I did not find a thread specific to this project. 1477 West Broadway City of Vanccouver 31/08/2021 https://www.shapeyourcity.ca/1477-w-broadway 06/09/22 https://vancouver.ca/files/cov/1477-w-broadway.pdf Changing City 09/09/2021 https://changingcitybook.wordpress.c...west-broadway/ Daily Hive 02/10/2019 https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/1465...nville-station 15/07/2021 https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/1477...tower-proposal 08/09/2021 https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/1477...i-developments 26/04/2022 https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/1477...tower-approved CBC 27/04/2022 Vancouver approves 39-storey tower for corner of Broadway and Granville Street Note: I tried and still screwed up the thread title. The rezoning was approved. I couldn't remember what plans and proposals were on hold until the new city council took office. |

It's going to really show up from the north side of False Creek. It's already visible, and they've only just started on the tower. |

If I recall correctly, the original DP application (Which did not include the residential tower portion or any tower portion and was significantly different) accounted for (and applied for) the possibility of a future tower extension to the project, which was accepted, and now I imagine this is kind of like fast-tracking that phase and bringing the tower part forward in the schedule. You'd have to imagine any delays or project pauses could potentially impact the opening of the line, which has already been pushed back from a 2025 to a 2026 opening. |
Yes! A thread for the South Granville Station Building!
|
The base is looking imposing. I'll try to get out there with the drone after Xmas.
|
Thanks for starting the thread!
|
Once it gets built it will be a good placeholder for what the future of Broadway will look like.
|
They must have designed and built it for the tower, fingers crossed they'd get the tower approval.
Has there ever been any building in Vancouver where their design got changed mid-construction like this? |
^The tower is approved.

I think the biggest design change that ever happened mid-construction was the Wall Centre glass fiasco https://www.francesbula.com/uncatego...uncil-said-no/ |
i didn't know there was a ~40 level tower attached to this. i thought it was only the 5 level portion.
|
The penthouse suite on this tower will never (never say never, ok at the very least the next 100 years) have an obstructed view of Downtown and mountains... I'll buy it :)

Well then Zep wouldn't even need the penthouse, just install webcams on the roof!

They’ve installed one piece of the podium facade/glass on the fourth floor fronting Broadway. It looks pretty cool and shows the colour scheme. It’s visible in bepositive’s first photo of this thread, just zoom in a bit.

Nice. I like the colour. Glad they didn't do the classic material switch-a-roo.

Wow, Zep forging new levels of SSP content! Awesome! :worship: |
Not keen on the pinkish brown, but will work in that area of town (not too modern).
|
|
Nice shot. Didn't think of how much taller towers on Broadway will stand out from downtown's PoV.

Oakridge is another 60m higher than Granville/Broadway

Is that not the tower portion being built? Should the title not be changed?
|
I think so - looks like a thick transfer floor.
|
This thing is already looking so big in person. Excited to see it rise faster now that they're getting to the res floors.
|
so the tower has been approved? I thought it was still waiting.

|
oh ok, nice, i assumed it would take a few years to get approved.

The little clock tower across the street is tiny.
|
Driving south along Granville, looking up the hill, it is even more imposing. Excited to see some glazing go up here. The shape of the tower is somewhat standard so hopefully good materiality helps this one out.

Makes sense to me.

The building feels really daunting from the street
|
|
Thanks, I was wondering if those daffodils had come out yet!
|
Sorry to detour, but do any gardeners here know if/when the daffodils will eventually stop growing in neat rows and start spreading over the hill?

I believe you're conflating the "seeds", with the "pollen", with the flowers themselves. The actual flowers (which house the pollen and produce nectar) have no nectar, which is necessary to attract insects like bees and small birds to the flowers to drink said nectar as food, and while doing so get some pollen stuck onto themselves. The insects or birds (or in some cases small animals even) then act as pollen vectors, in helping transfer pollen from flower to flower thus pollinating them to germinate into fruits with seeds. And then the seeds themselves are propagated either by animals or insects - in case they grow in edible fruits that can be eaten by said creatures - and then spread around after going through their digestive tracts as ejected fecal matter (complete with ready-made "seed food" in the manure around them), or in the case of plants to don't develop fruits, the seeds develop as light objects with wispy "fruits" or seed pods - sometimes with "wing" or "sail" like extrusions to facilitate them being spread by wind or runoff rainwater. Seeds typically don't have nectar. It's the flower that does. The seeds are either edible on their own are are in a casing that's edible and delicious (the fruit) to animals and insects) In the case of the daffodil, the seed pod is neither nutritious or attractive to insects or animals, and the seeds themselves are too heavy to be blown away from the parent plant by wind or rain water. Hence they need human intervention to help them propagate far beyond where they are "born". So the lack of nectar is only a first part of the problem they face in being able to spread and propagate themselves along with the fact that they also don't develop or grow fruits or seed pods that would be attractive enough for animals to help them spread while not being mobile in shape and form themselves for the elements to do so. In essence they are badly evolved plants that probably only still exist because we humans have helped them continue doing so, and would long ago have gone extinct without us due to their terrible natural adaptations. Much like some domesticated animals (and plants) which can no longer survive on their own in the wild without humans. |
so someone actually went there and planted all those daffodil bulbs?
I thought the bulbs would just naturally expand lol. I know some of my bulb plants have grown back with more and new flowers every spring without me doing anything there are just more of them every year. |
