The extra ceiling height required for those large wood beams would eat up some overall height, which is usually limited by the city. For example, a 40 story concrete building would be approximately 400 feet. If 400 feet is your height limit, you could only build say 36 or 37 stories with wood. You would lose 3 floors of units over doing a concrete structure. You also cannot embed mechanical and electrical in the wood the way you can concrete. That’s more ceiling space required for wood.

Rare stacked industrial building planned for Vancouver's False Creek Flats

The four-storey, 105,000-sq.-ft. building is located at 1055 Vernon Drive, the former site of an Able Auctions.

A local developer has launched a rare stacked industrial strata building in Vancouver’s False Creek Flats area.

PC Urban says IntraUrban Evolution is the first stacked industrial development in False Creek Flats and one of few such projects in Metro Vancouver.

The four-storey, 105,000-sq.-ft. building is located at 1055 Vernon Drive, the former site of an Able Auctions.

The building will be anchored on the ground floor by No.1 Collision, which bought a 28,000-sq.-ft. space for its high-end auto body repair shop. The building will have customizable warehouse space from 1,500 to 30,000 sq. ft., high ceiling clearance, large loading docks, high-speed freight elevators, office space on the third and fourth floors, common areas, and a rooftop patio.

Hazardous material remediation is set to begin at the property in mid-May subject to permit approval, and PC Urban hopes to begin construction late this summer, said Brent Sawchyn, principal of the development company.

He said the site was used as a bottling company beginning in the late 1920s and then was converted and expanded by the Vancouver Sausage Company in the 1950s.

Agreed.
In what world do they think they can build 35-40 storeys off Broadway?

Love the height and design, but hate the material and no-tall-zone.

Maybe this proposal dropped from another alternate universe....where nothing burns and City Hall is progressive.

They probably don't expect to actually get this height, but there will be rezoning policy to at least allow them to go for 25+ storeys when all is said and done.

There's a proposal for a 28-storey just five blocks down the street. Guess there's strength in numbers.

Where there's a beam there's a wall. 8' 6" ceiling heights - or less! Curious about 25+ stories for structural on vs concrete.

I guess they'll settle for 30?

A normal one. They just forgot that the city doesn't live in the real world.

I'm at the bottom of the hill, I wouldn't mind 35.

Kingsway’s First Moderate Income Rental Building Greeted with Laughter and Good Cheer
1111-1123 Kingsway

One of the things that gives Darren and I the most anxiety about recapping our experiences on City Duo is that we are never quite sure if people will take the time read them. That can be really daunting, considering we pour several hours into each one, and we know a positive story is not as eye catching as a negative one.

Still, it is rewarding to be told we are helping people engage who say they would not have spoken up otherwise, and we would never compromise the integrity of our writing to draw in a few views. So, I can honestly say the community response to this 13 storey building proposed under the Moderate Income Rental Housing Pilot Program was one of the most positive we have seen.

Aesop across the street looked like it could open anyday now, Bailey Nelson in the same new building is open already, the final spot is papered and not ready yet.

Not sure if this is new or not:

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/1745-west-8th-avenue-vancouver-canada-earth-tower

This is probably the upcoming project Delta is referring to:

Pineview
Strategically located in close proximity to the upcoming Broadway extension of the Millennium Rapid Transit Line, and set within a highly desirable, vibrant, and burgeoning enclave of the Fairview/Burrard Slopes neighborhood, Delta aspires to craft a benchmark mixed-use development on the site, delivering significant value, amenity, and pride to the community upon completion. To this end a world class team is being assembled to work in concert with multiple stakeholders in defining the property solution and conceptualizing a landmark scheme.

Could someone help me place the renders and diagrams?

Thank you for the great update on King Edward. What a transformation! It looks so much better, to my eyes at least, than a hodgepodge of single family homes (with a handful of exceptions).

The shot of King Edward and Cambie, looking southwest, really drives home how underbuilt Phase 1 of the Cambie Corridor is at that key intersection.
