CBC/TV Towers | 87m & 63m | 31 & 21 fl | Completed

I think these will be pretty nice towers - certainly different form the norm.
The rounded corners remind me of the office towers at Eaton Centre in TO - but with balconies.

Thanks.
The curve on that side of the TV Tower complements the curve of the Library well..

Thanks for all the recent project pics SFUVancouver! This project is rising pretty fast now. I'm really interested in seeing what they look like when done. It's sort of hard to get a realistic mental image from the renderings. But even still the renderings suggest they have the potential to be one of the better looking condo projects in the city.

I wonder why they started with the shorter tower...

[officedweller]

Access is from Cambie Street - so from that perspective, the shorter tower is at the "back" of the site so the foundation work would be done first.

^^I guess you don't wanna build yourself into a corner...

Yeah, 5 years ago this used to be such a dead area of downtown but it's really starting to turn around with all the new residents and the revitalization of Yaletown.

a couple of random pics i took today.

Nice, thanks.
The spandrels look interesting - better than just vertical lines. 3 shades of gray (incl. black) plus red?
Odd on the library side that the balconies project out at different depths.

It's looking fantastic so far.

I bet Hed Kandi cannot wait to chime in with praise for his favourite architectural style.

Agreed but so far it's looking much better than either Coopers Quay or Mariner.
