Author, comedian, filmmaker and Houseplant owner Seth Rogen may be one of the most recognizable Canadians in Hollywood, but The Long Shot star also knows a thing or two about smart real estate investments. Last month, Seth sold his 1,463-square-foot, single-floor penthouse for $2.6 million, a whopping $400,000 over the list price. The unit includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a walk-in closet and a cozy rooftop patio.

Loft Living in Downtown Vancouver
The building was formerly a heritage warehouse but has now been converted into a five-story luxury loft. With fewer than 40 suites, we’re sure Seth appreciated the peacefulness and privacy of this small, mid-rise building.
Anything But Neutral
Upon entering the open living area, you’re greeted by a striking, vibrant 12-foot blue kitchen and island, ideal for hosting friends and family. The wooden beam ceilings add an industrial touch to the loft, while the gas fireplace ensures warmth and coziness. In Seth’s unit, you’ll find striking exposed red brick walls and expansive windows accented with black trimmings — two highly sought-after hallmarks of hard lofts.
Brighten Up
Natural light is hard to come by in many downtown homes, but not in this loft. Thanks to the strategically placed skylight, even the bathroom feels bright. Every inch of this penthouse is utilized efficiently, including the creative wine storage beneath the staircase leading to the rooftop patio.
Smart Sleep
The primary bedroom’s built-in shelving offers smart lighting solutions and storage, which makes the room feel like a modern boutique hotel.
Be Our Guest
Meanwhile, in the guest room, one standout feature of this unit is the Murphy bed. It’s cleverly concealed within a wall resembling an old library catalogue system. When the bed is stowed away, it transforms into a stylish office space, making it the ideal workspace for creative minds.
Hometown Pride
Seth has always been outspoken about his love for his hometown Vancouver. In an interview with the CBC, Seth explained, “The older I get, the more I realize how rare it is to like where you’re from, and so I even more feel an urge to bolster and associate myself with it.” And what better way to appreciate his hometown than with a rooftop view like this?
