I like the triangular reflection of the flared corner in the concave facade facing east. I think this tower will provide endless opportunities for photographers to get interesting angles and reflections.

Any lighting feature of the building crown? Would be spectacular if it does.

The Douglas Jung building (401 Burrard) in the foreground juxtaposed against the graceful lines of the MNP tower.

Dec.25 '14, my pic




As I was lining up this shot of the Nike statue on West Cordova I came to a better appreciation of how subtle the vertical curve is on the north end of the MNP tower (to the right of Nike).

Great shot.
Brentwood's skyline and the hills and mountains in the background centre just add to it.
Imagine the same angle when Solo and Shape projects are all complete. Altus at 175m and those 186m twin towers will given Metrotown a run for it's money as the most impressive secondary skyline seen from Downtown.

Certainly is an exciting time for Vancouver, and the whole GVRD as well!

Great shot Delirium - very cool angle.

My photos from today - I can't quite make out what the roof is being cladded with.

Attached is close up of roof north side. The roof is constructed from metal tubes, about six inches in diameter; I saw them close up when they were on a truck on the ground a couple weeks ago.

Interesting angle of the building from the roof of 401 Burrard at night:

Cool shot.
At first I thought the bottom was a reflection, then realized it must be through a screen wall.

Only today I noticed those two darker windows at the top of the building. Are those also somehow broken and to be replaced (like we hope the case to be with 980 Howe)? How come it seems to be so difficult to have consistent glass even on a brand new building. I REALLY hope they will replace them, as they look pretty bad in live.
