More than 10.5 million people visit Vancouver annually, a number growing consistently year over year. There is no better time to leverage the city’s growth.

BC Place is at the core of a revitalization plan that will become one of Vancouver’s most significant city-building opportunities in a generation. The plan will define and transform Pacific Boulevard into a ‘Great Street’ with buildings and uses that bring life and activity, preserving views to this iconic building and its Northern Lights Display.

Buildings are being designed and located to frame views to the stadium from key public places along the seawall, the Expo line and the new Pacific Boulevard.

The visibility and importance of BC Place will only increase as the plan comes to life.
