Sony Pictures Imageworks Moving HQ to The Post

Sony Pictures Imageworks is relocating its Vancouver headquarters from CF Pacific Centre to The Post, according to multiple reports.

The Post is a highly sought-after downtown location known for its revitalized mid-century architecture and long-term tenancy by Amazon.

While a corporate spokesperson for Sony Pictures Imageworks declined to comment on the record, a source close to the studio told Business in Vancouver that the company is moving to The Post to build out a more modern workspace, the publication reported.

Located on West Georgia Street across from Vancouver’s central public library, The Post occupies an entire city block and features two office towers atop a former Canada Post processing facility that served for decades as Vancouver’s former main postal outlet. tiles.

“We can confirm Sony will move into the fourth-floor Atrium space, but we are unable to comment any further,” Hannah Wanlin, a spokeswoman for the building’s owner, QuadReal, told BIV.

The fourth-floor Atrium space is located within the Post’s heritage podium and is distinct from the eighth-floor Amazon Atrium, which was unveiled in September 2024 and connects the two towers leased by Amazon. The terms of Sony’s and Amazon’s respective leases have not been made public.

Sony Pictures Imageworks is an Academy Award-winning visual effects and animation studio with offices in Vancouver, Montreal, and Culver City, Calif. It operates as a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Entertainment and is part of the Japanese conglomerate Sony Group.

Sony Pictures Imageworks will be vacating its current offices in CF Pacific Centre, above the former Nordstrom department store.

“We can confirm that at the expiry of Sony’s lease, they will be vacating their premises (one floor), and we are actively marketing this floor for lease, focusing on creative industries,” Anna Ng, a spokeswoman for CF Pacific Centre owner Cadillac Fairview told BIV..

“The uniquely large floor plate and high ceilings provide unparalleled efficiencies and natural light rarely available in Vancouver.”

It remains unclear when exactly the studio will complete its move. Daily Hive reported that the relocation will take place before June 2025, when the Sony space is expected to become available for a new tenant.
