Thanks!
That nicely shows the parapet wall on the west half of the building.

Someone mentioned an addition to the building that formerly housed the Mini dealership. The gray one on Hamilton.

It's not really very tall - it just looks like it because it's on the edge of a view cone so surrounding buildings are under 20 storeys.

It's interesting that the tallest of the two Brava towers is still the same height although 8X will surpass it soon.

8X is topped out.
They removed the concrete pump yesterday. You can see the transfer slab 2 levels below the penthouse floors in your pic.

This photo is a little weird: Where is Brentwood Town Centre in the background? All I see is Metrotown. Doctored for sure.

You can see Telus Garden going up on the left side, so this must be 4-5 years old photo. I think you are right, though, as I cannot see anything for Brentwood. Likely they removed it to not take away attention from this project.

Forms and scaffolding removed.
You can see the double height ceiling in the penthouses.
