Feel bad for the people that paid such a premium for this tower. For one its meh. For two, this end of town is not looking great lately. Its never been amazing, but its gotten more sketchy in a hurry.
Some nightmare stories coming out of the Rolston with break-ins and flood damage due to people looking for metal I presume.
Grim reality and not one I would be paying $2000 a sq/ft to live in, but to each his own.

I agree. The Davie/Burrard area has sure gone downhill. It wasn't heavenly in years past but it's much closer to hell now.
And the metal theft / floods you mention: one more reason why condo insurers are bailing out of the business altogether or else raising coverage costs dramatically. And yet the government instead tries to shunt the blame on the so-called greedy insurers.

Yikes! is right... That's another construction work stress (weather conditions). Not a pleasant way to start a work week.
A possible WorkSafeBC visit, more paper work, a shakedown of safety work procedures, etc., etc., etc.
Those look like heavy plywood sheets flying. They could have easily kill someone, so I am sure WorkSafeBC will be paying them a visit.
The winds were super strong yesterday and really pounding on all tall buildings. Sometimes following these storms I end up finding something from one of our neighbors balconies on our balcony.
Looks like they may be on the last floor/roof (or maybe 1 more, if it's on higher ground).
This tower is 1 floortaller than Grosvenor Pacific, and it looks like it's up to the roo enclosure of that one.

Pic by me today.
That level below all the forms looks like it has a thicker layer of concrete. I guess that's the floor for the penthouse (level 39)
The April 13 shot looks like they had forms for the 38th floor counting from the end of the podium (floor 8)
I was wondering if that thicker slab was the roof, but then they erected the forms above.
So there may be 2 penthouse floors to go.
The model shows no balcony on the NE corner of the top floor, but I can't tell from my angle.
Another floor would be nice so I don't see the mechanical penthouse of The Pacific.
