I find myself wondering if this beast will ever get above ground

Indeed.

I am really looking forward to seeing this one on the skyline. When I take the ferry into Vancouver from Victoria I always like to see the Metrotown skyline from the ferry coming in. Looking forward to seeing this one as the tallest.

I hope this spurs consideration of redevelopment of Old Orchard Mall across the street.

Went by the other day and they had about 6 concrete trucks standing by.

I don't care for their architecture, but Sovereign and Metroplace are going to fundamentally change Metrotown's skyline in a way that will be pleasing from afar.

Chadillaccc · #**151** Posted **Mar 14, 2012, 4:04 PM**

Definitely. I actually like metroplace. For such a major tower though, Sovereign is pretty bland and uninspired though. But regardless... 4 of metrotown's 6 tallest are under construction right now... how awesome is that?

Prometheus · #**152** Posted **Mar 14, 2012, 7:46 PM**

I do appreciate that the podiums of Metroplace and Sovereign are vastly more urban than most of the residential towers being constructed in the actual downtown core of Vancouver.
