GWL Realty Advisors Officially Opens 33-storey, AAA office tower, Vancouver Centre II

It’s been a busy and exciting month with events as our clients, GWL Realty Advisors, officially opened the much-anticipated Vancouver Centre II (VCII).

Located at 733 Seymour Street, Vancouver Centre II is the evolution of the Vancouver Centre complex, which includes Scotia Tower and Vancouver Centre Mall. Together, the two Vancouver Centre towers form one of the city’s most amenity-rich, spacious, and sustainable office developments.

For VCII, GWL Realty Advisors commissioned a work of public art from renowned Vancouver artist, Douglas Coupland. Spawn is a 30-foot stainless steel salmon that swims through the air above VCII’s atrium. Coupland says, “mythologically, fish represent the soul. What is Vancouver’s soul? We are lucky to live in the city we do, but it’s a privilege, not a right to be here. Part of that privilege is a pact between us and nature - that we nurture it alongside our metropolitan lives, and that we never think of ourselves as being the more important side of the equation.”

VCII has been certified as SmartScore Platinum and WiredScore Gold, and the project team is also pursuing WELL Gold certification and LEED Platinum certification. As such, VCII is an industry leading building that offers occupants exceptional comfort, meets these standards of sustainability, and has advanced digital infrastructure and the capacity to meet the evolving needs of the future.

We helped GWL Realty Advisors celebrate the grand opening with an event, ribbon cutting ceremony and media relations outreach.
