From The History of Metropolitan Vancouver website:

The Marine Building

The Marine Building is still, for old-timers, the building most clearly identified with Vancouver. Its unique wedding cake “icing”, topped by that vaguely Mayan tower, makes a dramatic and exciting backdrop as you look west down Hastings. It is one of the great art deco buildings in the world.

Recently, this building has been used for quite a few TV and Film productions. Most notable, TV "Smallville", Film "Fantastic Four"
