Bingo. Usually the crane install is when things get changed, but looking at the last pics we have I don't see a concrete pour yet, should be relatively soon. Maybe one day I'll understand how anyone can get so worked up about the status of a building.

Dimswitch - I have to say, you are really living up to your namesake, what difference does it make??? Give or take a day or week or two when the moderators change the heading from digging to making a sandcastle......let it gooooo!!!! They WILL change it!!!!! Do we really need to hear your ever so often, predictable reminders that they are under construction or still playing in the sand? I find you irritating at the same time amusing. Maybe the powers that be should make you official 'Change the Heading guru' and give you power to do such. Good luck on that.

A long haul to clear the site ...
It takes approximately 1-minute per trip

Please see the forum rules:

Quote:

Construction Status Definitions
• Built - Structure currently exists. Construction is complete and structure has potential for use. Structures undergoing renovation remain in this category.
• Under-Construction - Structure is currently under-construction. Structural components are being assembled permanently on-site. Excavation doesn't count as construction.
• Proposed - Structure is planned to be built and construction hasn't yet begun. Includes both structures which have been approved by local authorities and those which have not (we don't have a distinct 'approved' category).
• On-Hold - Construction had begun at one point but has now stopped. This is a sub-category of Under-construction.

It so happens that the editor who keeps track of most Vancouver proposals is Whippersnapper from the Canada section. The Canada section does not follow the rest of the forum rules, so he updates the database as per the Canada section rules. Of note the Canada section is the only section that does not follow the forum rules, so they are the outliers, not the Vancouver local.

This will not be changing.

Forgive my ignorance but will the Burrard tower appear taller than the Sheraton Wall Centre or is it too far down hill from that angle?

It should appear taller. It's on a similar plane, and is 100' taller than One Wall. Of course that will depend on where one is viewing the two of them.

officedweller · #**589** Posted **Mar 25, 2020, 8:21 PM**

From that perspectiove, above, not so sure - may appear the same as Wall Centre.
For comparison, Vancouver House is a bit downhill from Burrrad Place, but 52 stories.

Ready for crane #2 (my pics, today).

RDW989 · #**591** Posted **Apr 8, 2020, 11:53 PM**

The second crane is taking shape today, April 8

It'll be interesting to see the layout of the columns underground - those look like they might follow the curved outline of the towers rather than having a massive transfer slab at grade.

RDW989 · #**596** Posted **Apr 25, 2020, 12:20 AM**

More progress over the week,

Nice, thanks.

Reminder of the site plan and layout for the core, etc:

Site Plan

Floorplans from Ground Level and up.

There is a lot of space for the church.

...

Check out the open breezeways!

Some excessively large bathrooms on this floor:
Also note the funky pivoting front doors on some units.

Happy to see I was right on this one. Looks like the exact same two cranes from Vancouver House.

That's likely; Westbank's own Icon Construction are also building this one.

LeftCoaster · #**600** Posted **Apr 29, 2020, 7:17 PM**

I guess Icon self performs their forming then if they own the cranes.
