I still love that mural. What a treat for the City.

Which building is that?

Edit: Duh.

I'm assuming it's the Charleson.
The 501 across the street is also ONNI, but it was built in the 1990s.

The Mark on the other side was also Onni, but you're correct Strata Plan EPS 4774 is the Charleson.

Hell hath no fury like people who paid millions to live in an ONNI building.

The Charleson also has nicer marble (which has large book-matched panels).

This afternoon, steps being demoed at one of the best executed stone/tile/marble work at a building's entrance. I will check out its progress next week.

officedweller · #**449** Posted **Oct 10, 2024, 8:37 AM**

Maybe installing a ramp?

dleung · #**450** Posted **Oct 10, 2024, 3:51 PM**

I always thought this entrance was incredibly mean for a 42-storey tower, with barely 9 feet to the 2nd floor. They really couldn't sacrifice one unit for a double-height lobby?

officedweller · #**451** Posted **Oct 10, 2024, 4:22 PM**

Agreed.
Vancouver House's entrance is even less inviting.

Damage from skateboarders? Google Maps shows a lot of the steps cracked in the most recent streetview.

Aug 2018 Two top sections are broken. 2022 there's a few broken front lips. I assume they just replace them with plain concrete

The Richards side is flush with the sidewalk so I don't think they need a ramp though the planters seem to block access for a wheelchair to get by. They seemed to have been moved there in the past year or two .

jollyburger · #**453** Posted **Oct 10, 2024, 10:26 PM**

I think it was supposed to look like this.

Even the alley side seemed to have super high ceilings (image is too large to post inline)

Replaced with more durable tiles?

officedweller · #**455** Posted **Oct 26, 2024, 1:09 AM**

Hmm I don't see how thin tiles would be more durable.
The tiles seem to have a thick base of grout under them and are tilted forward (to drain water).

jollyburger · #**456** Posted **Oct 26, 2024, 1:27 AM**

Unless they support the lip of the tile it'll probably just crack off again.

Zepfancouver · #**457** Posted **Oct 26, 2024, 6:34 PM**

Maybe other reason for the replacement (fix) or a one time damage by rail riding skateboarders, those planters are now blocking their launch path onto the stair railings. I will post the final product.
Maybe these guys are responsible for that damage

jollyburger · #**458** Posted **Oct 26, 2024, 10:14 PM**

I don't think the handrail with how it was placed would have been used by skateboarders much since it's so short.

The original material seemed very thin with a weird lip and hollow space behind it. I think it's the same material covering the planter beside it. Right after they finished construction August 2018 there's already a broken step on the far right inear the Charleson sign/sidewalk.

Zepfancouver · #**459** Posted **Nov 7, 2024, 4:27 AM**

My apologies for my obsession on these steps. I walk by them once a week (weekly Canna Cabana thing). We will have one more update.

jollyburger · #**460** Posted **Nov 7, 2024, 6:07 AM**

The original ones looked a lot cleaner. It will be interesting to see how noticeable the gaps on the face of the steps will look.
