‘This is probably one of the coolest towers we have across the country,’ says its supervisor.
Vancouver Harbour Tower is responsible for keeping pilots and passengers moving safely through one of the busiest waterfront airspaces in North America and, at 142 metres off the ground, it’s also one of the highest air traffic control centres in the world.
It’s a cramped, 12-sided workspace made almost entirely of glass that overlooks the harbour from atop the Granville Square office tower, formerly home to the Vancouver Sun and The Province newspapers, and for a place with such a striking resume, it’s remarkably easy to miss.

“It is a very, very unique place,” said David Weston, the tower’s supervisor. “The business that we do here is awesome.”
