160 Front is #3 on the top 10 list, YSL is still in the demo phase... once it begins shoring and excavation it will be added.

The only vomitous building currently in the top-10 is 160 Front.

Burnaby is about to join the list with Gilmore Place.

why is that. its a nice looking building. it is way better than Canada House, Sugar wharf and the prestige.

WhipperSnapper · #**6905** Posted **Jul 29, 2019, 4:01 PM**

Maybe he meant it as what could have been?

I agree. The massing is horrid but, It's one of the better towers on this subpar list

I love 160 front. Judging by the renders it's cladding will be very striking. I'm also a fan of the mouths.

160 Front isn't bad imo. Canada House and Sugar Wharf are awful.

He probably means that because of the big open mouth on the facade it appears as if it's about to vomit.

You're wrong.

It's 214m which is taller than 10 Yorkville.

koops65 · #**6911** Posted **Jul 29, 2019, 5:48 PM**

It's too short to make the 10 tallest list right now... #10 is 216 metres. 214 metres would put it at #12.

The first page was last updated April 9. It is not up to date. 160 Front has begun excavating since.

This is the current Top 25 with Two Gilmore

vanman · #**6913** Posted **Jul 29, 2019, 6:53 PM**

Ok that's why I was confused.

I've actually seen the height of Gilmore Place listed at 216m so it could potentially tie for last place on the list once we get an official height.

Yeah it's the bloated massing that wrecks 160 Front for me - it really needs to go on a diet. The height is good and the exterior glazing / cladding in the renders looks nice. The "mouth" just makes me laugh.

WhipperSnapper · #**6915** Posted **Jul 29, 2019, 7:08 PM**

It lost 25 metres and maintain the same girth. The height is the problem here. It's more reasonable than expecting a developer to build a slimmer profile with a shorter tower.

travis3000 · #**6916** Posted **Jul 29, 2019, 10:13 PM**

I have always been a fan of 160 Front, I think by the renders it will be a very high quality project. I think it's going to surprise some people once built.

Canada House on the other hand......

caltrane74 · #**6917** Posted **Jul 30, 2019, 2:17 PM**

stantec is pretty much done. So it is on the list, or it might as well be anyways.

WhipperSnapper · #**6918** Posted **Jul 30, 2019, 10:34 PM**

It will take Telus Sky coming off the list too. Other taller towers will have broken ground by then.

Now with trees!

Not a fan of that cladding on the Stantec podium, it just looks awkward to me and has nothing to do with either the tower or the Arena. The glass in that last shot looks nice though.
