hi vitaminea. If this is "market" Level 35, then no. You are part of the first occupancy

Occupancy 1 is parkade to "market" Level 35
Occupancy 2 is "market" Level 35 to top

Note that I highlight if this is market 35 because when you stand on this floor, you are actually on the 30th floor. Obviously this was done to skip some floor numbering like 13, 9, etc.

If this is actual Level 35th (market L40), then you are on the second occupancy.

Hope this is clear!

Thank you Burrardbuilder

I'm on ''market'' level 35 but I still think it would be part of occupancy 2 since level 35 was the first level of the higher level floor plans. Would you agree?

Hi vitaminea. Yes, you are correct. This is the first level of higher ceiling, larger layout units.

Lucky you! I've seen the finishes in these units and they are world class!
I wish I have some of the same appliances and cabinets at home. But they are too highend for me.

Thanks for all the replies BurrardBuilder.
Looking forward to that light feature.

@BurrardBuilder

I was wondering generally speaking, what sort of performance differences are there for the glazing used in the commercial tower compared to that of in the residential towers since commercial towers are generally retained for the long term by developers/investors.

In addition to performance, what sort of cost multiple/premium is there for the higher end and performance glazing used?

[Zepfancouver]

Congratulation Burrardbuilder to you and the your entire team on this great project. It's been a pleasure watching the progress of this redevelopment (Downtown Toyota and adjacent properties).
I bought into Anchor Point (across the street) in December of 2009 and I would like to thank The Jim Pattison Group and all involved in enhancing the neighbourhood...and my property value .

Will there be a ribbon cutting for One Burrard and Burrard Place Offices and/or Downtown Toyota, and if yes, are you able to let us know when?

Hi bb1510. Thank you for the question.

To clarify, are you asking about the differences between the glazing system used between Tower A(Hornby and Drake) vs Tower B (Burrard and Drake)?

Tower A is a combination of three types of glazing system:
From Level ~1-6 is a Structural Silicone Glazed (SSG) Curtain wall system supplied and installed by Alpro Aluminum Products. L1-6 is a combination of commericial, office, and amenity space.
From Level ~L7-L52 is a a combination of thermally enhance window wall and SSG curtain wall strip. If you look at the north side of the building, there is a continuous strip of unbroken window system. These are supplied by Starline Windows Ltd. L7-52 are residential units
From L52-55 are a new type of window system which is called a Hybrid system which are thermally enhanced curtain/window wall system. These are also supplied by Starline Windows. These floors are penthouse floors.

Tower B on the other hand are full custom curtain wall system supplied and installed by Inland Glass and Aluminum with structural steel supports provided by PMC builders.

It is quite difficult to discuss the "performance" difference of each windows as these are specific to the use and the specification of the windows which is more of a question of design. What I can say, however, is that the purpose of the window, aside from the typical water penetration, air leakage, and vapour diffusion envelope requirements, is mostly for aesthetics.

In addition, both buildings are GOLD LEED certified but only Tower A is targeting interior lighting and daylight maximization points. I guess that one big difference from the two towers.

I apologize if I seem rambling on the response, as it is quite challenging to answer the question. Its a very interesting question, however, and something that I would for sure bring up to the architect and envelope designer (when I get the chance!)

Hi Zepfancouver. Yes absolutely. There will be a ribbon cutting separately for One Burrard A, and One Burrard B. This will be spearheaded by Reliance Group, and Jim Pattison with IBI Group. Due to the uncertainty of further impacts of Covid 19 to the projects, the dates are not set in stone yet.

This afternoon...The last of the concrete patch work. What a monumental job this was for these concrete finishers.
Every painted surface (and some non painted exposed surfaces) was cleaned up and polished. Hats off to these workers

Nice addition to the Spanish Banks skyline.

Burrard Place turned out quite handsome IMO. There's just enough intrigue about its architecture that complements the Vancouver House and the rest of the skyline. And that's hard to do.

I knew that it was going to turn out just fine all along .

They must have put a second coat of paint on the mechanical penthouse - the colour looks much more even now.

I like this tower from afar much more than from up close. There are a lot of design elements that confuse when looking from up close which are diluted by viewing from further away. The concrete being painted white is a shame (instead of white pigment) but the overall effect is oddly reminiscent of Santorini's striking white buildings.

Nice tower: good job for those involved in this project.

[rofina]

I think for such a prominent tower, although quite busy, the project looks great. A net positive for the DT skyline.

[WarrenC12]

Looking good. What's the estimation on occupancy date?

I feel much the same way, I think this tower looks quite sharp from a distance or when viewed on the skyline but as you get closer some of the design details and materials choices really don't work for me.

All in all when viewed from crossing the Burrard street bridge or out in the bay she looks good, just to let the eyes linger too long!

Agreed, whole-heartedly. What is clear with this design is the intent for the building to be viewed from the bridge (i guess to act as a gateway since this is the most prominent view). Other elevations did not get the same focus and are a mishmash of treatments, balcony projections etc. I'm very pleased with the office building on burrard though, huge improvement over the 1-storey shack that was there!
