Bentall Centre, Office complex in Downtown Vancouver, Canada
Bentall Centre is a 140,000-square-metre office complex and underground shopping mall in downtown Vancouver's financial district, owned by Hudson Pacific Properties. It comprises five towers: One (505 Burrard St, 86 m, 22 storeys, 1967), Two (555 Burrard St, 76 m, 18 storeys, 1969), Three (595 Burrard St, 122 m, 32 storeys, 1974), Four (1055 Dunsmuir St, 138 m, 35 storeys, 1981), and Five (550 Burrard St, 140 m, 35 storeys, completed 2002/2007). The mall, Shops at Bentall Centre, has about 50 stores and a food court, with direct access to Burrard SkyTrain Station.
Development of the complex began in 1967 with the first tower and continued through multiple construction phases until the fifth tower was completed in 2007. This extended building timeline reflects the growth of Vancouver's financial district over four decades.
The underground Shops at Bentall Centre hold about 50 stores and a food court, linked directly to Burrard SkyTrain Station. The complex is owned and managed by Hudson Pacific Properties. WeWork is the main tenant of Two Bentall Centre, while the Bank of Montreal anchors Three Bentall Centre.
The Shops at Bentall Centre, the mall beneath the towers, links directly to Burrard Station on the SkyTrain network, so the complex can be reached without going outdoors. The five towers stand along Burrard Street and Dunsmuir Street, with addresses from 505 to 595 Burrard and 1055 Dunsmuir; Bentall 5 is at 550 Burrard.
Four construction workers died in an accident during the building of the fourth tower in 1981, which prompted major changes to safety regulations in British Columbia. This tragedy had a lasting impact on construction practices across the province.
