As I expected, there was indeed a far more impressive model waiting at the open house. The turn out was pretty high, but had petered out by the time I got there (I first went to the 33 Cordova project). There was some "Tower Nimbism" (Not my term) going on from the neighbouring James Cheng designed 1500 Alberni project. There was also quite a bit of support for the unique-to-Vancouver flavor of the design.
The starchitect flew in last night, is leaving on a red-eye tonight, and will be back for the UDP meeting next Wednesday. The model itself actually saw some flight time as well. For whatever reason, the applicant had the model built in New York and flown out here; which is kinda funny given that one of this project's selling features is that it will be North America's largest passive house project.
