Pardon my 2 cents here, but ... yes!! Can't say I have much sympathy for them myself. It seems they think the city should readjust itself to suit their personal needs. (find someplace that will do that !!!)

A bit different angle from 150 meters above Downtown. This dull side of the building is going to he covered by the Exchange Tower, but fortunately the Feng Shui of the residences is not going to be impacted.

What a relief!! Most of us were concerned about that. The very future prosperity of Vancouver hinges on it.

I think it's just the glass ceiling from a strange angle. No solar panels there as far as I can see from my window.

Peeking on the right. I love the different glazings of the three office towers along northern Burrard street.

Thanks for the pics. Jameson House is fantastic from all angles, not just its "signature" side.

Excuse me, but what is that tall, white building to the foreground of it in the lower picture?
The building has an element of Carmana Plaza, but with an angular roof.
Ah, the Terminal City Tower! Its curved side complements the curves of JH.
The West Hastings canyon is developing, culminating in the MNP Tower to the west. Wow, how it looks here!
The Howe St canyon is starting, and will ramp up when The Exchange is finished.
This town is feeling more and more truly "big city" all the time.

Thank you. I love how tiny One Wall Centre appears in those photos. It's an interesting illusion there, considering that it is as tall as The Georgia and located on higher ground.

Changing Vancouver website shows that an orthodontist - "Daher Orthostyle" moved into the heritage building at Jameson House in March 2014.

You are right. I have seen many Jameson House suites on rental market, but absolutely none of them has wowed me in the photos. Also having read about the parking nightmare in this building, I have not been able to get excited over this building - at all.

Generally speaking, peak-a-boo views where the sunlight slices through a gap into your suite are terrible feng shui; when you're in one of the "bubbles" of Jameson House, there are at least half a dozen if not more of those.

That's a shame ... a real shame.
