I wonder how much longer we have to wait before the fins start going up.

It would be great if they could try out the supposed exterior panel lighting shortly after all the glass is up. I'm getting anxious to see what it's like.

Nice shot! From Burrard? Good camera no doubt. The last little bit of shangri-la going up is driving the board crazy with it's lack of quickness going up.

The glazing for the penthouse is really unfortunate. The pattern of the 'solar reflectors' is broken due to the increased ceiling height.

Having this up truly makes me wish Van had 5-10 more of these around the core of the core...it feels so good from robson to look up and then up some more.

It's crazy how much sedimentation discolors the waters of False Creek and Burrard Inlet in that last picture.
