What are we going to talk about until then??? They could start demo of the unoccupied? That probably makes it more complicated to not demo it all at once, alas.

I can't imagine the buildings on-site currently will take much longer than 4-6 weeks to demo. No point in having crews start and stop work.

They have a new sign up on the site calling this project "Burrard Place Living". The website is not yet open: www.burrardplaceliving.com

Ta-da! Oops. Looks more like a "grand unveiling" for the Musette Cafe

Well according to the building its "still open".

[officedweller]

"Burrard Place" for a project that is largely on Hornby Street.


The word "place" is also very generic.

[Delirium]

i was able to register for the project by using their old URL which then redirected me to a new URL although oddly, both sites have now been taken down.
in any event, i did manage to get a screen shot of the home page. it's being marketed as 60 storeys. some serious height and density for the area. the views are going to be amazing.

Nice height. Design is as "Vancouver" as they come.

[Dimswitch]

60 stories! Oh no, here we go again with the ghost stories like Trump.

[officedweller]

Nice rendering - agreed that the corner prow is stereotypically Vancouver -
Can't make out the lattice in the rendering (it's more on the other side I guess).

With Vancouver House, there'll be some serious height in the area.

[Klazu]

That render has been posted before, but thank you for reposting. Imagine Tate in that view as well.

Unfortunately architecture of the main tower doesn't impress, but it's the smaller tower which look hideously plain. Any idea if they will phase construction or will it all be done with one go? If yes, it will be a massive construction...

[officedweller]

Reminder:
The east side does look a lot plainer than the west side
(i.e. due to sun shading measures on the west side)

I sense the influence of Vancouver House at work!

[officedweller]

Other way around !
This one predates Vancouver House...

[Infrequent Poster]

Well I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised, the title of this thread has the correct number of (physical) floors. 54. Cant wait to watch this one go up!

[Dimswitch]

So where did Delirium get 60 stories from?

This Burrard gateway tower is really nice similar almost in style to Vancouver house and now that VH has all but sold out (except their premium units) Burrard gateway will have some jaw dropping views and probably at a lower price point than the VH.

[Vanelevatorman]

That model looks gorgeous

I hate them all, those corner prows, the "feature" corners make the rest the buildingd even more bland-looking. Maddox, Metroplace, Melville, Modern, Spectrum, the Georgia, AND MANY MORE

[officedweller]

Yeah, since the prow establishes a designated "back" for the tower, I wonder if condo sales are impacted by the "front" and "back" designations that the architectural prow creates?

That could be a means of getting developers to push for symmetrical buildings.
