Pretty much topped out, and literally the exact same physical height as Metroplace.

Hot damn! Nice photo.

As more and more towers rise in Surrey, we're going to start to see more photos from this vantage point, and that makes me incredibly happy.

Yeah!! Super cool view of how metro is burgeoning.
A question, please: where is the precise vantage point from where the photo was taken? Thanks

Now that this and other buildings in metrotown have broken the 30 storey barrier it definitely make for a more interesting view from the surrounding communities all around the greater Vancouver area

It was up for a long time after the building was topped out. I wonder what they were using it for the past few months? It was a spectacular part of the Metrotown skyline for a long time:
