In 2004, HR Pacific built the first four-storey tilt-up structure in Vancouver, British Columbia. Designed by Oberto Oberti Architecture and Urban Design Inc., the project featured 60-foot-high tilt-up concrete walls lifted and connected to an interior steel structure. Underground parking was completed with cast-in-place construction following the wall installation.

The structure was formed with 60-foot-high tilt-up concrete walls that were lifted into place and secured to an interior steel frame. Once the panels were set and integrated with the steel structure, underground parking was constructed using cast-in-place methods. The combination of tilt-up walls and steel framing required precise sequencing and coordination to ensure accuracy and structural integrity.

As a construction milestone for Vancouver, the project demonstrated the adaptability of tilt-up technology in a multi-storey application. HR Pacific’s role in delivering the building showed the company’s capacity to execute complex concrete and steel systems while maintaining the schedule and technical requirements of an urban site.
