Harbour Centre will be undergoing a significant redevelopment of its downtown Vancouver complex.

In the spring of 2013, extensive construction work will begin to expand and upgrade the food court and revitalize the building’ streetscape.

The core of the redevelopment is the food court expansion.

A portion of the existing second level floor will be removed to accommodate a two-story galleria.

Approximately 17,000 square feet of eating and common area with more than 600 seats will be served by 14 contemporary food vendors offering healthy food options and a selection of world cuisines.

Interior upgrades will include higher ceilings, open-concept lounge spaces, and a fresh colour palette. Increased natural light will brighten the lower common and retail areas. Other additions include complimentary Wi-Fi zones, larger washroom facilities, and digital directories.

The building’s exterior façade will also see improvements. The Cordova Street entrance will be enlarged to offer clear sightlines into the Centre. Wider entryways, new canopies, and improved signage will add colour and light to the building.

Construction will begin in the spring, with completion expected in late 2013.
