Glazing update - my photos, Feb 27:

Nice, thanks. The horizintal mullion is better placed on the upper floor with the glazing (not as close to eye-level).

The restaurant is supposed to be David Hawksworth's long-awaited restaurant.

I love the look of this tower, and the fact it actually has decent height.

Also, i love that Hotel Georgia sign in the second render. I really hope that is built.

The World might just explode if something gets Hed Kandi's seal of approval.

Bentall 6 (745 Thurlow), The Mark, a few more things in the Granville bridge area, and that should take us right through to Jimmy Pattison's Toyota dealership on Burrard. That sound about right, everyone?

Based on a single panel of cladding, you're initial criticism was a bit premature eh?

Anyway I agree that the lack of spandrels looks good so far.
