TD Tower is located at 700 West Georgia Street in Vancouver and is a part of the Pacific Centre downtown shopping mall.

It stands at 127 m or 30 storeys tall and completed in 1972. The building houses TD Canada Trust operations in British Columbia. When this tower was built, on the site of the former (and long-demolished) second Hotel Vancouver, its black-glass facing earned it the press sobriquet "the Black Tower", and with the toilet-white design of the adjacent Eaton's building (now Sears) it was widely viewed as an architectural disaster. The building is also the home of Corus Radio Vancouver, with the top floors occupied by various radio stations.

The TD Tower is the 9th tallest building in Vancouver.
