Event Details

Programmable LED lights have become one of the most innovative ways to brighten up the night sky and add some sparkle to Downtown Vancouver’s iconic buildings. Hudson Pacific Properties, operator and co-owner of Bentall Centre, reimagined the lights to illuminate the downtown business district and provide an opportunity to raise awareness for important causes like International Holocaust Remembrance Day, International Women’s Day, Epilepsy Awareness, and more.

The lighting system in towers One and Two Bentall Centre are highly customizable and allow for infinite colour schemes. The crown lights are high output efficient LED lamps which means they are longer lasting (88,000 hours or 10 years), easy to maintain, and use minimal energy, which helps Bentall Centre reduce its carbon footprint.

Next time you’re walking past the towers, be sure to look up and admire the stunning lights illuminating one of the city’s most recognizable business landmarks.

Event Details

Take care of your mind and body this Mental Health Awareness Month with a visit to Bentall Centre’s Wellness Studio.

The Wellness Studio is back for a month of movement, mindfulness, and meditation. Starting May 1st, The Wellness Studio located in downtown Vancouver is celebrating Mental Health Awareness month with a series of classes and workshops in partnership with 13 of Vancouver’s leading wellness and fitness studios. From yoga, strength classes, breathwork, guided meditation, sound baths, to mental health talks, there’s a diverse line up of classes to support everyone’s wellness journey. See list of studio partners below.

Aside from the scheduled classes, the Wellness Studio will be open daily from 1-4pm for open studio sessions.

If you’ve new to mediation and mindfulness, the studio also offers on-demand sessions via the Calm app to help get you started, as well as an immersive meditation pod called Haven. Created by Tangible Interaction, Haven is an inflatable cloud you can enter — as a place to relax, meet or simply take a moment. It provides a creative, contemplative and restful space-within-a-space. Whether you go in with a friend or a group or just on your own, Haven encompasses you in a zone of peace and airiness so you can leave everything else behind and come out feeling refreshed.

The Wellness Studio, created by Bentall Centre, is an initiative to put a spotlight on workplace well-being and mental health. Classes can be booked by a $10 minimum donation or, new this year, a $150 unlimited pass to the Wellness Studio. All money raised will be matched by Hudson Pacific Properties co-owner and operators of Bentall Centre, and donated to Foundry, a mental health organization for young people aged 12-24.
