In urban areas do they want cell phone transmitters that high? Or wouldn't they prefer a denser mesh of transmitters lower down especially with 5G?

officedweller · #**2182** Posted **May 11, 2022, 12:42 AM**

Good point - I Googled and they say usually to about 200ft high.

I suppose ithe strips could just be another disparate design element.

It's a nice looking tower with clear presence and definitely a skyline maker, even as it falls short in detail.

Has the lighting feature been on already and I wonder how much the rental units are going for?

Mcminsen, thank you again for your thorough photo documentation of the buildings around town - I find that I'm able to see a lot more detail than when I'm standing in front of the building myself! And it highlights things to look at when I do go in person.

Thank you!!

I haven't seen any lighting on the spine or at the top, yet.

Zepfancouver · #**2188** Posted **May 13, 2022, 10:34 PM**

Lighting...I don't think it's going to happen. It only takes that one complaint (from a wannabe city dweller) to shut it and tear it all down.

That Burrard Place insider said there was spot lighting on the spine.

Hi, we actually received a site instruction to not power the light strip permanently. They only allowed us to power it for a couple of hours for testing.

Apparently, Reliance would like to have this lit up during the opening of the building. I presume that media will be present.

It is incredible to think that the Lougheed towers will be up to 91 meters taller than One Burrard Place.

I swear I saw the spire and crown lit up last week sometime.

Good to hear!

jollyburger · #**2193** Posted **May 15, 2022, 5:03 AM**

Yeah this Instagram post seems to suggest the crown will get lit up.

Burrardbuilder · #**2194** Posted **May 16, 2022, 2:37 PM**

Yes it will get lit up. The glass on top serves as a light diffuser (tertiary function). Those glass at the top actually covers some mechanical equipment for residential water and heating. They are designed to act as an architectural louver.
I applaud the architect for the design and the Alpro for the build.

VantageHD · #**2195** Posted **May 16, 2022, 10:04 PM**

I can't believe how good this building turned out. It has so many good angles. Hard to find something I don't like at street level or skyline view.

Klazu · #**2196** Posted **May 30, 2022, 3:09 AM**

From Vancouver Lookout few weeks ago.

Began this when I was made aware of a laserdics called "The Vancouver Disc" 1986.

I'm still not 100% sold on it, it has it's good moments and the height is a huge plus in it's favour. But some elements I'm not raving about

jollyburger · #**2199** Posted **Jun 6, 2022, 3:46 AM**

The lighting feature will save it
