The W. Georgia turning torso thing looks awesome!

Cool list - Vancouver's got a hell of a lot of stuff happening now!

[colemonkee]

I like 801 W. Georgia. I'm sure the final building won't look that airy and light, but I like the way they break the vertical lines in the corners to have "negative" setbacks. Very cool.

[giallo]

We should find out the fate of 801 Georgia St. soon enough. The site was just sold.

[TOBoy]

I highly doubt anything serious would happen to 801 W. Georgia that would see anything happen but what has been proposed.

I've updated the list. I hope someone from Vancouver can keep me informed as to any new developements. Maybe even have a little rumour list here too.

[Jonovision]

^wasn't it rumoured that 1133 W. Georgia could be made taller and that many wanted it to.

[Jared]

^wasn't it rumoured that 1133 W. Georgia could be made taller and that many wanted it to.

Zoning allows for a 600ft tower (which is there). But there is a clause where an extra 10% of the building height can be used for Mechanical Penthouses and Rooftop "Architectural Features", meaning it could in theory be 660ft or 201m

[Buck]

Great list. A typical project for Vancouver would be the perfect model for a project in Atlanta. In fact... Atlanta is starting to model it's condo towers after Vancouver's.

I'm loving 1133 West Georgia.

Here are some more projects under constuction:

The Ritz could be really pretty if they use the right materials
Im guessing that Elan had the same architect as the Shaw tower?
And what is the status of the Erickson?

[marmorek]

Im guessing that Elan had the same architect as the Shaw tower?


Shaw Tower was designed by James Cheng, elan by Paul Merrick, I believe.

Vancouver always amazies me.By the time the Olympics start it will be a very different looking city.

Some updates to the list:

Two Harbour Green is now under construction.

687 Howe is still a proposed - now at 47 storeys, ~500 ft, 2009.

1235 West Pender is not a proposed - there is a tower on that site called Palladio that was completed in 2001.

VANCOUVER - Simply Amazing!!!

:worship:

[jeff300]

Very nice, but what I'd like to know is how can all this construction be going on at once??

Where are the people to occupy all these new towers, let alone all the existing ones?

[Mike K.]

To start, the metro is growing by over 30,000 individuals a year (around 40,000, perhaps?). The rental market is rather tight in the urbanized areas and many snowbirds/internationals purchase secondary homes which they visit throughout the year.

Many investors purchase the units and offer them as rentals. The development of private condos is perhaps the only way to expand the rental opportunities as government policies discourage investment in rental properties at present.

Vancouver's construction craze is also hurting other markets in the province. In other centres tradesmen are in short supply and in great demand as building booms unwravel province-wide. Several large-scale projects in Victoria, for example, are held up or have been cancelled due to rising construction costs (in part due to a lack of tradesmen) and a lack of tradesmen.

[Hot Rod]

Very nice, but what I'd like to know is how can all this construction be going on at once??

:previous: ???

I dont get it. What dont you understand?

downtown Vancouver is an expanding market. Most of the towers that are under construction are already paid for - with tenants! There is so much demand, that prices are at a premium.

there is plenty of people (and investors) in Downtown. that is why there are so many announcements and construction.

:skyscraper:

I'm glad to see the Melville rising steadily. I'm really interested to see what that metallic spire will look like in reality once it's finished. At least it will be done this year so I don't have to wait too long.

well it looks like there are 37 or so now, so another 5 plus the soft icecream cone looking crown and it'l make a pretty decent impact on the skyline, especially if that crown is lit up

ps does anyone have a recent picture of the impact on the skyline from the lionsgate/westvan direction? I think that is where it will have its greates impact. If so please post.

[raggedy13]

I just thought this thread needed some updating. Here's a fairly up-to-date list composed by and regularly updated by Hed Kandi in the Western Canada sub-forum...

- Vancouver in 2004 -

http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5315/falsecreekskylineduskpr2.jpg (http://imageshack.us)



- Vancouver ranked first in North America for quality of life for third straight year -

For the third consecutive year, Vancouver is the top-ranked North American city -- and third overall -- in a worldwide quality of living survey by Mercer Human Resource Consulting.

Zurich tops the list of over 350 cities, scoring 108.2, followed closely by Geneva (108.1) and Vancouver (107.7).

