Vancouver is the most populous city in the Canadian province of British Columbia and has roughly 650 high-rise buildings that equal or exceed Script error: No such module "convert".,[1] and roughly 50 buildings that equal or exceed 100 metres (328 ft). Almost all of the city's buildings that exceed 100 metres in height are located within Downtown Vancouver.[2] Vancouver's population density is the fourth highest in North America and the city has more residential high-rises per capita than any other city on the continent.[3]

The city has 27 protected view corridors which limit the construction of tall buildings which interfere with the line of sight to the North Shore Mountains, the downtown skyline, and the waters of English Bay and the Strait of Georgia.[4]

The tallest building in Vancouver is the 62-storey, Script error: No such module "convert". Living Shangri-La;[5] the building represents the city's efforts to add visual interest into Vancouver's skyline.[6] The recently completed Paradox Hotel Vancouver, also known as Vancouver's Turn, is now the city's second tallest building, at 188 metres (616 ft).[7] The Private Residences at Hotel Georgia, completed in 2012 at Script error: No such module "convert". and 48 stories, is currently the third-tallest in the city.[8] One Wall Centre, at Script error: No such module "convert". tall, with 48 storeys, is currently the city's fourth tallest building.[9] One Wall Centre has the distinction of being the first building in the world to use a tuned liquid column damper to control wind vibrations.[9]

History

Vancouver's history of skyscrapers began with the Dominion Building (1909), the Sun Tower (1911) (originally named the World Tower, then the News-Advertiser Tower, after the newspaper it was home to in each case), the Vancouver Block (1912), the second Hotel Vancouver (1916) and the Marine Building (1929). The third Hotel Vancouver was completed in 1939 at Script error: No such module "convert". tall, and was the first building in the city to have stood taller than 100 m (328 ft).[10]

Building construction remained slow in the city until the late 1960s, other than the completion of the new BC Electric headquarters (soon renamed BC Hydro headquarters, and today the Electra condominiums). From 1968 to 1981, Vancouver witnessed a major expansion of skyscraper and high-rise construction. Many of the city's office towers were completed during this period, such as the Harbour Centre, Bentall Centre, Royal Centre, Granville Square and Pacific Centre office tower/mall complexes.[11][12] A ten-year lull in building construction came after the expansion, though Vancouver experienced a larger second building expansion beginning in 1991 and continuing into the present.[3]

In the last two decades Vancouver's pioneering urbanism, with its density and innovative developments, has been emulated by major cities throughout the world.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". As part of the city's push for liveable high-density areas (called Vancouverism by planning theorists),[13] many mixed-use and residential buildings were built, such as Concord Pacific PlaceScript error: No such module "Unsubst"., the largest master-planned residential complex in North America.[14] One Wall Centre and Living Shangri-La were the city's first buildings to break the Script error: No such module "convert". and Script error: No such module "convert". marks, respectively.[5][9]

While highrise development outside of the downtown core had been nearly nonexistent due to zoning restrictions and view cones, recent transit oriented developments like Marine Gateway and the upcoming Oakridge Park are centered around Canada line stations of the Skytrain, Metro Vancouver's light metro system, in order to increase residential density and reduce car reliance. They will have the tallest building heights outside of Downtown Vancouver.

Tallest buildings

This list ranks buildings in Vancouver that stand at least 100 m (328 ft) tall, based on CTBUH height measurement standards.
