Again Burnaby's Sovereign and Metroplace are in the 140-150m range and both sites are being excavated currently, boosting metro Van's total to 3. Although excavation isn't technically construction I suppose.

Not only that, but Hotel Georgia will be off the list soon.

And 1021 West Hastings has began site prep, so it should be on the list soon.

It is 155.9 meters tall.

Do you have additional construction photos? The logistics of getting everyone in one spot means ceremonial groundbreakings rarely coincide with the heavy machinery.

Wow! - Been a long time since we've seen a nice taller tower break ground in Vancouver!

LeftCoaster · #**4947** Posted **Sep 21, 2011, 8:08 PM**

And since this is in Burnaby the wait continues!

caltrane74 · #**4948** Posted **Sep 22, 2011, 3:18 PM**

Still though, it's good to see a new tall tower starting, wherever it is!

That grizzly is pretty badass!

Epcor looks much better at night than I expected.

tele75 · #**4952** Posted **Sep 22, 2011, 7:53 PM**

That Grizzly is definitely badass!

Like the lights too.

LeftCoaster · #**4953** Posted **Sep 22, 2011, 8:11 PM**

the grizz is really cool, not too sure about putting a bear outside of a business though... kind of a bad omen!

Coldrsx · #**4954** Posted **Sep 22, 2011, 8:21 PM**

I am wondering if a bull will follow...

Really? Why?

WhipperSnapper · #**4956** Posted **Sep 25, 2011, 2:34 PM**

I moved Epcor to completed; occupancy permit issued and tenants moving in.

steveve · #**4957** Posted **Sep 25, 2011, 5:16 PM**

That bear statue is completely WTF!?!?! but it's awesome!

Burano from yesterday... my oh my, this thing got TALL from bay street!!!! holy cow, i couldn't believe it... pictures can't really capture how tall this looks.

Couture Condo yesterday:

caltrane74 · #**4958** Posted **Sep 25, 2011, 5:48 PM**

holy shit! that Burano is tall.

Words are not describing how tall that tower is or looks. It's beyond all comprehesion or any conceptual understanding. It's so tall, you can't believe it even when you see it.

Trust.
