Is that facing Beach Crescent or Homer?

It's facing Homer Mews. You can se a little bit of the curved roundabout at the end of Homer Mews. So, it faces towards English Bay AND the condos across the street.

I think it would look great if they could dial down the brightness by about half, but the way it is now is a little bizarre.

why is the glass different tints

What a beautiful building. Its surfaces are so dynamic and alive from certain perspectives.

The Erickson looks really futuristic! The long wait was damn worth it!

Btw, thanks Locked In for all the recent updates. I reposted a bunch of them in the Canada section, hope you don't mind. I uploaded them onto tinypic as to not use up all your bandwidth

^ Don't mind at all. The pics are posted on Picasa (Google), and I have no idea whether there are bandwidth limits. As long as I post at 800x600 or smaller, there don't seem to be any issues.

I wonder if it's just the light level within the units. Perhaps there's some blinds on the sunny side of the building that are adjusted differently in the different units.

Maybe they're applying a UV film to the glass and it's not completed in all of the units yet (seems a bit odd though as they should have done that in the glass rather than doing a retrofit.

Update on the park adjacent to the Erickson:

Very nice dock - the lamps on the dock are somewhat nautical looking.
The heritage style street lamps on land don't match anything in the area at all (they don't match the seawall lights) - another example of the city messing things up (at least they don't look like tulips or flames)
