The Melville Rooftop

The Melville Rooftop

I went to a Saturday afternoon pool party a few months ago on the rooftop of the 42 story Melville building downtown. It had to be the sweetest pool party I’ve ever been too, with incredible 360 degree views of Vancouver and the surrounding mountains.

    always wanted to know what was up there. Also, I think the Shaw Tower is the second tallest building in Vancouver.

    Thanks for the comment! Wikipedia has the Wall Centre at 150 m (491 feet) tall vs. 149 m (489 feet) for the Shaw Tower, so it’s a close call :)
