2025 - Vancouver - Marine Building Art Deco Lobby
The lobby of Vancouver's Marine building.
Completed in 1930, the edifice has been impeccably preserved.
1 of 2.
The decorative features on the exterior and interior are endless and the detail remarkable.
Marine Building was completed at a final cost of $2.3 million dollars, $1.1 million dollars over budget or close to double the original estimate. In 2023 the building was assessed at $153 million.
Rather than go into bankruptcy the developers were forced to sell their investment and received only $900,000, with the sale taking place in 1933 to the Britsih Pacific Building Co. (part of the Guinness Brewing Company).
The Marine Building is equal to any Art Deco Masterpiece in North America and deserves its designation as a Heritage Building in Vancouver.
