The HSBC Building was built in 1986 and is one of the most prominent office structures in the city, exuding the quality, stability, and success of its occupants.  Consisting of approximately 470,000 square feet, the tower stands 24-storeys high with both office and retail space, four levels of underground parking (containing 435 stalls), and a large, spectacular atrium entrance, making the HSBC Building an integral piece of the Pacific Centre Office Properties.

The Atrium and all of its attractions are available for your enjoyment.  From a pivotal point one hundred feet above the floor swings an aluminum pendulum that has fascinated viewers as a piece of kinetic art (the "broken column").  Noon-hour visitors are treated to complimentary music played on a grand piano by professional musicians Tuesday through Thursday.  While The Pendulum Gallery, located in atrium, often displays art exhibitions that entertain a parade of visual art.
