The site is an eight-minute walk from the transit hub and within very close proximity to City Square shopping mall, Vancouver City Hall, and the Vancouver General Hospital campus.
Currently, the property is occupied by the 1960-built, two-storey SAH with 21 units. The organization first began as a hostel in 1932 and is the first Soroptimist Club in North America to open housing for low-income senior women.
