Royal Bank Tower (Vancouver) is a 16-storey office tower located in downtown Vancouver and served as the regional office for the Royal Bank of Canada until 1973.
Designed by the bank's chief architect Sumner Godfrey Davenport, construction began in 1929 and completed in 1931. It was one of two notable projects designed by Davenport.[2]
The mix of Art Deco and Neo-Romanesque office building is now undergoing rezoning application and restoration.[1]
