Yaletown–Roundhouse is a subterranean station on the Canada Line within the SkyTrain rapid transit network serving Metro Vancouver. Situated at the intersection of Davie Street and Mainland Street, approximately northwest of Pacific Boulevard, this station caters to the residential and commercial zones of Yaletown and Downtown Vancouver in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

History

The station commenced operations in 2009 and derives its name from the surrounding neighbourhood as well as a historic railway roundhouse that currently functions as a community centre. The architectural design was crafted by VIA Architecture.

In 2018, TransLink revealed plans to improve accessibility at Yaletown–Roundhouse and two additional downtown Canada Line stations by installing extra escalators. The upgrade project started on January 28, 2019, and reached completion by July, resulting in improved passenger circulation and increased station capacity.
