Its a combination of steel and concrete. I'm not sure exactly which system they are using but the general idea is similar to

It is a hybrid concrete and steel structure that should be going up way quicker. The idea is its light, quick and easy - not long and extended as this one seems to be drawing out.

The progress or lack there of has been boggling my mind. I just went back, in August of 2012 a post started Excavation had begun. Its now pushing 16 months of Construction, and looking at it, I'd guess there is probably at least another 4 +/- months or more.

Jimbo604 · #91 Posted **Jan 29, 2014, 5:22 AM**

uh oh, more than a month without a Flats update

a very long weekend · #92 Posted **Jan 30, 2014, 12:59 AM**

man, that's seriously some quality infill. vancouver would benefit from a lot more of this throughout the city.

I know you're all dying to see the lightning speed progress that's been made here.

Thanks for the update. It is looking pretty sweet. The developer really has done a lot with this challenging site. Other cities would have just painted a few parking spaces on a space like this and that would be it.

So much work done now, it won't even fit in one picture any more.

Jebby · #96 Posted **Mar 1, 2014, 4:42 PM**

I'm surprised how much light the alley windows actually get.

Thanks.

I think it looks good - esp. given that they won;t all be closed at any one time.
They look better than the screens we've seen so far for 999 Seymour.

Hopefully they are aluminum and won't rust.

I wonder what the visibility is like looking through from the inside?

Also looks a bit tropical / Asian:
