Completed in 1998, this $6 Million 2 storey, 56,000 square foot office building was to be the new head office for MacMillan Bloedel Limited (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacMillan_Bloedel) to reduce costs by moving out of the Vancouver downtown business core to the Burnaby suburb. Instead, MB moved from it's own building at 1075 West Georgia one block east to Cathedral Place (925 West Georgia), and Telus took occupancy of the building.

Parallam engineered wood beams, produced by MB's partner company Trus Joist, was prominent in design of the building interior and exterior. At one time clearly visible from the street, the beam and wood features have been covered or painted over.
