The W. Georgia turning torso thing looks awesome!
Cool list - Vancouver's got a hell of a lot of stuff happening now! |
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.
|
We should find out the fate of 801 Georgia St. soon enough. The site was just sold.
|
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. |
^wasn't it rumoured that 1133 W. Georgia could be made taller and that many wanted it to.

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? |

Vancouver always amazies me.By the time the Olympics start it will be a very different looking city.
|
hadn't seen the Erickson before. pretty cool. pretty cool indeed.
|
/\ Yeah, I just love the crazy curves on the Erickson. How tall is that one going to be?
|
The Erickson is groovy.
|
Sweet! I want to move to Vancouver :)
|
:borg:
|
I just LOVE Vancouver. I am hoping to go back over New Year's this year!
|
Holy frijoles!
Lots of nice looking topwers... Not much parking... That's a combo I like to see. :) |
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. |
