Fairmont Pacific Rim is an upscale hotel and condominium building in Vancouver, British Columbia. It stands at 140 m or 48 storeys tall and was completed just prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics.
The skyscraper, which is part of the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts chain, is located at 299 Burrard Street in Downtown Vancouver in the Coal Harbour neighbourhood by the Burrard Inlet waterfront. Right beside the Shaw Tower, it is also attached to the West Building of the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre. The Southern and Eastern exteriors are wrapped with an art installation of a Liam Gillick poem.[2]
This is the fourth Fairmont Hotel in the Vancouver Metropolitan Area. The hotel occupies the first 22 floors of the building, with the remaining floors being condominiums.[3]
The condominiums were sold at a price of $2,100 per square foot, one of the highest in Canada at the time.[4]
