Les colonnes de soutien sont en train d'être plantée le long du chantier du Roca, et comme on le pensait, ils semblent laisser l'espace d'une ruelle entre les deux bâtiments...

Very Nice Cladding there.

^ In those last pics, Shangri-La vancouver looks exactly like the one in Toronto with the lighting...
On a side note, it's interesting seeing 2 major 5-star hotel brands built in such close proximity with one another. They're basically across the street no?

[LeftCoaster]

They are exactly across the street. Can't speak for most cities, but it doesn't seem too uncommon in Vancouver, there isn't a ton of space downtown so the Fairmont Pacific Rim is right next to the pan Pacific which is right next to the Fairmont Waterfront etc...

Generally high end hotels like to cluster but lobbies across the street is a bit unique I suppose.

Yeah it does look good. I really like how the "Van Halen stripes" are turning out.

hahahahaha......

You were at 200 King?

This shit is getting better and better. It's like finding a treasure map on the beach in Tobago...

[LeftCoaster]

Haha not what you're thinking, I was at the steelcase showroom looking at office furniture. (Amazing stuff by the way)

Settle the rumour mill down Cal, information will come out when it comes out, and you're reading waaay too much into everything.

This was just a zoning amendment.

[caltrane74]

ok, it was nice while it lasted.

You're not kidding - I love the glass and VH stripes.

Usually, Vancouver kills it with cladding. Now at least Toronto is making it close.

The tower is neat but the area needs more density and variety badly. More 20 story brick/stone traditionally styled buildings would do wonders for the area.

Nonetheless, I am looking forward to see the parkette/water feature/restaurant come together.

Sounds like Bob Cole if you pause between "Cladding" & "there".

I like when buildings have room to breath.

If by "brick/stone traditionally styled buildings" you mean pre-war architecture I doubt we'll see a 20-storey project like that ever built in Toronto (or anywhere else on the planet) again.

And that's a damned pity!
