Love the height increase, but I also agree the tower design needs to be upgraded. It does look better in the model shown above than in the render.

Anyways, if people are worried about loosing the view of the mountains from QEP then they should be more concerned with the local trees growing into the view than these new towers. Also, I always thought the point f the view from QEP was to look down onto Vancouver city, with the mountains only being a backdrop to the tower focal points? There are no limits on the number of areas one can get good views of mountains in BC, haha, but there are limits on good views of a pleasing major city skyline.

PS, if you really want your blood to boil read the comments below the CBC article. Sigh...
