I have asked this before, WHO is supplying all this seafoam glass and WHO keeps approving it and forcing it on this city. Name names... I'll get the lynch mob going

Guys that could be for any project westbank is doing or any project the glazier is doing.

I have no idea where it could even go on the tower. Might be for the low rise pyramids but that's about it.

There are other neutral tones out there

or i'd rather all the neutral switched out to the bronze. I kinda doubt they conveniently forgot it there.

*remember the developer has the ability to make changes to the final design, to any extent.

Let's take a deep breath, and wait. I wouldn't be worried, but after the Telus fiasco, I'm not trusting any rendering in Vancouver anymore. As far as I'm concerned, every building in this city has the potential of going full "SFG".

Exactly. Until it's built; the default colour in this city is seafoam.

I noticed the hut as well when in the area but was thinking it's for project managers to use. I doubt it goes to anywhere in the buildin? Now you got me worried, as this is Vancouver after all. The birthplace of The Holy Colorless Spandrel that shal rule the Earth. All hail!

It is by the same developer as Telus Garden so it wouldn't be surprising to see another bait and switch.

Great update.

Klazu · #**950** Posted **Sep 26, 2016, 3:29 AM**

From The Mark's sub-penthouse before excavation started. I wish I will one day have a chance to take a photograph of the completed building from this very same view (except not during a downpour).

Coldrsx · #**951** Posted **Sep 27, 2016, 6:56 PM**

Looks white to me given that most glass has a light green hue to it... should be fine and certainly does not look overtly sea-barf.

Design-mind · #**952** Posted **Oct 1, 2016, 5:12 PM**

Wow Klaus those are some amazing shots!

Vancouver House will only add to the awesome density already here. I like how this tower is utilizing space no one really thought could/should be developed.

Klazu · #**953** Posted **Oct 1, 2016, 8:21 PM**

Yeah, the above panoramic view will look amazing with Vancouver House, Tate, Burrard Place and the few other proposals completed in next couple of years. Vancouver House will also be massive and will be almost twice the height of Pomaria!

Almost fully out of the ground!

osirisboy · #**956** Posted **Oct 8, 2016, 5:02 PM**

So how deep is the excavation their doing now going to be? Wonder why they didn't do it at the same time

christmas · #**957** Posted **Oct 8, 2016, 8:28 PM**

Oh yes, get rid of them fugly utility poles!

Rocketeer · #**958** Posted **Oct 8, 2016, 9:08 PM**

Great pics mcminsen. Not sure if anyone's mentioned this before, but what's the purpose of the big opening that goes all the way down?

retro_orange · #**960** Posted **Oct 9, 2016, 12:26 AM**

I was wondering about that a few months ago too, same with the other side where the old SRO with the whale mural was, anyone heard anything?
