Canada Place
Canada Place
An international symbol of Vancouver, Canada Place is a landmark waterfront development that transformed the city’s relationship with its harbour. Originally designed as the Canadian Pavilion for Expo ’86, this 375,000-square-foot mixed-use project pioneered the revitalization of the downtown waterfront and remains a vibrant centre for tourism, business, and community celebration.
Built on the historic foundations of Pier B-C, Canada Place integrates a cruise ship terminal, convention centre, hotel, retail, offices, and public plazas into a singular architectural statement. A defining feature is its iconic sail-like roof—a fibreglass-reinforced Teflon fabric structure evocative of nautical forms. The angled boardwalk and layered promenades create a seamless connection between the city and the waterfront, offering panoramic views of the harbour, Stanley Park, and the North Shore mountains. The building’s multi-use program supports a wide range of activities year-round, while its ship-like silhouette and carefully detailed public spaces continue to inspire civic pride and international recognition.
