Harbour Centre, a prominent skyscraper in downtown Vancouver, opened in 1977 and features the Vancouver Lookout, which offers sweeping 360-degree views of the city. The Lookout is accessible via glass elevators that transport visitors 168 meters high in just 40 seconds. Historically, Harbour Centre was home to the Simpsons-Sears department store and served various tech firms during the dot-com boom. It is a cultural landmark, recognized for its Modernist architectural style and as a tourist attraction. The tower is open daily, with specific hours varying seasonally; admission fees apply. The site is easily accessible via public transport, located near Waterfront Station.
