I like the variety in this curtain wall - as long as there isn't any biege or mauve in the mix.

That first pic looks like a bit of Shangri-La made its way onto the tower.

I like this tower, and for the area it is a good height (over 140 meters) which actually puts it in the top 10 for metro Vancouver i believe. It fits in well with the Shaw Tower. They compliment each other.

Great shot. I'd never really noticed how tall the podium is along Cordova. I like it when they're a bit taller like that. I'd also never noticed those randomly placed metal beams on the left side of the podium. Anybody know what the story is with those?

Say that's a rare angle. It makes the Marine Building seem puny.

Looks good! Thanks for the pic.

Yeah, that is a very nice angle, thanks for the picture. Fairmont sure is giving some needed height in that area. Also look how nice Bental 5 is! I love that tower!

F*ck Fairmont! Bentall V looks awesome from that angle. If only it were 150ft taller.
