Park Place
Vancouver, BC
The Park Place tower rises 35 storeys above the intersection of Burrard and Dunsmuir Streets. At 698,000 square feet, this is Vancouver’s largest office building. The 450-foot-high structure is clad in Spanish pink granite with flush windows of copper rose reflective glazing chosen to match the stone, giving the impression of warmth and brightness. On the lower five storeys, a cascading glass atrium brings the park that connects Park Place to Christ Church Cathedral into the building, giving a sense of transition from inside to outside. The 20,000-square foot floor plates are some of the largest in Vancouver and are designed for both single and multi-tenant occupancy.
The office tower occupies only 35% of the site, the rest of the open space is dedicated to a one-acre park complete with cascading waterfalls, a small amphitheatre and grass knolls shaded by filtered light through honey locust trees. In addition to a 600-car parking garage, there is a lower-level retail mall.
