anyone know how many more floors to go on this one?

Facade Builder · #**605** Posted **Jul 21, 2021, 9:33 PM**

Pour for 33 complete. 10 more to go.

It's becoming visible from English Bay
- it'll become a high point replacing the Empire Landmark until a taller one is built.

thanks...its going to be very visible and sculptural

Klazu · #**608** Posted **Jul 22, 2021, 5:26 AM**

Ten more floors means a lot more height to come still. It is going to be very visible until the area builds up, after which it won't be almost visible at all from West Georgia Street.

What a cool angle! This is a masterpiece in making. Unlike Vancouver House, this building will look fantastic also inside! I hope they will deliver on the quality promises.

Agreed! Looks fantastic so far. The shape is unlike anything.

The interior renderings were amazing.

That is indeed the hope.

But this is Westbank after all.

Those Heatherwick towers will eventually block that angle.

Klazu · #**614** Posted **Jul 31, 2021, 4:17 AM**

Tall towers will block many buildings in the area from being seen from West Georgia Street but I think this tower will be helped by the short office building in front of it likely remaining as it is.

The building with the curved balconies is Devon Gate on Denman, above the Spokes bicycle rental. I think the photograph must be taken from Lumiere, between W Georgia and Alberni. You're correct; that view will be blocked by four towers. The Heatherwick pair are closer to Lumiere, and then beyond them are Westbank's Bing Thom tower on Alberni and next to that Landa Global and Asia Standard's SOM tower. I would assume there's an attempt to assemble those low rise buildings on the same block of Alberni for another tower across Cardero Street from the Kuma tower. They can always do something like Grosvenor's Pacific tower with the two houses, if they have any historic merit.

Ahh, yes, I'm off by a block.

This vertical column is the 33rd floor, the deck here is the 34th floor.
I believe this image was taken today.
