Beautiful pic, thanks for the update. Looks like the redressing of Governor's Tower is almost done too.

This is a really cool looking building, and it is a good thing it is in a prominent location (easy to see) on the False Creek waterfront

Nice, thanks.

On the water side of the tower, I noticed that the concrete wall with the round window varies in width as it goes up the tower (widens a bit then tapers back down) - the other sides don't seem to do that. Is that a design element?

update from yesterday by bubbaho on flickr.com


these are from November but still a nice view. the erickson really completes the area well. i'm so glad it's not another typical looking condo.

Great pictures...looks like there is plastic wrap or something around the first two floors above the podium.

It's crazy how Richards and Homer are entirely condo-ized now!

You beat me to it. I was going to comment on the 1st aerial pic as well. I almost thought it was Manhattan! Downtown's coming along...now only if we can get head companies to build their office towers here in Vancouver...we'd be all set! Enough of the Live first in downtown, we need people who work there too. Anyone know what the updates on office(s) are? What about the Bentall 6 - I heard that was proposed? Was it?

Anyone know if there's a delay in the shipment of the windows?
i.e. are they plastic wrapping so they can start finishing work inside before the tower envelope is enclosed?
