Thanks for the pics.
The hotel is supposed to open in September.
Might it be pushed back from that?

BTW - crane on the tall tower was being taken down over the weekend.

Great updates. That last picture is pretty cool.

Looks like another one of the construction elevators has come down.

I came back from a walk around False Creek today and the new steps were open for all the Whitecaps game attendees. Far from finished yet but I was impressed with the amount of covered space.

and now that Manchester happened....

Fear mongering gets us nowhere. There's oodles of confined often heavily populated outdoor spaces in Vancouver. Just look at the covered concession/retail/restaurant area at ground level at Broadway/Commercial station. We can't start re-designing everything because of this present day anomaly.

Thanks!

Hopefully they'll install a neon sign or lighting display above the rear / concourse entrance to the casino - as a drawing card / visual focus.

Thanks for your usual thorough set of pics!

Interesting to see a few people's vehement dislike for the building and its glass. Wonder what the general consensus is. I know my wife finds the glass reflects the sun too harshly as she walks by - it is a bit intense at certain times of the day, but that's a practical aspect, not aesthetic.
