The building was constructed as the head office of the forestry company MacMillan Bloedel and was designed by Erickson/Massey Architects with Francis Donaldson.[1] The partner-in-charge of design was Arthur Erickson, who conceived the building in 1965. Construction began in October 1966 and the building opened officially on 13 December 1968. The building is one of the earliest works in Erickson's catalogue and is one of Canada's outstanding examples of brutalist architecture. In 2021 the owners renamed the building Arthur Erickson Place, however, the original name remains in common use.
