It is a beautiful project - from the other side. Fairly bland from the south side. Is it really 37 storey's tall? It doesn't seem like it has that many storey's.
Either way. I really like the north side.

Agreed Surreal! I've heard so little of this project's construction I wondered if it was on indefinite hold. Good to see it almost finished. It's alot taller than I originally thought it would be. My only complaint, whihc I've heard from others is the south side is very bland in contrast. Is there another tall building slated to go behind it? It seems like one of those buildings in New York that has to work around competing structures and only has one signature side.
That first pic is amazing! A futuristic dream. Funny that someone posted a pic in the Canada section under the uglies thread of a building in Ontario or Quebec that looks similar but in the brutalist style.
This tower is a two fisted knockout. It hits you with a left, and then you go around the corner and BAM! It cold cocks you with a right that is right out of this world. Right on foster and partners. You have done it yet again. Moreover, I send congratulations to Vancouver, because it couldn’t have happen to a nicer city.
