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

The skyscraper stands at 127 m or 30 stories tall and was 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 the home of Corus Radio Vancouver, as well as a number of law firms, including Farris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy LLP and Alexander Holburn Beaudin & Lang LLP.

The TD Tower is one of the tallest buildings in in the city.
