Okay, so the heights I got looking at the diagrams to the top of the roof, is 238.5 metres for tower 1A, and 255.3 metres for tower 1B.

I hope these either won't get built or only one gets built as shown here.

A single super tall would look better for phase one, but I’ll still take it. I know any major change now will mean years of extra limbo time.

Yeah a single super tall with a wider floor plate, or even one that tappers away towards the top, would make things feel less compact here. Though there might be a market for this highly compact cluster of high rises that's coming down the pipeline at Lougheed. I don't necessarily think I would want to live here myself, but I do recognize the benefit of providing options for people that do want to live in this sort of neighbourhood. It'll be interesting to see what the effects are long term on prices.

My only issue with the development is the two towers almost touching each other. It's a tight lot for two tall towers.

Taking 15 floors of the shorter tower, and adding those to the taller one would help with the cluttered appearance a bit.

Or find a way to offset them better, like the windows of each tower face directly into the opposite tower, yikes. Or just remove one of the towers completely and add the floors to the remaining towers

25 elevators in Phase 1. Eight for the office floors, eight for each tower and one dedicated bike elevator. The residential tower lifts are split four the 47th floor and bellow and four for those above the 47th. The machine room for the lower set of lifts is shown on floor 64 with residential unit bathrooms in what would be the elevator shaft for floors 48-63, the cables must run through ducts in the walls through these floors.

woo tall buildings; tallest in western canada.

lets hope these get built. i would have liked to see the 15 extra floors on the taller tower; that was a good idea. i assume it had to do something with economies of scale. theyd probably need another elevator going higher.

Nice to see most people still being sane and being given a voice on issues. You see that so rarely in today's media, where most of the time it's wackos like Gu getting all the airtime.

Surely the economics don’t depend on the full build-out. One less tower and some reasonable spacing is in order.

They have a website on their signage but it takes you to a GoDaddy page. Pinnaclelougheed.com

I took some pics will try upload. My Flickr uploads never seem to work on my phone. Anyway the signage says pinnacle Lougheed presentation centre and show homes.

It was rainy and I didn't venture too close. Today when I passed there were some people working inside.

Weird to have a website up on the sign and no actual website. ������♂️

it redirects to this link [https://pinnaclelougheed.com/lander] automatically, and its just a blank white page

Should we buy it and sell it to them lol

Did they even get their rezoning app approved?

No, they haven’t gone for the final reading yet.

This may be a dumb question, but where do you find this information? I was on the City of Coquitlam development application website and I can see all the submitted projects and the different stages they're in, but only the basic information (approved or not). Where do you find the specific details about each project?

Are these guys a well known developer? I haven't heard about them before and from their website, they have only built 2-3 buildings in Vancouver.
