VANCOUVER
Only two years later , the 82-metre Sun Tower , with its iconic steel dome , would dominate the Vancouver skyline .
It not only surpassed the 53-metre Dominion Building for tallest in the city , but for a single year it was crowned the tallest of all buildings in the British Empire .
Of course , no list of classic Vancouver architectural icons is complete without mentioning the Marine Building .
Completed in 1930 and standing at 98 metres tall , the Marine Building on Burrard Street is considered to be one of the best examples of Art Deco architecture in the world . In recent years it has been featured heavily in film and TV productions , often standing in for New York City . While the quality of these films , such as The Fantastic Four , are debatable , the quality of the Marine Building is indisputable .
