With Vancouver’s office market evolving and the demand for creative, tech-friendly spaces rising, it’s more important than ever to stay ahead of the curve. One such space that encapsulates this shift is 565 Great Northern Way, also known as The Slide. Located in the heart of the False Creek Flats, this property is not only a testament to innovative design but also offers prime opportunities for businesses looking to establish themselves in this burgeoning tech and arts district. Today, we’re spotlighting this standout building and the available sublease opportunities that can offer your business the perfect blend of style, functionality, and location.

Nestled in the heart of the False Creek Flats, The Slide stands as a beacon of innovation, creativity, and sustainability. Just steps from the upcoming Great Northern Way SkyTrain Station and adjacent to both Emily Carr University of Art and Design and the Centre for Digital Media, this AAA property offers unparalleled access to this growing hub, known for its blend of technology, arts, and sciences.

Developed by Low Tide Properties, the property provides a glimpse into the future of sustainable office spaces. This 160,000 square foot, seven storey office building is not only designed to LEED Gold standards, but it also stays true to the west coast with wood-clad interior, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a unique interactive wall. Panoramic views from the building’s rooftop patio and meeting room capture both downtown Vancouver’s skyline and the North Shore mountains.

At ground level, The Slide’s public plaza offers a communal pavilion and a unique 2,000 square foot retail space. Resembling a vibrant red flower, the space now houses Nemesis Coffee and has become an iconic public art landmark.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, The Slide is designed for the modern workforce. It provides on-site parking, premium bicycle facilities, a spacious gym and changing rooms, and direct access to the Central Valley Greenway. The public plaza and pedestrian connection were designed to integrate with both Emily Carr University and future Great Northern Way – Emily Carr Canada Line station.

Since its completion in 2018, The Slide has attracted a range of creative and tech industries, reflecting the growing demand for high-quality office spaces outside of Vancouver’s downtown core. The building’s state-of-the-art amenities and its integration with the surrounding arts institutions, position it as a flagship property in the city’s emerging tech, sciences, and creative corridor.
