Landmark on Robson | Completed

[scryer]

I wish it was being replaced with one tall tower . God knows we have the market for it.

I bet that if a taller or a tower just as tall as the Landmark was proposed, we would all be having a different discussion.

I'm curious what the seismic rating of the tower is. Is it poured in place or made from precast panels?

It would not change mine at all. Because it would not change the fact that there are countless lots of low rises perfectly suitable for such towers as well.

Again, this is a landmark tower that if left will surely be seen as a heritage structure in the future.

My dad was an engineer, and I think he said the seismic rating had to be around 7.2 for most newer buildings (when I was a young kid, of course).

Good to know!
