Best thing to do if you're Squamish first nation is start large, going way over what you need, and then make it look like you're compromising down to something decent.

Pretty ambitious idea. I like it, Coquitlam taking on Burnaby for king of the skylines!

The glass really does look good. I'd kill to see a 50 floor office tower with that kind of glass.

Around the 5th floor area, they are painting some of the exterior concrete.

Forgot about the bugs, they would definitely be a problem.

I see they are goinbg with painted concrete in some spots. ?

It looks like a development that buried in the jungles of Panama or somewhere like that. For those who love nature, getting up each morning and looking at the trees will be nice. Those on the 12th-16th floors will have a really cool of the city with tree tops right below the view.

Yeah, most developments are units for sale. You don't see a lot of rental towers in Vancouver.

You see that a lot nowadays. Something to give the building a little extra zip.

This one should be interesting when it's done.

I don't care for the lime green and orange the building's form is nice, and the extra retail on E Hastings is a bonus.

Turned out okay. A clone of the other towers in Burnaby, but it's helping to make Burnaby's skyline into a force.

Kinda sad that our tallest building is a suburban clone tower that's indistinguishable from the rest, but I'll take it. It's nice to have a building over 200 meters.

This is a nice boutique style building, and makes a nice contrast to the ultra modern church.

I like it. It wouldn't be the same as 100 years ago, but with the other rail lines I suppose not many lines are needed. Even a couple of street car lines would be great.

A mini Dubai forming lol.

Burnaby's skyline is going to take over!

To the west, even better. Maybe someday you can post a sunset shot :)

Traffic on Kingsway will get worse, but yeah, it's always been bad.Maybe someday Kingsway can run a tram or streetcar?
