Hadn't seen this project in person since glass started going up and I have to say it looks awesome! I think this will be a gem for this area even if not very tall. What a great project!

i really hope the greenwalls survive and thrive. but being an office tower, i see them maintaining them better then a condo strata board.

I think they'll just be hanging vines from the slots.

Last I looked at the Telus Garden alley vines, they were a bit brown.

I assumed by the placement of the slots and the mesh they would attempt to grow up the wall.

That's what we thought originally - but it's hard to tell.

We haven't seen a top row green wall installation yet.
If it has a slot, then they hang down.
If it doesn't, then they climb up.

I don't know how well they'll crawl up the perforated metal.
Either way, it won't be an "all over" look.

Cranes are visible from Metrotown, if you know where to look.

That angle threw me for a loop! For a split second, I wasn't sure what city I was looking at.

Fantastic and unique angle. Are you going to share it in the Canadian skyline thread?

Thank you both. I also like the layers of buildings Downtown has from this angle. 753 Seymour will fill the gap on the left once completed and The Stack will add a new peak behind Bentall Center.

I think I have shared this view few times before, but an update was due. Feel free to share on Canada forum if you like, as I have given up visiting it for the most parts.

Ok, that's gotta be one of your coolest shots yet! It's got a real sci-fi movie feel to it - the lighting, the robotic looking construct - I expect to see Sandra Bullock or Tom Cruise appearing in the scene.
