Does anyone know how tall the neighbouring green-glassed residential tower (pictured right and former home of Built Form) is?

97 metres, according to the 501's building info page.

Thanks for all the updates Built Form.

Thank you. It looks like there will be a meaningful step-up between the two.

Nice update Built form. I had no idea they were that far along. I need to get out of my place more.

I visited my buddy at the 501 yesterday and grabbed these pics:

great pics Thanks!

I notice that the tarp on 789 drake seems to be coming down. It will be nice to see how that turned out, it was always so ugly before.

Thanx for the post Vanman! I've been going thru withdrawal.

To add to the photos above:

I took more but they're basically the same as above.

That podium is impressive from the bridge there!

peterprinciple · #**212** Posted: **Dec 12, 2011, 3:47 PM**

I am afraid that these lower units so close to the intersection will be soot filled in no time from all the truck and car exhaust...mmmmmmmmmmm I love the smell of diesel in the morning.

Chadillaccc · #**213** Posted: **Dec 12, 2011, 5:50 PM**

Yeah, it's gonna be brutal. But I guess no moreso than the other buildings in and around the bridge exits.

vanman · #**214** Posted: **Dec 12, 2011, 11:48 PM**

Great pics entheosfog and Locked in!

Yeah that podium is massive. It is jarring driving out of the 501 parking garage into the ally, the whole site is quite in your face.

Thanks for the photos, entheosfog. It's looking great, with a lot of presence beside the off-ramp from the Granville Street Bridge.

Glazing is being installed now. Here's some pix from the alley and Pacific side.

many thanks for the update .... she really is imposing .... I like!

osirisboy · #**218** Posted: **Dec 20, 2011, 4:30 PM**

cant say I like the glass/spandrel mainly because its boring and generic. Its basically identical to cosmo. clear glass, seafoam green colour spandrel, and painted concrete, wow how daring and edgy, UGH!

vanman · #**219** Posted: **Dec 20, 2011, 8:41 PM**

Exactly what I was thinking. The colours in the renders seem much darker and contrast better. How come every development ends up being washed out with muted colours compared to what was originally proposed? I'm so sick of beige in this city.

officedweller · #**220** Posted: **Dec 20, 2011, 8:57 PM**

Agreed - the spandrels and mullions look typical (lousy)
