Got it, hence the "X" in the name.

The marina is going to ruin that picture.

Harbour Green 2 looks alot like the Marriot Pinnacle in that pic.

Agreed.

jlousa · #**272** Posted **Jun 9, 2008, 9:14 PM**

Here are a couple of yet unreleased renderings. Pretty sure its safe to post as there isn't anything in them.

LeftCoaster · #**273** Posted **Jun 9, 2008, 9:26 PM**

Great! thanks.

I've never really understood why there are some 'unreleased renderings'. To me it just seems like free publicity. Especially with a public project like this one.

The plaza looks great, I didn't realize it would be quite that large.

deasine · #**274** Posted **Jun 10, 2008, 12:50 AM**

it would be cool if there is more grass there HAHA [as in the plaza]. dont' like the marina now -_-"

mr.x · #**275** Posted **Jun 10, 2008, 12:54 AM**

That looks utterly amazing, the plaza space is huge....something we definitely need in this city.

I'm still not too sure about that marina, it's a huge distraction from the convention centre.

excel · #**276** Posted **Jun 10, 2008, 8:17 AM**

great renders!

still find it complely underwhelming. They should have put a hotel and office tower on top.

mr.x · #**279** Posted **Jun 10, 2008, 8:37 PM**

If only it had this design (the new Vandusen gardens pavilion)....except that it's 100 times bigger:

Nah... we have lots of those and this provides a great waterfront space without blocking views and light 30+ stories up.

Also, this way we get a building that isn't just another tower or just another convention centre. It looks like Vancouver is already getting some pretty serious conventions it wouldn't have otherwise gotten.
