The Electra Building at 989 Nelson Street is an iconic high-rise located in the heart of Downtown Vancouver. Originally constructed in 1957 as the headquarters for BC Hydro, this building was a pioneering example of modernist architecture and one of Vancouver’s first high-rises. In 1995, it was repurposed into a residential and commercial strata building, combining urban sophistication with historical significance.

The Electra features 21 stories of mixed-use spaces, including residential units, office suites, and retail stores on the ground level. Its exterior is characterized by a sleek glass curtain wall, and the building is famous for its signature blue-green panels that stand out against the city skyline.

Residences in the Electra offer open floor plans with high ceilings, expansive windows for abundant natural light, and air-conditioning, a rare feature in Vancouver. Amenities include a gym, social club, and several guest suites.

Located in a prime downtown location, the Electra is steps away from the Vancouver Art Gallery, Robson Street shopping, and an array of restaurants and cafes. Its central position provides excellent access to transit and nearby neighbourhoods, making it a favourite for professionals, students, and investors seeking convenience and style in one of Vancouver’s most storied buildings.
