The second crane is being dismantled this morning, March 1. Looks like the tower crane will be around for a while.

Looks like the mechanical penthouse will add quite a bit of height to the shangri La. Also, the glass is moving up quicker then I anticipated.

That first shot is sick, wicked, and nasty.

Those pics *really* give a good sense of the height. Can't wait to see the Ritz Carlton in that view, too!

great shots, the first and the last one really show how much taller it is than the other buildings around it.

I never really realized how small the terasen gas building is. In one of these pictures it looks as if it's only about 100m tall.

I like that Hastings/Thurlow vantage point - it just looks huge when you walk up that bit of hill there towards dunsmuir.

Weird that it doesn't look 100m in all the pictures... cause it is.
