You are right. I (sadly) counted wrong. But it seems to be at 21 floors to me when count visually.

Suffice to say it will be at least twice as high as now, when finished.

I always love your updates! thanks. such a great vantage point.

i can't figure out how to draw a line in iphoto but if you count about 13 floors up from where the commercial component ends,
you can see how many floors are left to build. quite a bit..

Denscity · #**765** Posted **Jul 11, 2010, 5:49 PM**

Looks like at least 20 more to go.

From the thread, I get the sense of a collective, unspoken wish that The Georgia will be a building that "dynamizes" downtown, with height and design.
Let's hope that it will !!!

I'm happy to oblige. I can't wait to see some south-side glazing on this puppy.

It left me confused though.

That's the Four Seasons on the right and the HSBC building on the left which means I am looking at West Georgia St., yet the VAG is sideways in this pic when I should be facing it.

Photo snapped near Robson @ Hornby.
You're seeing the west side of the original courthouse building, not the later expansion south of it (closer to Robson St.) Both buildings make up the VAG.

Similar shot from Gooogle Street view:

ahh, I see now. thanks.

The problem is that the Hornby side of the old courthouse looks a lot like the front of the VAG.

Nice shots - you can really see the anfgle now.
Remember that the angle leans out til it becomes flush with/alligns with the commercial podium below, then comes back in, and we haven't reached the part where it comes back in yet.

Looking forward to seeing some glazing on the tower!

How many floors have we got? I counted around 25, am I right?

Fairbanks · #**776** Posted **Jul 23, 2010, 11:21 PM**

does anyone know if the New Georgia Hotel complex is going to be connected to the Pacific Centre Mall underground?

sacrifice333 · #**777** Posted **Jul 23, 2010, 11:39 PM**

^ I wouldn't think so.

Spoolmak · #**778** Posted **Jul 24, 2010, 12:45 AM**

I think its more around 27 or 28 floors... could be wrong tho

officedweller · #**779** Posted **Jul 24, 2010, 1:30 AM**

Pics by me today -

Is the glass in the back of the office podium representative of the glass on that side of the tower -
(DLeung's two-tone cheap-out?) - it still looks fairly mullion-free (not a contrasting grid).

I am counting 20 floors to go, roughly.
