Plaza of Nations, Entertainment complex at False Creek, Vancouver, Canada
Plaza of Nations is an architectural structure at False Creek in Vancouver comprising multiple connected buildings with a glass-roofed exterior space designed for large public gatherings. The complex was built to accommodate thousands of visitors for events held directly along the waterfront.
The structure originated as part of the British Columbia Pavilion during Expo '86, marking a transformation period in Vancouver's urban development. The site changed hands over the following decades and was eventually subject to partial demolition.
The venue hosted major music performances and served as a filming location for television and film productions before its partial demolition. Visitors could experience international acts in a setting that became part of Vancouver's entertainment landscape.
The complex is located along False Creek and is easily accessible by public transportation, with direct waterside access possible. Visitors should know that the site has undergone partial demolition and not all original structures remain intact.
Businessman Oei Hong Leong acquired the site in 1989 from Li Ka-shing, reflecting Vancouver's history of property transfers among international investors. This transaction marked a significant moment in the reshaping of the False Creek area through private interests.
