Looks like the tower part won't start "bending over" until about the 12th story or so?

Looks like they're starting to excavate in the area between the Howe Street ramp and Granville Bridge.

Here you go. Good pic!

I tried a couple of things. First I just tried right clicking on your image to get the image address and then using the "insert image" thing but it still came out big. Then I tried right clicking again on your pic and choosing "add image to Photos", which is my photo editing app. Then I was able to upload it to my Imageshack account where I can choose various sizes to use. Sorry, I'm not sure how it works on Imgur.

*snipped*

Can someone remind me why Concord can't build like this around the Georgia & Dunsmuir viaducts?

Thanks!

I drove over the bridge the other night and this will loom HUGELY over it.
Its presence is already established - with only some rebar and a floor above the bridge deck.

Stubborn politicians from the early 1970s who can't let go of a "movement".

..because they can build more buildings and sell them for more money without the viaducts, just wait for when they start selling "the last waterviews in vancouver (yes, again), next to the biggest park, blah blah
They can surely build around ramps too when they have to - check One Pacific and The Arc

Well they'll eventually remove that onramp as well so it's a moot point.

when is this predicted to top out? 2018?

There are no plans to remove the onramp.

Talk about big, convoluted and complex.

Thnaks!

I wonder what's going on with the lowest balcony on the south side (?).
Looks like tar paper or waterproofing (?)

Maybe it will have a garden?

[officedweller]

That could be why.
