PS - What's with setting height limits to no more than the old Telus building? Are we trying to respect the character of this very average building? Don't get it.
Either one of those would look awesome! The black is a nice departure though, depends on the quality of the glazing and spandrel; it will make or break it in the end.
I received this in the mail the other day and thought I would share. It's a community open house for the location of the recently sold Denny's at W Broadway and Birch.
That would be a great first step to expanding the office district south of the tracks eastwards from the new Renfrew Centre and Broadway Tech Park.
Broadway Tech Park II will be north of the tracks, and the BCLDB site will also be redeveloped (Aquilini?)
This building is so awesome and somehow my pessimism of it ever getting built prevails.
Sooner or later something will be built there, however until we see the finished product theres the looming dread of cost cutting dumbing down of design and finish quality. It would be tragic if it turned out looking like the podium of the Telus condo tower...

Welcome to the forum! That's a great substantive first post.
I think that 17 storeys is fine for that site at Broadway and Birch and it will be within a couple of blocks of a SkyTrain station one day. It would be have been nice to see it include an office component in a manner similar to several towers on Robson St. downtown.
