Vancouver is the 8th largest city in Canada by population (630,000) and is the largest city of the Greater Vancouver Census Metropolitan Area in British Columbia (containing 2,460,000, the 3rd largest in Canada).
Downtown is located on a peninsula surrounded on three sides by Vancouver Harbour, English Bay, and False Creek. I will define Downtown as including the adjacent districts on the peninsula of Central, Coal Harbour, Davie Village, Gastown, West End, and Yaletown.
This thread will focus on more of the central area of downtown's recent highrises, generally a few blocks away from any of the waterfronts; it will then proceed on a tour of the Yaletown area's waterfront.
Here is a selection of the recent highrises:
Yaletown Waterfront:
Here is a tour along False Creek from the Burrard Street Bridge to the Cambie Bridge, where it is adjacent to Yaletown; this waterfront stretch is all new construction from the past 20 years.
