And slightly less expensive than Meinhardt up the street!

So... the spandrel is actually slivery blue? And not coppery like in the renderings?

The white is a protective wrap.

The final finish with the raised edge is exposed on the NW corner of the first residential floor.

Cladding looks true to the renders. Awesome.

This tower looks awesome rising up as you're driving down south on Granville bridge towards Broadway.

But you can't help feeling like it's missing a companion tower on the other side of the road, and you just hope the lot across the street on the west side of Granville may one day get redeveloped ( I believe it's designated as a heritage building, though. I could be wrong about that and it might be other one to the south of this site.)

That way you would have a great southern gateway to Granville bridge famed by two towers as a compliment to the northern gateway framed by Vancouver House and its soon to be constructed companion across the bridge on 601 Beach Crescent Ave.

I wonder what's going to happen to the lots immediately to the East of this site that's currently being used as staging for the Broadway subway station construction and for this project, once construction is done.

Does that city own those or are they just being temporarily leased for the duration of the joint projects?

Great close up shots. The white (bare metal?) sections are the copper colored braise soleil panels and the black is the still wrapped grey spandrel.

The building on the NW corner is not heritage, it was only built in 1985. What is heritage there is the Dick Building on the SE corner.

The land east of 1477 that is being used for construction was discussed back on page 5 of this thread. A developer bought what the city did own and assembled it into what is now 1431 W Broadway. Translink owned, and likely still owns, 1421 & 1409 W Broadway at the far end of the construction zone.

In theory, the clock tower and frontage could be integrated into a tower, as could the Dick Building... but IMO the Structube down the block should vanish first.

madog222 · #**132** Posted **Jul 22, 2023, 10:17 PM**

There is the heritage Edwards Block along Granville there beside the Structube. Thought for the corner redevelopment it's probably more ideal to extend along Broadway than down Granville. The clock tower can go while retaining the 1920s facades along Broadway to the west.

I was in South Granville yesterday, so I shot this video of 1477 and the station. Enjoy!

What floor are we on in this photo? 27?

I've been liking how normal it looks in this location.

If by normal you mean the banality of it, then sure.

madog222 · #**137** Posted **Aug 2, 2023, 6:24 PM**

Looks like 25th to me, the first floor of the residential tower above the podium is level 12.

Ah yes I might have counted some non-existent commercial floors. This looks good from all angles kind of like when Rise went up at Main. It just becomes a part of the urban fabric right away.

jollyburger · #**139** Posted **Aug 2, 2023, 7:00 PM**

Isn't it 24?

Level 01
Level 02 Transit
Mezz Level
Level 3
Level 5 Crossover floor

The roof of the podium is Level 10 and the base of the first residential level?

https://council.vancouver.ca/20220301/documents/rr5.pdf

They have the offices listed as Levels 4-8

Jollyburger is right, I'm off by one.
