Living Shangri-La, Modern skyscraper in Downtown Vancouver, Canada.

Living Shangri-La rises to a height of 201 meters with 62 floors above ground and 7 underground levels, featuring glass and steel construction throughout the structure.

The construction of this mixed-use tower began in 2005 and reached completion in January 2009, with an investment of approximately 350 million Canadian dollars.

The building integrates public spaces with a sculpture garden and Vancouver Art Gallery displays, connecting the structure to the local arts community.

The first 15 floors contain a luxury hotel with 119 rooms, while the remaining levels house 307 residential units with controlled access systems.

The excavation process required removing 15,000 truckloads of earth and utilized 51,000 cubic meters of concrete to create this architectural landmark.
