This one was previously approved and then delays and turned into a community park for the time being. Cressey is expected to progress with it shortly.

A couple of renders can be found within the public art proposal.

Hmm I'm liking the fact that it will include retail.
Also those are quite a few towers on the loops... ehhh wrong thread... confusing :P |
Can someone edit the thread title to include the name 'Maddox' since that's probably how most people will refer to it now that it has been named on the hoarding & website?

Looks like they've changed the address on this guy. New address will be 738 Rolston Crescent. Nothing really new in these, but figured there's no such thing as too much info.

This passed the UDP last night. I was there for this one.
The coloured elements on the tower are terra cotta panels of the same type as the ones used on Bob Rennie's East development in Chinatown. The UDP was emphatic that the design of the tower was resting heavily on the proposed pattern and use of the terra cotta panels. There was also quite a bit of concern expressed about the viability of the small retail space at the corner of Howe and Drake. The UDP liked the change to all townhouses on Rolston instead of half townhouses and half loading dock. The vehicle cul de sac is temporary until the loops are removed and the future street takes its place. |

Precisely !! This is becoming a weird, obsessive, city syndrome. Do the View Corridors contribute to it? Seriously. / p.s: just looked at the renders. How original can we get !?!? |
We don't need a millionth post from you stating the exact same thing over and over again, Trofirhen.
This forum feels like it's stagnating with negative trolls. |

I can't imagine why they would name a building in Vancouver after this guy.

Excuse me. Perhaps I do repeat myself - or reinforce my opinions by quoting others - too much. Nevertheless, there are threads where members post with an even higher frequency when something interests them. There's that old thing called "freedom of expression," and if my posts bother you, then I am sorry, but the best solution is just to skip them. Also, I am not trying to increase my post count. There are no "Popsicle Pete" awards here. And sarcastic little jabs only indicate a lack of manners and a thin skin. Thank you. |
I don't know why people have a problem with the height here... its just a mid sized residential building on a small plot of land in a nondescript part of the city. Not every building should be shooting for 500+ feet.

Thank you for your photographs. Not just these ones, but all the others as well.

Nice, thanks for posting.
The colour palette reminds me of Harbour Green 1, as well as Grace and Genesis. The mechanical penthouse should at least be clad in a rust-coloured lattice (if not terra-cotta), like the at grade on the Howe Street frontage. It would complete the look. |
I have to sometimes quit my knee-jerk negative reaction to a number of buildings. I looked again at this and thought "hmm nothing super-special, but ...."
"If that had been built (and even in that style it almost could have been, minus the modern trappings of course) - one of the "big guys" of the early to mid 1960s. It probably would have got illustrated newspaper covering in the builds / real estate part. Only Beach Towers, Imperial, and a couple of others approached that height or volume. In about 1967 - correct me if I'm wrong - came Denman Place: pretty big for its time. There had since 1960 or before been the Georgian Towers, say no more. And then, of course, the immortals: Hotel Vancouver, Marine Building, Dominion Building ...+ + + If now, we want to build a bit passé, but respectable, there is no damage done. Maybe not super-creative but it is like weaving into the established tapestry of the city. |
Is it just me, or does this building look a lot like Beasley?
|
Thanks for the photos Built Form. They really illustrate why the execution of the terra cotta panels will be so important to the building.
