I too wish this had more impact on the skyline, but I am not going to complain about having a decently tall new office tower. And at least the glazing is nice and high quality, but doesn't stop it from blending in from afar.

Vancouver has a lot of nice buildings under construction but this isn't one of them.

It's too cluttered and looks like they just tried too hard to make it stand out and it does but not in an attractive way. When it comes to architecture, sometimes less is more.

I actually wish there was more differentiation in the mullions between the top 3 cubes. They look too similar.
I like the podium mullion grid the most.

I've been seeing lots of iron flying but still not in my view, soon.

Did they ever lease the bottom floors? Blakes, DLA Piper, EY, PlentyofFish and BDC.

247,429 on the lower 14 floors

Good to see he's secured - but what about the photographers?

They're all secured, they've been walking these beams all day Saturday and at it again all day today.
I don't think I would post if they were not tied off, I have this thing with WorkSafeBC, I do not want WorkSafe to get into a frenzy

I kinda wish it didn't block the best angle of Shangri-la here, which looks like a blade of glass from this vantage point. I miss this era of futurism, along with the New York Times building

I have a very love-hate relationship with this building. Depending on the angle, perspective, lighting, location i either think it's a good addition or ask myself what they were thinking. It's north facade looks much better than it's south one IMO (it was probably designed this way intentionally as it can be viewed from afar)

The cladding on those upper mechanical floors looks awful and I don't see any attachment points for fins to cover it up.

It's a solid addition in height and density to the CBD, no complaints. It's not ground breaking but is different from the other new offices so adds some diversity, but most importantly a good added density to the business district. I'm reserving full judgement until all the finishing touches are added
