And since they also happen to sit within the designated Metrotown "Downtown" core allowing for density, it means you could have a cluster of very tall towers straddling Central Park on one side of the boundary, while on the Vancouver side you have pockets of much shorter towers that are height restricted by a tower that's not even visible anymore since it's dwarfed by all the neighbouring (Burnaby) towers.
It's truly bizarre.
....and sort of funny.

i think its funny and shows the CoV in a perfect light of how it does development.

Didn't BC Tel build right at that spot because they had problems getting their tower built in downtown Vancouver?
