Is that a question or a statement?

This is the crown prince of an oil-rich quasi-empire we're talking about. $5 million, $55 million, he doesn't care. If he likes, he buys.

Metro-One · #**1128** Posted **Aug 27, 2014, 2:24 AM**

Can we talk about the MNP tower again, any pictures? I am really excited to see some glass on the crown.

Dubai isn't oil-rich.

I was surprised to find that out; indeed, Dubai has nearly exhausted its petro reserves and is basing its economy otherwise, as in this thread:

Any more non- MNP tower comments will be removed.

Delirium · #**1134** Posted **Aug 27, 2014, 8:05 PM**

here's a bunch from today (hard getting good shots because of the sun)

officedweller · #**1135** Posted **Aug 27, 2014, 8:44 PM**

Nice, thanks.

That's the first shot of the Cordova side canopy.

Denscity · #**1136** Posted **Aug 27, 2014, 10:09 PM**

Mmm, glossy glass.

trofirhen · #**1137** Posted **Aug 28, 2014, 2:57 AM**

If there were a beauty contest for the top 4 most beautiful new or recent towers in Vancouver,
where would MNP place? And what might the others be? Just an idea.

uzi · #**1138** Posted **Aug 28, 2014, 3:34 AM**

first will be mnp ( the only thing that bothers me is the height)
second will be one wall ( I love that building)
third will be Trump ( that twist really looks cool)
fourth will be private residences and hotel Georgia.

Hey cool!! Total agreement, 100%, even about the needed extra MNP height.

What about Vancouver House?, I think it belongs in the top few.
