I like this one. Belongs in downtown Vancouver instead of Burnaby.

Brentwood will be our new downtown of the Lower Mainland, the tallest building will also be built here.

The amount of towers around Brentwood and Metrotown is pretty amazing really. Bigger skylines than many mid sized American cities.

It already feels more like Singapore. And I am excited to see how it turns out in 5 years.

Don't forget there are still 2 other blooming urban centers in Burnaby, Edmond and Lougheed centers.

Looks like they are getting ready to clear the site.

I'm just wondering from that Google Maps pic above, does anyone know if the new Gilmore Place towers (I think towers 1 & 2 are the first phase from a picture I found) will fully block the Vancouver city view? I feel like it's gonna block the city view with these tall towers. From what I remember of the area, mountain view should be okay since there's no towers behind that Staples building.

I wonder if this is becoming a norm for strata fee? Got an email form the Sentinel quoting the Estimated Strata Fees is around $0.79 a sq. ft. That is like double in two year. If you purchase a 1000sqft condo you'll be paying like $790 a month in your assessment. How can a person downsize in retirement. I must amid that I really like the design of this building. Wonder what the fee is for this building as fees goes up with the amount of amenities.

Go to Googlemaps, identify the site, then zoom out and draw a straight line to downtown Vancouver.

Honestly, as long as there would be no tower blocking the view of metrotown, I'd be fine.
