Pinnacle Living False Creek is done. All that appears to remain is for the street trees to be planted by the City.

A shot of the lane, which differs from the standard city design in a number of ways. There are street trees in key locations where they will be able to grow without affecting sight lines or the ability for haulers to service the buildings' garbage and recycling. There are cobblestones lining either side and a concrete drainage runnel will run down the centre once the City is ready to pave the lane and complete the design. The architects for Pinnacle Living False Creek and its neighbour across the lane, Foundry, worked together to ensure that their courtyards would be complimentary to one another in terms of light access and private views and overlook, plus the garage entrance for Pinnacle Living False Creek was positioned as far away from the more lively and porous part of Foundry's courtyard. It is also likely that Pinnacle Living False Creek's garage entrance will be shared by the future adjacent project in the same manner that Foundry and The Exchange share a single driveway entrance to their separately gated underground parking garages.

LEED Gold Pinnacle Living False Creek. Their excavation progress seems to be slightly ahead of that of Wall Centre False Creek. Of course the latter has a full block long site while the former is only two thirds of a block long, and a shorter block to boot.
