23-storey office tower in the city's downtown core of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

The HSBC Canada building is a 23-storey office tower in the city's downtown core of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The building's primary tenant was the headquarters of HSBC Bank Canada, the former Canadian subsidiary of HSBC. The skyscraper, built on the site of the former Hotel Devonshire (built 1925 and demolished 1981), was originally designed by WZMH Architects for the Bank of British Columbia. The assets of the Bank of British Columbia were acquired by HSBC Bank Canada in 1986.
