Only the third is at nearly at ground level, and 4th going on sale in the spring.

Brentwood got to skip few decades of waiting for tower 3.

Came into town for the first time in a couple months and was pretty impressed at how significant an impact this project has on the Brentwood skyline. It's a very solid addition to metro Vancouver.

Does anyone know what sort of tenants the recent office buildings in the Brentwood area have been successful at attracting?

The Q4 Avison Young Office Market report says that none of the 52,800 sq. ft of office space due to complete in the fall in Station Square has been leased yet, and while none of the 500,000 sq. ft. of office that's part of the Brentwood redevelopment has been constructed yet, there's also no pre-lease activity there either.

The amazing stuff we can accomplish without viewcones in place.

Except the twin black towers are way taller than the Metrotown office blocks, flanked by the Solo towers, and with more to join them very soon. The visual impact of that valley is already amazing from many parts of the Lower Mainland.

Solo has snagged a few local offices, but has not succeeded in attracting any from downtown as far as I know.

Yellowpages took a big chunk, as did Capcom. Regius took a floor, maybe two.

Only 2.5 floors left now.

Yellowpages are still a thing?

I thought they went the way of Polaroids and Vinyl records and ....velcro fashion.

(j/k....
...apologies to anyone who still works for Yellowpages,....or Velcro.)

their books have, they've moved into online information and advertising. I don't know how successfully but they're there.

Yeah they owned a bit of online properties (AutoTrader, RedFlagDeals)

Quite a few random apps too, nostalgic of the old books

[SpongeG]

They sold autotrader, autotrader was sold to a British company, the British autotrader.

Props to them for adapting to the digital age and IT in general - which has taken out quite a few analogue legacy fields.

Not entirely related, but I do remember when printed sets and volumes of Encyclopedia Britannica's were a big part of my childhood growing up.

Thanks.
It's higher than the top of the spire on Altus - which is what it looks like from downtown, too.
That could be due to the higher elevation, but we also don't know actual heights, do we?

I was out and about yesterday as well. This tower is appearing so imposing in Brentwood skyline.

[Coldrsx]

Amazing difference since I worked there in 02', but my god are the Brents towers horrifically ugly and out of scale.

Matches the terrible name I suppose.

[Klazu]

I think the scale is perfect and the metal railings will change their appearance completely. It is pretty cool that the crane on tower 1 is now at over 200 meters above ground. Also second tower is rising quickly.

I hope future towers will see a redesign, like is happening with the last two Solo towers.

[Coldrsx]

^?

[Klazu]

I am sure you know these being just the first of few dozen same scale towers to come. No need to concern troll.

[Coldrsx]

Yes yes, but missing the mark for me.
