I believe there will be a green roof on this slab?

Have just heard from an unreliable source that green roof will be a 2 hole pitch and putt golf course (see diagram)

Amazing!

^^ It's a dog park.

If it's a dog park just expect gravel. Dog pee kills all the greenery.

The tilt of the roof is reversed in the as-built compared to the model.
The grass faces east, rather than west.

A quick walk-by yesterday afternoon (my picture).

Glass looks great. Thanks for the pic.

Let's compare the cladding to Vancouver House's "sister building", the Telus tower in Calgary:

I think ours will be shinier.
(aluminum under the plastic wraps, I think?)

osirisboy · #**1152** Posted **Jun 27, 2017, 12:46 AM**

Yeah will be interesting to see it with the wrap off

Dimswitch · #**1153** Posted **Jun 27, 2017, 12:54 AM**

My pic last Weds, some might think this floor collapsed

That doesn't look like the model of the approved scheme. It looked like this. (From the Changing City blog)

Will be so awesome if Eataly comes here, although ideally the chain should be smack in the City Centre for maximum exposure. I'm just biased for wanting something nice in my neighbourhood.

Thanks.
I wonder why they changed the orientation between versions?
