Yeah i had some problems with the ritz carleton becuase of the fact that the angle of the ritz carleton in the image was at an angle, looking up from the street (as you can see because it appears to have a pointy roof in the render). So when I tried to put it into the downtown picture, the re-sizing didnt work out too well.
I will try to do them again at some point later, mabey with some more towers.
anyone have reasonable google earth models for wither the shangri-la or RC?

was told today by on site personnel that they're working on the swimming pool now and are about a month away from completion (however you define completion)
Wow only a month away from completion? are you sure it's not already completed? I don't see how they still need a whole month to complete the building.
anyone know when "substantial completion" is to be?

Two Vancouver hotel openings delayed
Bruce Constantineau, Vancouver Sun
Published: Tuesday, January 08, 2008
VANCOUVER - Construction issues and other factors have delayed the scheduled openings of two new high-end downtown Vancouver hotels.
The 77-room Loden hotel at 1177 Melville was supposed to open last fall but now expects to open in March this year.
The 119-room Shangri-La hotel at 1128 West Georgia was set to open in September this year but now expects its official opening date to be Jan. 24, 2009. The hotel will occupy the first 15 floors of a 60-storey tower.
Loden hotel general manager Edel Forristal said project developer Amacon has several projects in place now and has moved workers to different developments to keep things moving forward as quickly as possible.
The hotel - which features an 80-seat restaurant headed by chef Marc-Andre Choquette - will accept bookings about a month before it opens.
Shangri-La general manager Stephen Darling said the four-month delay has been caused mainly by a desire to avoid disrupting hotel guests by ensuring the project's 216 condos get occupied before the hotel opens.
He said most of the project's construction delays occurred three years ago when builders discovered more bedrock than they expected during excavation work.
Hotel Georgia officials said they're still on schedule to reopen the historic property as a 168-room hotel by late 2009. The hotel had 313 rooms when it closed for extensive renovations a year ago.

The project person said they're now working on the Pool in the upper half of the Penthouse. Wouldn't it be so cool to be taking a swim up there while it's snowing and windy?
