MNP Tower, Office tower in downtown Vancouver, Canada.
The MNP Tower is a 35-storey office high-rise at 1021 West Hastings Street in Downtown Vancouver, near Canada Place and the Burrard Inlet waterfront. Kohn Pedersen Fox and Musson Cattell Mackey Partnership gave it a floor plate that departs from the usual rectangle: three corners are heavily rounded and the fourth projects through slightly curved flanking sides. It holds a restaurant, café, fitness studio, daycare, conference rooms and a rooftop terrace.
Construction began in 2012 and finished in 2014, though the German Wikipedia gives 2015 as the year of completion. The tower was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox with Musson Cattell Mackey Partnership and built and operated by Oxford Properties Group at 1021 West Hastings Street, near Canada Place and Burrard Inlet.
The tower's name comes from MNP LLP, the accounting firm that is its anchor tenant and occupies several floors. Its address at 1021 West Hastings Street places it beside Canada Place and the Burrard Inlet waterfront, so office workers look out over the harbour and the cruise-ship terminal. The building also holds a restaurant, a café, a fitness studio and a daycare, which draw downtown residents as well as staff.
The building features ten elevators serving all 36 floors, offers 151 parking spaces, and provides convenient access to public transportation, restaurants, and retail establishments in Vancouver's downtown core for daily commuters and visitors.
The tower incorporates Buckling Restrained Braces in its lateral load system, a pioneering engineering technique in Vancouver that reduced the central core size while preserving the historic University Club brick facade at ground level.
