Broadway–City Hall station was built in 2009 and opened along with the rest of the Canada Line. The station features large double-height ceilings over the platform area and was designed by the architecture firm VIA Architecture.[2]
In 2018, it was confirmed that the Millennium Line would be extended from its current terminus at VCC–Clark station west to Arbutus Street, and eventually to the University of British Columbia.[3] When completed, Broadway–City Hall station will become a transfer point on the Broadway extension as the station was designed with a "knock-out" panel on the mezzanine level to provide a connection to the Millennium Line platforms under Broadway. Originally scheduled to open in 2025, the opening of the new platforms has been pushed back twice; as of May 2024, it is scheduled to open in late 2027.[4][5]

Entrances
Broadway–City Hall is served by a single entrance at the southeast corner of Cambie Street and West Broadway.[6] The 99 B-Line to Commercial–Broadway station stops in front of this entrance.
The Crossroads development at the northwest corner of Cambie Street and West Broadway was required by the City of Vancouver to provide space for an entrance to the station.[7] This entrance has yet to be built.