The survey is designed to help governments and multinational companies place employees on international assignments. Each city is based on an evaluation of 39 criteria, including political, social, economic and environmental factors, personal safety and health, education, transport, and other public services. Cities are ranked against New York as the base city, which has an index score of 100.

http://www.mercerhr.com/referencecontent.jhtml?idContent=1173105



- Vancouver is 'best place to live' -

Vancouver is the world's best place to live, a survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has found. The EIU ranked 127 cities in terms of personal risk, infrastructure and the availability of goods and services.

All the cities that fell into the top "liveability" bracket were based in Canada, Australia and Western Europe.

The worst places were Algiers in Algeria, and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea because "many aspects of daily life present challenges", the EIU said.

[city guy]

I know it would be quite a job, but could someone compile visuals on the new housing proposals for SE false creek/olympic venues
I understand that there are many DP applicatioons for new buildings in that part of town

[eastvanman]

600 ft maximum is outdated for vancity. There is already talk once Sam Sullivan is gone that Vancouver will change height restrictions allowing for unlimited hieghts along Hastings st once they start demoing all the rundwon crackshacks.

[jlousa]

eastvanman,

I do not know why you are spurting such nonsense. There is no plans to increase the height limit. It is already flexible pending amenties. Sam Sullivan is certainly not restricting the height in fact he is very prodevelopment. Also as much as I would love to see towers along Hastings it is not going to happen, there is alot of redevelopment in the works for the area but think closer 15 stories along that road.

[LeftCoaster]

Yea where the hell did that come from? im all over that kinda news like white on rice, and I havent even heard rumours anything like that.

[raggedy13]

Ya I'd like to know where this "talk" is coming from. If there was any accuracy to it that would be pretty sweet, but highly unlikely. Sam Sullivan has little to do with the issue. Height restrictions aren't his sole decision. I believe it's up to the planning department, and in order to change anything the changes have to be approved by the city council, of which the mayor is only one of numerous people. And assuming that Sam Sullivan was anti-tall-buildings, who is to say that the next mayor will be pro-tall-buildings?

[eastvanman]

Silly me,

I forgot, I know nothing. I forgot that I was talking to a friend whose wife is on council, who shared that tidbit with me. I forgot that I never said it was for sure, that there was "talk". I forgot to mention that it is common knowledge that the limit used to be 400ft and then went to 500ft and now rests at 600ft, but in a clause stating that a possible extension is available based on a projected study of urban sprawl that is yet to come. How dare I. As for j lousa, to say that I am spouting nonsense is insulting. What may I ask do you know from your throne? As far as Sam Sullivan, he is one of many that would like to cap the height restriciton. Yes he is prodevelopment, pro sprawl that is. He is part of the idea to tear down St. Pauls Hospital(the ONLY downtown hospital) and move it to near Main and Terminal. And what would become of that massive spot left over by St. Pauls you say? Hmmm, maybe you should ask one of the scholars who responded to my last thread.

[jlousa]

double post

[jlousa]

Eastvan man,

If I sounded harsh it is because it was deserved. There are people on this board that are acutally connected and that work in the industry, not just friends of someone married who is on coucil. Councilors are just people who can spurt nonsense like anyone else. Sam sullivan is not of things but pro-sprawl is not one of them. Look into Eco-density which he ran on and tell me that's pro-sprawl. moving St. Pauls will not even be his desicion if/when that happens.

[raggedy13]

Silly me,

How dare I.

FYI, you should give all the background information first time around when it comes to significant rumours such as the one you posted. Like leftcoaster said, many of us are religious about hunting down such information so throwing about rumours without any sources cited can be most definitely frustrating. And seeing rumours of that magnitude coming from somebody with only a couple posts on the forum can make many people skeptical. When people see such rumours on this forum they are prepared to pounce on it in an attempt to verify any accuracy. Try not to take it personally. Seeing such a wild rumour without anything to back it up, and coming from a relatively new person to the forum can lead people to assume you're just some punk kid posting some rumour generated by some other punk kid over on SSC.

