CF Pacific Centre Developments

[dreambrother808]

It’s more cohesive with the rest of Pacific Centre. The glass doesn’t come across as green to me. I wonder if the towers on Pender will be reclad next.

Any additional information? a birdy shared that the plans have been submitted/approved for the replacement of the atrium.

The darkest 'smokey blue' was chosen. It doesn't look that green in person, yet it seems quite 'condo green' in the pictures. I wonder why.

There's one floor with lighter coloured window blinds that looks off.
The darker blinds look better.

The darker blinds are building standard, the lighter blinds belong to a specific user within Cannacord.

I'm starting to like it

The lighting feature is pretty great, too.

Another level revealed.
That one set of lighter blinds messes up the look, but it's becoming less noticeable now.

Ideally the lighter blinds will be addressed, but it's a bit out of the Landlords control.

That’s it? Oh man. Moving almost as slow as Empire Landmark.

It would be more interesting if they finished it overnight?

I’ll admit I don’t know the first thing about switching out glass, but it seems like something that could move along a lot faster.

There are probably logistical issues inside with people working even if all the materials are brought in and installed from outside.

Exactly. The workers only have a small window of time every night to remove and replace the glazing units.

If the building was empty it would have been complete a while ago.

It looks like a before picture of a building that's about to get reclad

It looks great in person. Loving the light feature as well. This was sorely needed.

It does have appealing details, but too bad they chose clear glass that makes everything look messy. From a distance it won't be too striking: like a regular Yaletown condo without the usual balconies. The old glass colour had more character: they should have chosen coloured glass instead: something blue, or even copper-tinted that is highly reflective would be awesome.

One great feature, like phesto said, would be the LED lighting, but the effect isn't as great, and kinda wasted on a short building. Why can't they do that on the Shangri-la or other more notable towers?
