Does anyone know when this project will complete?

Update by me taken today.

Bonus pic from Burnaby Mountain.

I think this building is amazing. Its height and its slimness give it a great profile, and the white concrete band is a great identifier from all around Metro Vancouver. Can't wait for the rest of the buildings to go up down the street.

Great update, what a sharp looking building. Thanks!

faston · #**265** Posted **Jun 27, 2014, 4:50 PM**

Very distinctive building. I like it! Great pics, thanks.

This tower is sick.

Walking under the skytrain guideway between the Metrotowers and Metroplace, seeing the Silver and Station Square towers going up and imagining the extensive skytrain station rebuild, this location screams "You ARE downtown!"

Tetsuo · #**268** Posted **Jun 28, 2014, 1:41 AM**

Any news on the retail front?

I simply wanted to know why it is so bad, in the opinion of AudiaA3. I think the building is OK, and a lot of people seem to like it.
Just wanted to know what elements(s) render it "sick," that's all.

I think this is a case of you not understanding slang, "sick" in this context is a good thing. I'll try to give you a (bad) example using stereotypes.

Lets say there are two snowboarders/surfers. One of said pair catches a huge jump off a cliff/wave, meeting back up with his/her partner after landing the jump perfectly he/she says with a huge smile on his/her face "Dude!! That was Sick!!!" The other replies "Dude!! That was some sick hang time!!!" "Bro I know!!! That was the sickest jump I've landed all year!!!" Just then an onlooker from the beach/chairlift who witnessed the amazing feat yells "He brah(slang for bro, which is slang for brother), you're a sick snowboarder/surfer, that was some sick 🞵🞵🞵🞵 dude" The snowboarder/surfer replies "Thanks dude, that was a sick assed jump eh(I put in eh because in my imaginary story these people are in either whistler or tofino.)

I am now concerned that makes perfect sense to me as Canadian English (ok maybe West Coast Canadian English) and I don't even surf or snowboard.

Went by Metroplace in person for the first time in a while, and it looks terrific IMO. My photos from today:

Nites · #**278** Posted **Aug 20, 2014, 1:27 AM**

Looks complete.

I'm loving the new buildings being built in Burnaby. They are tall, beefy and as such, have a real presence on the area.

logan5 · #**280** Posted **Aug 20, 2014, 2:22 AM**

Has anybody moved into the retail units?
