Not sure of the status but back in February they were finishing up the rezoning for phase 2 & 3:

Quote:
If it all goes ahead, that will mean approval for six of 10 Gilmore Place towers, with three towers currently under construction at the corner of Gilmore Avenue and Lougheed Highway. That includes what will be the tallest residential tower west of Ontario, at 64 storeys.

But to get full approval for towers five and six, the city will also need to reach second reading for the rezoning in phase three of the Gilmore Place plan, located to the east of phase two. That zoning amendment – introduced to council earlier this month, is expected to see the construction of two towers on top of a commercial base.

Didn't see a more current version of the plans but an old master plan had seven parking levels.

Yes, however looking at excavated pit it goes under SkyTrain onto a south side of the track where phase 2 will be. So it might actually connect even more towers all together.

That is a big pit!

Where is all that excavated rock and soil dumped?

I know in Japan and other East Asian countries it is often used as fill for building artificial land.

Out off UBC probably there's some sea dumps if the dirt isn't contaminated.

Second most impressive pit in recent times. Brentwood mall still takes the cake. What a excavating production that was.

Cool to see this go ahead. It will make for an impressive gateway into Brentwood.

This one has been flying under my radar. Thanks for the update. It will be quite the project when fully built out. Not expecting a whole lot architecturally, but should be impressive for its scale and mass.

Sorry, I know not the best view, but the main take away here is that probably north west corner reached its bottom point. Maybe crane will be erected sometime soon.

They have to be. They're literally 60 feet below the level of Still Creek and the surrounding marsh land.

I had to check out the progress myself just before Christmas. As noted, it is a huge pit and how they are keeping the Skytrain running is really impressive.

The first photo is just for future reference on this project'simpact on Brentwood skyline.
