Harbour Centre

British Columbia, Canada

The 637th tallest building in the world

169 m · 554 ft

Harbour Centre is a skyscraper in the central business district of Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, which opened in 1977. The "Lookout" tower atop the office building makes it one of the tallest structures in Vancouver and a prominent landmark on the city's skyline. With its 360-degree viewing deck, it also serves as a tourist attraction with the Top of Vancouver revolving restaurant, offering a physically unobstructed view of the city. Harbour Centre is located at 555 West Hastings Street in Downtown Vancouver. It is steps away from Waterfront station, a major multi-modal transit hub which serves as the Downtown Vancouver terminal for various TransLink operations including SeaBus, West Coast Express, SkyTrain and buses. Simon Fraser University operates its downtown Harbour Centre campus in the adjoining Spencer building and houses the Center for Dialogue and Canadas World. Vancouver Coast Guard Radio operated until 2015 from Harbour Centre, providing distress watch and vessel traffic services to the North Arm Fraser River, Burrard Inlet, Indian Arm, English Bay and Howe Sound.
