So far all we have seen is a blurry render.

Alright then.

I would go so far as to suggest that Woodwards w43 is the best looking and coolest building to be built in all of Canada during the 2000's (2000-2009)
Heres some more great shots of it;

That building is by far the coolest modern highrise in vancouver. Perhaps the best looking modern skyscraper built in the nation the 1960's.

[Symz]

That building is pretty cool, it's soo different than what you usually see, very neat.

[jlousa]

Thank guys, I really enjoy living there and I agree with you that it's one of the most attractive buildings built in recent years.

[Wooster]

Yeah, Woodwards is a gem.

[Calgarian]

I think Shangri La is a nicer building, but Woodwards is pretty damn cool. You don't see buildings with lots of ornamentation anymore, so it's cool to see and makes it fairly unique.

I love Woodwards as much as everybody else here, especially the flatiron side.
Hopefully the vines slowly crawling up those red panels eventually fill out completely as indicated in this rendering:

Ya that's my favourite part of Woodwards, in a way the building isn't even complete yet!

Easily my favourite residential building in the country.

Jlousa I think the only problem with living in Woodwards is that it doesnt have a view of woodwards.

[jlousa]

That's true but I have a view of it from work.

I would sell an organ to live in woodwards! What a beautiful building and such a unique concept inside and out, including the common area.

[renthefinn]

Once all the greenery is filled out on Woodwards, I think I will buy a place there.... It's nice as is definately one of my favourites...

[Rico Rommheim]

Regarding the Woodward, I can't find it in the diagrams??


Also, can someone post a pic of hamiltons skyline as seen from the waterfront? I've never seen that.

[sonysnob]

Not Hamilton, but Ontario nevertheless. This is London on a not-so pretty winters night.

That is cool but I'd be happy with just having the exposed metal.

[vanman]

^ I believe it was designed so that if the vines failed to take hold the building would look great regardless.

[Andrewjm3D]

Well then they've passed with flying colours. I won't say it's the best because that's almost impossible to do, but it is one hell of a solid design. Top Shelf.

Am I the only one who thinks this building would look great in New Orleans near the French Quarter?

If it is in Vancouver, it will grow! You can practically drop a seed on pavement and it will grow in that city.
