Main is developing quickly and becoming one of the trendier new areas in East Vancouver for living and dining. SoMa is a shortened version of the name South Main and was coined only in recent years by the area’s promoters, and is meant to evoke the SoHo (short for “South of Houston” Street) in Manhattan, which in turn is an allusion to the nightlife district in the West End of London of the same name. Another actual “SoMa” exists in San Francisco, which refers to the area “South of Market” Street. Soma is also the name of an intoxicating beverage used in a Vedic ritual. These multiple connotations reflect the intent of entrepreneurs and developers to carry out a “relaxed kind of gentrification” in the area to create a cosmopolitan and prosperous commercial district.

Two words best describe Nic, Consummate Professional. Nic get’s the job done, quickly, quietly and most effectively and that is all you can ask. Without knowing me, he set up several introductions with major property developers in Lower Mainland and helped me provide my investors several viable options to expand their portfolios.
I’ve known and worked with Nicholas for the past 20 years. When it comes to rental suites, nobody knows the market better than him. You will always be satisfied utilizing not only his services but his knowledge is incredible.




I have worked with Nic and His staff since 2005 and found him and his staff to be the BEST Property managers in Vancouver… My downtown clients swear by him as well…. Reliable, Dependable 1st Class

.
Leadership qualities that set an example for others to aspire to. Building a lasting foundation of integrity in the marketplace. Nicholas, is a model for anyone to follow. Balancing a healthy lifestyle, with a successful business model in 2015.
All dealings with Nicholas have been businesslike and have reached a successful conclusion. Throughout our dealings he was honourable and ethical, making our relationship positively conclusive.I have known Nicholas for approximately 15 years.
