This tower is appearing a bit girthier that I expected it to.

Yeah it looks a whole lot slimmer in renderings, but lets just wait till its glazed, that might slim it all out

You can see the crane form the westside & driving west on Hastings.

I really like the rounded corner on the Burrard & Nelson side. Can't wait to see some glazing here. It's getting tall fast it seems.

bulliver · #75 Posted **Jun 25, 2009, 3:06 AM**

Yep, it's a gooder.

I'm a little confused though, this is from the first post:

The new development retained and renovated part of the original 1941 built YMCA building.

The pictures look to me like it is all new construction behind a facade. Is there more to the original YMCA building here besides the brickwork?

^This image by SFUVancouver from the first page of this thread shows that a bit more than just the facade was retained, though not much more.

Cool, thanks. Hard to judge the depth there, but not much I guess.

It's the front brick facade and little less than 2m of building behind that facade. Frankly, I'm not sure it was worth the added time and construction costs to work around a brick wall and miniscule sliver of a building.

I had my doubts about this building... but I think it'll actually be quite something and have some incredible West End, Spanish Banks, & English Bay views.