[eastvanman]

Well I guess you have deemed yourself in charge of doling out who is correct and who is not. Are you on city council? Or do you just take serious offence when someone posts there own opinions on the website that conflict with yours? "Sam sullivan is not of things but pro-sprawl is not one of them" Can you explain what dialect of English you are speaking here because I have tried to decipher it's meaning, but I am at a loss? I understand and realize that Providence is the main decision maker with the move of St. Paul's (let's hope it stays). As far as Sullivans' eco-density plan, it sounds wonderful, but will we see it implemented? Does his idea of mass transit take into account that Translink chooses not to pay it's Skytrain staff properly forcing them to strike starting tomorrow, or that many people refuse to use transit due to the fact that it is completely unreliable? I applaud Sam on trying to fight sprawl within the City, but the fact is it is a Lower Mainland issue, not Vancouver. There is no room left in Vancouver, but up. So what I am saying is that the height restrictions are just that, restrictions on solving urban sprawl. In many council meetings he has voiced an allegiance with a cap of 600 ft on all buildings. That makes sense now, considering the population where it is. These buildings I assume will be here in 20-40 years from now. The conservative estimate of a doubling of population within the Lower Mainland in 20-40 years will bring into question the need for more space, and if you don't go up you go out. Or he could start a subterranean initiative. I'll leave that between you and him

[eastvanman]

Fair enough raggegy 13, I appreciate your message and I will take it under advisement. It was clearly stated that I said there was talk, nothing concrete. My main goal was to start a dialouge in reference to height restrictions in a city that will be hampered by them down the road. With the population on a steady increase with the Lower Mainland, being able to see the mountains should not be high on our priority list of what is important. One can always take the Ironworkers or Lions Gate and see them in all there splendour. However to truly deal with the population boom we will have to have buildings with an increased capacity. Once again I appreciate the message. Thank you

[city guy]

does anyone have information and/or images of the new residential and recreational precint being planned for the South East False Creek?
My understanding is that there are 15-20 new building sites proposed

[SpinoC66]

I Love Vancouver! it is my second home. In a 2 year span, there was so many different things going on. Probably when i get back this summer, it is going to look totally different again. I cant wait to go to the 2010 Olympics and see what the city looks like with all these new construction projects. I cant wait to see! :)

[raggedy13]

^When was the last time you were here? At least one significant change to check out while you're here in the summer is the progress on the city's new tallest currently U/C - Living Shangri-La. I think it is supposed to be topped out this summer. If it is, it shouldn't be too hard to miss. I can't wait to see how much impact it will have on the skyline. If we're lucky, you will also be able to check out construction on what will be the second tallest in the city which will be right across the street from the Shangri-La, assuming it gets started by then.

[Geebrr]

I would love to live In Vancouver for awhile.

Here is a link to the Vancouver Construction thread. That's the place where the news and updates for Vancouver are. I don't think anyone has taken ownership for this thread and it has suffered accordingly. There is a huge amount continously going on in Vancouver and you would never know it from this thread.

I started it two years ago, but as you can see with 56 posts, it aint popular and not much point keeping it. No one from Vancouver wants to post in two thread and I dont blame them.

[raggedy13]

I did this rough sketch of some of the visible additions to the skyline from this one particular angle (there are many more additions than this in other parts of downtown though).

I thought I'd highlight all the buildings in the pic that were either completed this year (all of which are actually still undergoing interior finishing work), u/c, and proposed (just two from this view and one of them is actually already undergoing site demolition).

Amazing update! I love Vancouver, one of the best cities out there. Great density too!

[giallo]

You've really put Vancouver's boom is in perspective, SFU. The city is transforming so quickly it's mind-boggling.

L'Hermitage
I really like this building. I think it turned out great, especially the podium. It has a lot of presence and weight and yet does not feel overbearing.

As seen from the Granville Street Bridge, The Erickson, under construction on the left, is almost above grade. The Zone, under construction on the far right is a couple storeys above grade. The cranes for Cross Roads and the SkyTrain Canada Line Broadway Station are straight ahead.

At the other end of the site a third building is above grade. This one is a 12 storey condo tower and it and the first one from the set act as tall "bookends" of the Olympic Village precinct. On either side of these towers will be a "hinge park", a roughly triangular park to ease the transition in street grid orientations.

The Ritz
The retail podium is turning out quite nice. Is there a specific term for the small "rims" of concrete that protrude out above and beside the window? I like it. I also the like the sloping glass on the second floor and the crisp cornice line it creates. Also, note that the wrapping is being taken off of the red panels. Some of the wrapping was torn off of the building during our last wind storm to reveal a sort of ruddy red colour but thankfully the real red is better.

Flatiron
Lastly, a shot of the Ritz and the Flatiron. It isn't the greatest picture. I don't know how to get the most out of my camera on days like this when it is bright outside but overcast.

Jameson House
Pender street elevation. The two heritage buildings are fully braced now. The cream coloured one on the left is only having its facade preserved while the old mining museum building beside it is being saved in its entirety.
