I was at Lougheed and Boundary today at about 4:30pm and saw a couple of panhandlers working the intersection. There is almost always one or two guys on the highway 1 off-ramp at 1st ave too.
Lougheed and Willingdon is a pretty major intersection with a long red light, so I'm not surprised to hear 4 guys working the medians.
I've heard word from a good source that they have pushed back their estimated completion date for phase 1 from May 31st, 2015 to August 31st, 2015.
I'm not surprised, construction on the tower seemed extremely slow through Fall 2013. Glass installation should be beginning soon, I'll try to pop by and get some pictures in the coming weeks.
When promotions started back in I think March-ish 2012 they were aiming for a January-March 2015 completion. I fully expect phase 1 to complete in Fall 2015 not August. We shall see.
The August 2015 completion date was in the amendments provided to the purchasers of Stratus.
They are currently preparing to form up the 12th residential floor, and look to be setting up for the roof of what will be Whole Foods.
Looks like they might be finally getting to a floor a week.
Glass is installed up to the 4th floor partially as of today, you need to look a the building from Rosser to see glass on floors 2 and 3.
Looks like typical condo glass -
but the ledges add some interest, and the spandrels between floors are solid aluminum (?) panel rather than spandrel glass.
That seems to be more common in Burnaby than Vancouver - as seen with The Met as well.
