I don't think it's video, based on the render from their website:

I'd like to see billboards above the sign

What black part? you mean where it says "Pacific Centre"? That's just a temporary banner...

I watched them install the whole thing, and while I can't be 100% sure, I think the it is interconnected video screens. It is currently covered with a protective plastic coating with an image of the Pacific Center name and some graphics. The image on the plastic indicates it's high definition video. Time will tell, but it's for sure not the same as in the render PC has shown above.

The rendering looks like what they installed (curtain wall), then removed.
If it's a video screen, it's a last minute change from the rendered design.

There's a bit of a black "frame" surrounding a recessed area with the new as-built,
and they just have a temporary paper poster pasted to the wall right now.

If it was to be a backlit sign, they should have been able to install that right away.

Still, just speculation on my part.

My pic of the runway set-up.
A bit hokey just being on the sidewalk:

The sidewalk on Granville fronting Nordstrom was so squeaky clean this morning you'll think it's Singapore! Even the pigeon square next to City Centre station was scrubbed as well. Needless to say, no pigeons were around. Not sure about now though.

urbancanadian · #**2094** Posted **Jun 18, 2015, 5:40 AM**

So nice to have this part open again, thanks for the pics! Retail architecture (storefronts, interiors, etc.) has really improved over the last few years, so I love checking out new stores for that when they open. The Ted Baker store looks good, I will have to check out the rest tomorrow.

BTW, what's with the "—" sign behind the security guard in the last pic lol?

Cigarette — disposal. The hole at the top is shaped like... well you can guess.

I'd like to see sidewalks a bit like this down Alberni Street, and maybe Robson and Thurlow as well.

I saw drilled holes in the stone above the rotunda entrance - so I think they'll be installing NORDSTROM signage soon.

There's also a big Nordstrom poster/billboard at the top of the new escalator to the mall.
