The Dominion Building — Local services in Vancouver

One of my favorite historical buildings in van city 😍 ❤️ The Dominion Building (originally Dominion Trust Building) is a commercial building in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Located on the edge of Gastown  it was Vancouver's first steel-framed high-rise. At 53 m (175 ft), the thirteen-storey, Second Empire style building was the tallest commercial building in the British Empire upon its completion in 1910.Its architect was John S. Helyer, who is said to have died after falling off the staircase in the front of the building, though this is an urban legend. The Dominion Building sits across the street from Victory Square, site of the former provincial courthouse, which was relocated to Georgia Street in 1913. The Dominion Building was at the hub of the city's financial and legal district until that move.

The backside of the building (containing the emergency staircases) and Cambie Street was filmed during the street scenes of The Neverending Story. It can be seen from Water Street.

The Dominion Building can also be seen at the end of Jennifer Lopez's 2023 film,The Mother, as she looks down into Victory Square from the 14th floor, nearing the end of the film.

The Dominion Building, as well as other elements of Victory Square, were filmed for scenes in an abandoned city in Battlestar Galactica.

The initial rooftop chase scene from Blade: Trinity was shot at the Dominion building.

The 2012 TV show Alcatraz also used this as a location in the opening episode, although the program was set in San Francisco, a lot of the location work was done in Vancouver. The Dominion building can also be seen in the background later in the series when a landmine is found in Victory Square.

Our company has been a tenant at 207 W Hastings for 14 years, but the service under Allied Properties has been nothing short of a nightmare. We've been waiting over 6 months for the return of our $9,000 refund, which we prepaid in advance as rent, despite completing a walk through in August. The refund was issued under a dissolved corporation, forcing us to reincorporate and hire lawyers just to make it cashable

Ashley Florence and Laura Admirall have been completely unresponsive and unhelpful, effectively ghosting us when we’ve tried to resolve this issue. Their lack of professionalism and disregard for tenants is shocking. Previous management was far better, but Allied Properties has clearly lost any concern for tenant satisfaction. Avoid renting from them if you value efficient service and respect for...

Historical building but in a rough area. Too many homeless and drug addicts in surrounding. You can always smell the weeds and has to watch for any needles. Parking is not available under the building but across the street which is expensive. I only go there because of my dentist...
