I like how for about $1 million you can buy something as pathetic as my current renovated 1960s rental

I noticed the other day you have a great view of this building all the way up Oak street from as far as around 49th. 5(?) kms away.

Yeah it lines up fairly straight on for most of Oak Street.

Revery got featured in some Italian architectural magazine and they showed the earlier split building massing

Also remember the original Bing Thom design for a conjoined tower at Abbott and Pender that was also called The Butterfly.
Can't find a rendering anymore though.

Nice, thanks!
Its floorplate was more butterfly shaped.

A lot of dark units still, but the Church was shining brightly last night.

Amen . I'm not praising the quote "A lot of dark units still" just affirming. Thanks for the photo posting RDW989

I'm looking to capture the last 2 tree pottings, instead I captured a teardown.

I will post an evening shot later, for a breezeway lighting update.

Breezeway lighting update. Still on up to the 44th floor.
I'm thinking by Friday they will have the second to last tree planted and breezeway lights on up to the 47th or 48th floor.

This evening - June 04, 2025

I wonder if the breezeway lights attract a lot of bugs.
I get a lot when I leave the window next to my lamp open.

How high does a flying insect go? My thinking on regular crawling insects, the higher the floor you are on, the less insects you will encounter, don't know if that is a fact or not.

I'm on 26 (legitimately 26th floor) and I get lots of ladybugs, moths and leatherjackets attracted to my floorlamp near the open window.

Yeah, 26th floor of my condo building near Yaletown, not Butterfly.
During Mothageddon a few years back, there were moths plastered all over TD Tower, too.

The very top floors are enclosed for some reason. I wonder if they'll be lit up at night too. And it bothers me they didn't tint the glass on the very top of the building.

Being exposed to the elements is for poor people (who can't afford a penthouse in one of the tallest residential towers in the city)

It's because on those levels, that area isn't outside a suite, it's internal space inside a suite.
