Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The BC Electric Building is a 22-storey office tower in Vancouver, British Columbia.

In 1995 the building was converted from offices to residences and renamed the Electra.

Summary from Español / Spanish Wikipedia (eswiki)

El Edificio Electra, más conocido como The Electra, es una de las torres de condominios más elegantes del movimiento de la arquitectura modernista, situada en la zona céntrica de la ciudad de Vancouver en la provincia de Columbia Británica, Canadá. Inaugurado a fines de 1957, fue en su momento el edificio de metal y cristal más alto de la Mancomunidad de Naciones Británicas y de la costa Oeste de Norteamérica. En sus comienzos funcionaba como casa central de la firma BC Hydro; finalmente se transforma en el primer edificio de alta categoría para viviendas de la Ciudad de Vancouver, zona centro, siendo nombrada la torre bajo el nombre de una de las divas de la mitología griega, Electra (en griego: Ἠλέκτρα, Êléktra). Su alta tecnología de construcción incorporó novedosos sistemas de ventilación, con equipo de aire acondicionado y calefacción central, convirtiendo al Electra en el primer edificio de viviendas aclimatado de la ciudad.
