The most exciting development in town at the moment. Still wondering who will come into the new retail spaces in this neighbourhood.

I agree. Its exciting to see the twist and overhang take shape, floor by floor.

Next few years will be super fun to watch, some impressive towers going up around town.

They are putting up a new crane on the third triangular lot by the Seymour street ramp. So we do get to see the three buildings rising together.

Thanks for the photos. It's sure looking great. Talk about raising the bar for Vancouver architecture. If you showed me a rendering for this building 10 years ago and asked whether it would be under construction in Vancouver any time soon, I'd have laughed it off as extremely unlikely.

Thanks!

The west façade is a lot more interesting than I realized it would be.

I think the north façade will be the most boring - flat façade, I think?

thought the exact same thing

Tower looks great. Impressed at the engineering of this tower. Basically it's one big cantilever floor to floor stemming from the corner spine.

Around 20 more floors to go! This is going to look amazing.

I just can't say enough good things about this building. Absolutely fantastic.

Best looking building in the entire country!

It might just be!

The most mediocre of developments around this city used to love throwing around "World Class."

Wow - is this ever turning out world class.

All of us were familiar with the renders and models, but to see this thing to scale is insanely impressive to me.

I think it's between this one and it's inverse twin in Calgary. This one is a bit more interesting in the day and that one will be a bit more interesting at night. Gorgeous building though!

Thanks for all the pictures. The emerging sculptural shape of the tower is really starting to show, and it's going to be a truly 'iconic' building. The way it presents now is somewhat misleading, because it seems so light, as all that's visible is the protective plastic film. There's one panel where some of the film has torn away, and underneath the metal finish is significantly different, and obviously darker. We'll probably only get a real sense of what this will look like in quite some time, when it's nearly finished and we see the final reveal.

Saw this in person - I can safely say that pictures don't do it justice.

This building is surreal, I cant wait to see a few more floors on there to show the full shape.

[jollyburger]

15 or so more floors left?

I've been hoping to get a shot of the lights on the crane with my phone's camera, but could never get the lighting to work out. Finally, here's one taken at Granville Island that didn't turn out half bad.
