They shouldn't have put the domain name behind the trees, I had to think about what it said... thought it was German or something

And the lighting on this tower is supposed to be cool as well. 20 to 30 storey raindrops if I recall.

cool banner. shouldn't the title of this thread be u/c tho, the excavation is quite deep already.

^Done, thank you.

came across this rendering. haven't seen it before. looks good. there appears to be little lights that the very end of the corner balconies. I wonder if that's the LED raindrop thing..

It's not a bad tower. The lighting seems to have changed since the last rendering.

officedweller · #**149** Posted **Sep 3, 2008, 6:06 PM**

Yeah, looks a lot more subdued, rather than flashy.

vanlaw · #**150** Posted **Sep 10, 2008, 6:14 PM**

It looks as though excavation is complete. The excavator on Howe just moved out of the way and they're lowering bundles of rebar into the hole - good sign. Took a while to get that hole dug.

They appear to be installing a luffing crane today.

I'm wondering how long it will take to reach street level. Due to the small site I'm guessing this might rise faster than average?

Nice! 2 Luffings on the Skyline at once? Unheard of in Vancouver........and a 3rd if RitzCarlton moves into construction as it will I think. So that would 3 at once! Cool!

Any other projects that would be in a tight/restricted airspace spot and need to use one coming up? Nothing I can think of...

Here's a couple pics taken by me today. Note the demolition of the old mechanical penthouse and the creation of a lightwell/rooftop area (or just reconstruction of the area):

Cool perspective!

Thanks for all the photo updates officedweller! Hope to see this one rising soon.

I really like the design of this building. I am very interested to see how their "raindrop" lighting effect turns out. Great pictures by the way!

androo3 · #**157** Posted **Oct 22, 2008, 10:22 PM**

Anyone hear rumours of this being cancelled/hold. I hear it may have been. Anyone else? i got this info sametime I heard of RC

phesto · #**158** Posted **Oct 22, 2008, 10:27 PM**

I wouldn't be all that surprised if they build the parking and cap it at grade...this project has been in trouble for a while now.

jlousa · #**159** Posted **Oct 22, 2008, 10:32 PM**

I don't know as it sold pretty well with a lot of A-list purchasers. Contruction is also going at a rapid pace, if they were to just "cap it" they wouldn't need to be in a rush.

LeftCoaster · #**160** Posted **Oct 22, 2008, 10:41 PM**

I haven't heard anything either way. I hope we dont lose this one and RC. Then my only hope left in downtown would be Jamieson.
