If it's about preventing damage to the growing medium caused by frequent short-cuts, why not formalize it with several concrete steps? It's like they're assuming that everyone is wheelchair-bound.

Better yet, lower the pathway or raise the green roof so that it's flush with railing height.

Great pics indeed! Turns out I know someone who purchased there.

I hope I get invited over for dinner. A lot. Assuming he has water view. I'm a picky eater

Thanks for the comments.

I'm very impressed with the glass. This will be a great addition to the Coal Harbour skyline.

Thanks L-I. I wonder if that same glass will run the length of the tower? It sure looks sweet.

On one hand, it's going to be nice to have that part of the city 'finished'.
On the other, the Oxford Tower will start construction when this one finishes I hope!

Green glazing and dark stone cladding has started going up on the south side of the tower - it looks like HG3 is going to be very unique. Here are some awful BB photos by me from today:

I dunno if I can ever love seafoam spandrel, even in curtain-wall.

I like that the polished granite panels match the mullion lines. I still think the travertine on HG1 looks more upscale.

Add another tasteless tower to Canada's priciest waterfront.
