Constructed in 1969 for the forestry giant  MacMillan Bloedel, 1075 West Georgia was designed by Vancouver’s most preeminent architect Arthur Erickson, in partnership with Geoffrey Massey.  The building is a multi-award winning icon and national landmark consisting of twenty-seven stories of tapered concrete walls and deeply recessed windows.  It is set on a plaza constructed several feet below street level, and is contained by reflecting pools, creating a public space for the community.  Its use of reinforced concrete as the primary finish on both the exterior and interior of the building creates a building that blends Modernist and Far-eastern architectural aesthetics.
The building is a class A office tower consisting of several retail tenants, including Coast Capital Savings, and offers tenants a modern gym, spacious boardroom, end-of-trip facilities, bike storage, storage lockers and underground, secured parking.
