VANCOUVER, BC, July 27, 2022 /CNW/ – Cadillac Fairview (CF) is marking the 50th Anniversary of TD Tower (700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC) as an influential gathering place in downtown Vancouver. Completed in 1972, TD Tower was the first modern high rise in the city centre, kickstarting a development boom that has shaped the fabric of the urban core. Known as the Black Tower, the 30-storey tower is part of seven other first class office buildings and the premier CF Pacific Centre shopping centre and a five-star hotel development that make up the Pacific Centre complex, spanning three city blocks in the heart of the city. Fifty years later, TD Tower remains integral to the vibrant cityscape in a thriving world-class city.
“TD Tower signifies more than a physical building – it represents the culture, innovation and diversity that is representative of the City of Vancouver and its community,” said Lillian Tummonds, Vice President, Office Operations, Cadillac Fairview. “As city builders, Cadillac Fairview takes pride in not only creating beautiful, productive, and purposeful real estate but establishing and contributing to lasting connections that people are proud to be part of, professionally and personally. We’re thankful to our long-term clients such as TD Bank Group (TD), Farris LLP and Alexander Holburn. The strength of our partnership extends beyond Vancouver and permeates to Canadian communities across the country – that’s the true mark of our legacy.”
As part of its storied tenure, TD Tower has been home to many longstanding clients including legal firms, media companies, and financial institutions such as its inaugural flagship tenant TD and is a focal point in the city’s core. Situated at the corner of Granville and West Georgia, its close proximity to the Vancouver Art Gallery, well-known hotels and a wide selection of dining, entertainment and retailers, including CF Pacific Centre, and direct interior access to all rapid transit lines including the SkyTrain and Canada Line, makes it a desirable and exciting place to work.
We’re thrilled to celebrate the anniversary of the TD Tower, which has been our home for five decades,” said Kevin Hamaoka, TD Senior Vice President, Pacific Region, Canadian Business Banking. “The TD Tower has played an important role connecting us to our customers and communities. It has provided us with a shared space for our various business teams, so that we can bring the whole bank to our customers in a convenient location. It has also served as an office for our community teams and been a hub where customers and other Vancouverites gather to get more involved in their community. Both the building and our operations have evolved over time to meet these changing needs, which wouldn’t have been possible without the foresight and support of CF.”
To celebrate this milestone anniversary, Cadillac Fairview and TD have partnered to create a vibrant outdoor patio space on TD Plaza that includes a parklet adorned with seasonal flowers, enhanced seating and a colourful mural designed by local artist Tiffany Royrock. The installation will be on display mid-July to Fall 2022 and is available for public use. Visit the link to learn more about TD Tower’s historical timeline.About Cadillac Fairview
