That's a great snapshot 'cept Tequila doesn't agree with me.

I honestly don't get why so many Vancouver forummers gets excited by this building. Other than its 40 story height, which is double those in the area, it is dull and boring.

Worse yet it is on one of the city's most prominent corners, above a new subway, yet it is basically an apartment building perched on a stump of commercial. The Broadway corridor was supposed to be the city's "Second Downtown" yet this is just another suburban transit node-style development.

WhipperSnapper · #**12789** Posted **Aug 10, 2023, 2:26 PM**

I hate the massing from the bulbous, overbearing podium to the chubby point tower that will probably have many long, narrow, non corner suites. It's a boring downgrade from the high rise built form in the neighbourhood. The tower's claddimg above the podium so far is generic window wall.

It's establishing a new height precedence at the same time Burnaby is building 70 storeys tall. I don't venture too often into the Vancouver local forum. Every time height is a topic of conversation. The tallest towers existing outside of the downtown core is an oddity in North America. In my opinion, I don't think its detrimental as long as Vancouver continues delivering a high standard for the pedestrain realm. The name skyscraperpage isn't coincidental.

Same for the Squamish Nation development. Infinitely better plan than this. Still, it's piling on the density with soaring heights and there's glee that neighbourhood residents can't do anything about it. I recall the floor plans being above average. Insufficient number of elevators.

giallo · #**12790** Posted **Aug 10, 2023, 2:53 PM**

I can't speak for everyone, but for me, it's not the actual building that gets me excited, it's what the building represents for the future of the Broadway Corridor. Never in a million years did I think a 40 storey mixed use tower would get built on the westside of Broadway with a subway running under it. Any sort of really dense development along that section of the corridor felt like a pipe dream.

But here we are.

The long dormant shored and partly excavated site (due to Chinese developer Greenland’s financial woes) is showing some life after Pinnacle stepped in as a partner for the 2 phased project. The large (and ironic) ‘lake’ has been drained and equipment is arriving on site. The original purchase agreements are being honoured so worried buyers can breathe a long-overdue sigh of relief.

A new foundation permit for both phases is in the works. No renders yet for Phase 2, massing drawing is below in green (Phase 1 to its right):

This older rendering (with the 49 and 39 storey towers of Phase 1 in the centre) shows the previous Phase 2 plans on the left as a mid-rise cluster of buildings... now taller at 43 storeys.

This area and intersection looks dramatically different compared to fifteen or twenty years ago when houses and lowrise apartments mostly dotted these corners.

I'm very impressed with Artist Valley's finishes. If only that was the standard for all development in Toronto. It's still a cramped, overbuilt, tall tower development but, at least, the majority of residents will have a nice facade to look out their few window options upon.
