745 Thurlow St | 91m | 23fl | Completed
Any idea when Bentall 5 demolition (of the current parkade) will start at Alberni and Thurlow?

i thought it was gonna be started after 2010
|
^ It better be given the high costs to get it started in the first place
|

|
Is there a drawing or rendering of this building available yet?
|
What is known is the tower will be 300 feet, quoted by the UDP meeting minutes:

745 Thurlow - elevations look like a rehash of Bentall V - but the floorplate is rectangular so it may look similar in angularity to Cielo.

Amazing! Thanks OD
Kinda disappointed on the design though. I'm sure it will look good (see Bentall 5) but after all their talk about a dazzling architectural design or some garbage like that I am a little disappointed. Oh well I shouldnt let myself get wrapped up in the marketing garbage, it looks like it will end up being a nice project. Should complement the glass on Shangri-La well. |
Thanks for posting these.
It's about what I would expect from MCMP, generally attractive, but nothing amazing - just like the last two office towers, Bentall 5 and PWC Place, both of which they designed. They seem to really dig the angular vertical forms - if anyone remembers the original Ritz proposal they did, there was the same triangular shape. Of course, MCMP's design was considered too boring at the time for such a tall building, hence Erickson's twist idea, but I guess it's a sufficient design for something short... Also good to see ~20,000 sq ft of retail proposed for the second floor. Hopefully this one gets built someday... |
Bentall 5 meets Central City (Surrey).
|
Will it be able to add more floors in the future like the V?

Not tall enough
|
It has nice angles, but it's a bit fat. It should look better than those renderings.
