This flythrough shows the top part of the corner not covered by the mesh.

They installed a 20T tuned mass damper on Level 41

We recently had Gradient Wind Engineering at Richards and Drake to hoist a 20T Tuned Mass Damper up to Level 41.

Because of the tower's long, slender shape, it catches wind like a sail. Without intervention, that sway could be disorienting for residents and potentially make them feel seasick. This damper is precision-tuned to the structure's resonant frequency, acting as a kinetic shock absorber to cancel out the motion.

This sounds like an expensive build for social housing. These are ridiculous floorplates

Thanks.
Good shot of Seymour & Davie, too.

What's being built with the red crane across the street from the park?

Hopefully the final design won't look so drab.

Interesting it has a damper. Do any other towers in Vancouver have one?
