Well this is BC so that will never happen.

I don't believe there's any redemption possible for Tower 3.
What the hell were they thinking?

Maybe if they put a giant cloth mural on all 4 sides.

Agreed. Fritted balcony glass isn't going to do any saving.

Thanks for the Sporting Life pics.

That's the big subterranean space.
Good they got it leased.

So looks like a TD Bank on the corner there (same level as the VanCity)

Developers in BC have a fetish for spandrels for some reason.

And we have spread this style to Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, and beyond.

I think it will change colors as well. I drove by it and one side looked like the lights were glitching and flickering in different colors (green, yellow, red).

Wow. Indigo?
If it's true would be awesome

SpongeG · #**3852** Posted **Aug 25, 2019, 6:59 PM**

indigo books? they were one of the first tenants announced, but given their recent situation who knows, but they are hiring for multiple positions

osirisboy · #**3853** Posted **Aug 25, 2019, 8:06 PM**

Recent situation? They are supposed to be doing really well.

SpongeG · #**3855** Posted **Aug 26, 2019, 12:39 AM**

ya they're recent results haven't been so good. But they should pull through it, I think they have scaled back their plans for expansion in the states.

officedweller · #**3856** Posted **Aug 26, 2019, 8:36 PM**

Indigo is just another gift store, and they are expensive.

SpongeG · #**3857** Posted **Aug 27, 2019, 3:19 AM**

they're trying to be a lifestyle store which does work or has worked for them. But Season after season how many mugs with a letter on it can you have? lol their stuff is just rehashed every season, probably why they have hired a new creative director or designer person to revamp.

Anyway in that render there is a big screen for Sporting life is it just a poster billboard or a giant screen?

It's a video screen.
I hope they do implement it to cover the staircase.

Have people started moving in already? I see a lot of lights on the upper floors since last few days. Haven't seen the light feature mentioned though.

HelloKitty · #**3860** Posted **Aug 27, 2019, 9:03 PM**

Yes.. One of those boxes up the stairs/podium (not corner box) was lit up and changing colours too Friday or Saturday night. The one with crosshatched façade. The lines on the crosshatches/whatever they're called were lit up and changing colours. Interesting to see.
