Park Place (Vancouver)

Entrance lobby

The building is located at the corner of Burrard Street and Dunsmuir Street, across the street from the Burrard SkyTrain station. Although the building only uses 35% of the site, at 64,856 square metres (698,100 sq ft) it is the largest office building in British Columbia. The rest of the site is dedicated to open green space, including water features and a small amphitheatre.

The Postmodern architecture of the building is expressed through its pink granite facade adorned with flush-mounted copper-glazed windows that mach the granite's appearance. The building bears many similarities to the Brookfield Place in New York City, which was constructed around the same time.

This building is rare in its use of the address 666, because of the negative connotations of that number in North American culture. However, in Chinese culture 666 is considered one of the luckiest numbers. The decision was likely motivated by the city's large population of Chinese Canadians and strong ties to China, especially Hong Kong.
