Walking Tour: Gastown

 

#18

Unitel Building

175 West Cordova Street

Today the Canadian Pacific Telecommunications Building stands out as one of the few modern buildings in Gastown. It was built in 1968-69 as the first phase of the massive downtown redevelopment scheme, Project 200, and was designed by architect Francis Donaldson. Eventually Project 200 was largely scrapped, in favour of small-scale renovation and restoration of older buildings, preserving the historic core of old Vancouver.
