Henriquez Partners Architects has designed Vancouver’s first supertall skyscraper: a 314-meter tower that will anchor the new Georgia & Abbott development. Its structure features a steel exoskeleton clad in white panels and expansive surfaces of translucent glass, setting a new benchmark on the city’s skyline.
Inspired by ancient marine sponge reefs, the project aims to blend into its surroundings through a symbolic and environmentally conscious approach. The complex is complemented by two additional towers, a podium that preserves the historic facade of the 1926 Randall Building, and a public plaza featuring retail and dining spaces.
