Is the tower visible from the Stanley Park Seawall yet?

This keeps rising without a lot of attention. Starting to look tall already and I wish someone would post a photo from either Melville or Trump Tower to really see it in its glory.

it's not a prominent location, but I figure that the great views and patios have attracted the tenants.

Great, looking forward to seeing it rise from that vantage point!
(no idea when I'll be in Vancouver again)

What a massive floor plate but tower looks shorter than I was thinking. It'll get there...

Trump Tower's rooftop is criminally underutilized compared to Shangri-la. Did they ever sell this penthouses at Trump?

Looks like they are starting the 3rd cube, so 3rd and 4th cubes to go.

It will have a good presence and add some needed weight to the area. Still sucks about the needless 7 metre height reduction, but it’s Vancouver, I have to stop expecting pigs to fly.

I have pretty much places all my Canadian tower enthusiasm into Toronto now (although Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa and even Quebec City are building / will be building taller than Van proper now. Only one left is Winnipeg! Haha.

As for mass transit Quebec is the place to watch, even Quebec City will be getting a tram with a downtown tunnel.

That leads into the next point, besides Ontario and Alberta Quebec is also the spot to watch for major highway projects. Along with the team Quebec City (for example) will be getting a new major highway route compete with a new major bridge and downtown tunnel.

Ahh, have to love cities and provinces that like infrastructure!

Sorry for the rant, just frustration with Van and BC is boiling over.

Oh well, I guess we have one suburban tower breaking 200m, a four lane bridge, an interchange, and 6 km (maybe 14km!) of rapid transit to look forward to over the next 5 years... really becoming of a rapidly growing metro area approaching 3 million that already has a deficit of infrastructure and housing...

Yikes, bummer alert!

While I do agree and lament on the poor infrastructure investments of the NDP government right now, Metro Van is building at an incredible pace right now. We most certainly have the most or at least tied for the most, development activity of any city in Canada and likely North America.

170 cranes I count in the city (and I'm likely missing a few in the valley/suburbs) paints an incredible picture. Masterplan projects like Oakridge, Lougheed, Brentwood, Richmond Centre, Southgate City etc... are changing the face of the region in a huge way and are only the start, there are more to come!

I like your optimism, but Greater Toronto has by far the most developmental activity in North America ongoing right now. UrbanToronto started doing a crane count, there are approximately 316 active cranes across the GTA, give or take a few. Greater Vancouver is easily second though and is equally as impressive with the amount of construction happening.

Haha ya oops I definitely meant to say per capita.

Vancouver is of course no where near cities like LA or NYC or Toronto on an absolute basis given its small size, but 170 cranes for a Metro of under 3 million is quite a large number.

Haha, yeah... sorry about that. Not going to lie I did just come back from a pub night when I wrote that.

It also perfectly coincided with reading up on Ottawa’s new tallest, the amazing rail funding / expansion in Ontario, and the amazing rail and road plans in Quebec City.

Thumbs up mcminsen ....

.... As always, a photoseries "sans pareil." You always capture the angles, the details, the progress of any construction project going, peerlessly. We see the development perfectly.

Hold on, are they already working on the last fourth box? The building still doesn't look all that tall.
