Walking Tour: Chinatown

 

#15

Hong Kong Bank Building

600 Main Street

The Hong Kong Bank of Canada Building is the prime tenant in this building designed by Wing Ting Leung Architects and opened in 1996. The building includes many traditional architectural features such as a recessed balcony and heavy cornice, as well as an unusual round corner element. The construction of the building was welcomed as an indication of confidence in the future of Chinatown despite recent years of economic uncertainty.
