The Bentall Centre
Vancouver, B.C.
The four-tower Bentall Centre is Western Canada's largest integrated office complex and one of Vancouver's premier business addresses. Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, it encompasses 1.5 million square feet of office space, housing 8,000 people. Construction on Tower One began in 1965 and Tower Four was completed in 1981.
The complex includes a fitness centre, retail stores, restaurants, banking facilities and other public-oriented amenities in the lower-level shopping area, which runs throughout the centre and connects to Discovery Park and a light rail public transit station. A variety of plazas with waterfalls and colourful plantings soften the towers' impact on the street-level environment and provide a popular lunchtime sunning spot.
