The bezels/frames/edges on the south tower are now finished and are lit at night. Externally, the south tower appears complete except for some balcony railing that need to be installed. Landscaping for the entire complex also appears finished.

This one far exceeded my expectations. Also one of the nicest looking lighting installations on a building. Warm soft lighting that’s a nice break from the usual stark LED strips.
I’m reposting this one because it’s worth looking at again.

These tower designs are just different. including the lighting scheme. The lighting is a nice change from bright LED light bars. I'm still not sold on the designs. The finishes look good. Tower 2 has more spandrel.

The Remington website calls these Blume. There's no marketing yet and tower 1 looks pretty close to being ready for occupation Aren't these rentals?
 
The construction fencing has been removed from the south tower, but it doesn't look like anyone has moved in yet. The lobby looks like it needs a clean up and some furniture. Bezels/frames/edges are being installed on the north tower. Pics were taken a few days ago.

I don't know about that. This would be slimmer and taller with cheap window wall in Vancouver. This would blend into Montreal and Montreal's filler designs outclass Vancouvers.

I thinking the same thing. About 85% of Vancouver’s buildings over 20 stories look almost the same. Gray, white or seafoam coloured window wall, and the same slenderness. I don’t recall seeing a building like this anywhere in Vancouver.

In the last 5-10 years, Vancouver has taken another leap in tower designs. Something like this would be an average build in metro Vancouver today. From a distance, Metro Vancouver nodes do look like a bunch of clones but I'd be so happy if we got an average 2023 Metro Van tower concept over a local Cidex tower.

Height has increased across the metro and there's a higher percentage of star designed towers in development. The average skyscraper being built across Burnaby and into Coquitlam and Surrey have more messy spandrel upping that cheap looking factor and the podiums design quality are less refined that years previously. In Vancouver, the new Broadway Tower's fanfare is completely centred on its mountainous 40 storey height. The design leaves alot to be desired.The newest Hat under construction is not that bad.
