I new the crane was to low to drop the units into place (wasn't able to capture the drop in). Now I see how they move the Hvac units into their places, there's a gap or passage way to move them into position.
officedweller's last post would have been a good angle to view the placements.

Are those metal coloured things on the top ledges of the concrete bird deterrants or something else?

Here's a closer look...Looks like a weather wrap. Birds are welcome to do their thing on these ledges.

I just walk by the site now and the BMU is in the work yard. Maybe ready for hoisting up tomorrow?

^Thanks. There's a really great vantage point of downtown from an elevated park at West 1st and Creekside. I've rode my bike passed this spot countless times and never noticed this little park til today.

BMU Installed

Nice cityscape shot! vanman. Your straight on capture Post #1949 of One Burrard shows us that the BMU is well hidden up there.

This video might be painfully long for some (urbanphobians and some tree hungers), but it's to short for me and hopefully also to short for the SkyscraperPage community.

Great photos vanman, I had a place at Harbour Cove and always loved the views, but Harbour Cove strata had to pay the developer after the condo was built to keep Creekside Park and preserve the views from further development.

The specs quoted on the webpage sounds about right, but the model drawing looks off. The carriage (or turret) looks small compared to the one installed.
We should see it in action in the near future by the concrete finishers. A section of the fin (a few floors, near the top) still needs to be patched and polished.

There were ads for '2 Burrard Place' (not 'Two Burrard Place') in Friday's Globe and Mail.
https://2burrardplace.ca/

Note the inconsistency in naming with 'One Burrard Place'.

The different take on the bldg's name plate, I like. The number 2 here is appealing, It has that roaring 1920's look (Art Deco).

It's also on the website - but the inconsistency is obvious on their webpage too.
But I suppose none of the 3 buildings even look like part of the same project, so why try?

Nice to see the second tower following although it will be quite unremarkable. Stupid how they couldn't name it consistently.
