Some progress on the crown - my photo from today:

Nice, thanks!
We'll soon know how high the apex will appear to be compared to Shaw Tower.

I think we are already seeing the highest point of this building. It is almost exactly the same level with Shawn Tower and Fairmont when seen from my angle.

My photos from today - dead on with Shaw from my angle.
Should look great once glazing is up on the frame:

Great shots, thanks!

These super shots give an opportunity to observe the tip-top "crown" taking shape. It hansomely rounds out the "sculpted form" aspect of the tower.
Oh but for just three storeys more ................

Loving the crown. I'm hoping the glass that they affix to it appears the same as the rest of the tower.

I hope so too. From the renders I've seen, it should turn out that way. (correct me if I'm wrong)

this tower is a beauty. cant wait to see the crown and finished product.

It is supposed to, yes.

Here is a photo of the crown as of today as seen from the Fairmont (looking south).

Klazu · #**1096** Posted **Aug 17, 2014, 9:56 PM**

Wow, that's a cool angle! Has his Royal Highness joined our forum? Welcome!

Bcasey25raptor · #**1097** Posted **Aug 18, 2014, 1:11 AM**

The building is beautiful and everything but I am a little worried about how the crown will appear upon cladding.

Klazu · #**1098** Posted **Aug 18, 2014, 3:53 AM**

Had to take a photo of the crown also myself. The tower ended up being almost exactly as tall as Shawn Tower and Fairmont.

Greetings also to Condo_Livin' on the opposite side of Downtown.

OK, just for you guys, I'll fess up - this is where I live (arrow on top of Klaus' photo). MNP has been fun to watch.

officedweller · #**1100** Posted **Aug 18, 2014, 7:30 PM**

From the renders, the crown will have a roof - so hopefully that will shadow the crown's glass, just like any other floor, and it won't be "backlit" by the sun (like many other fins).
