I'm so jealous of the Weather in Vancouver today

I woke up to this:

Very nice pics, as usual.

The last pic is breath taking. I have to see that soon in real life. The last time I saw down town from that view was when I was in Stanly Park last April and even then I thought it was amazing.

The crane operator watches this with his binoculars...just make sure you're not standing underneath the Shangri-La crane at 4pm any weekday when the guy is busy being a voyeur.

These pictures are a bit dated. I posted them last week on this forum.

The final product of Shangri La turned out to be much more impressive than the original renderings.

Only one more floor to be fully cladded. Then comes the fins!

Man am i pumped, Thanks for the pics!

Is the diagonal side just too broken up for the pizza tables? Is that why they're not there. . .or are they there, and I'm just blind? There seems to be a picture bias against the view cone side. Guess it is the boring one. . .

The diagonal side has those hideous looking elevator shafts which are covered in plywood. That may be the reason why there aren't many pictures of it.

I can't wait to see what it looks like with the outside completely done. It's so exciting

I've always been a bit jealous of Numinous' view. I mean, I only get to see one side of it! But by the time Capitol, Patina, Georgia, Ritz Carlton are built... his view will be even more priceless.

lespoir · #**1279** Posted **Apr 15, 2008, 5:01 AM**

No offense here (the photos are great, thanks to the photographer):

I am very bored by the monotone color of downtown Vancouver with the "light ocean water color" glass buildings.

Just wonder why over the years Vancouver designers and developers have not come up with buildings, office towers or condo-hotels, of colorful scenes.

My naive observations.

Well one developer tried....ever see the Wall Centre? City Hall simply wont allow anything too dramatic, although some newer buildings are being allowed to have some different colours for decoration.
