It's unfortunate that the windows above the 'V' are not symmetrically alligned with the 'V'. (ie the windows on the left could be shifted to the right)

The white vertical bar is also used for bus priority around Vancouver. There's one at Marine Drive and Taylor Way in West Vancouver (at Park Royal) where it allows the bus to move from the curb lane bus stop before the intersection to the far left through lane (crossing 2 lanes) after the...

I think the older brick building on the corner will get lost (visually) with the tall brick podium (of similar colour) next to it. I was faintly hoping that there would be just a single level of brick work on the podium next to the older building to allow the older building to rise above.

Here's the post showing the plan for that vacant space.

Did they remove the mid-sized theatre in the middle shown on the plans above? Or did they reconfigure so they are all doubled up across a corridor now?

Timeless = generic. I thought the same about matching the office tower next door, then I realized that it will also be redeveloped in time.

To me the canopy looks too low. Another foot higher and it would have opened up the area under it. I guess those vents couldn't be under the canopy.

Those arched windows look awful (mostly because of the light coloured stone). Their randomness detracts from the sentinel-like placing of the copper domes on the corners. If a tall tower is to be "in-filled" then it should contrast with the limestone of the heritage tower and the green domes, to...

Looks like the inside of a cruise ship. https://www.dreamstime.com/liberty-seas-cruise-ship-central-promenade-deck-inside-interrior-liberty-seas-cruise-ship-promenade-image125753048

From Infrastructure Ontario twitter. I see a train profile with flat front and pantograph, which looks more like Rome, than Lima.

Agreed - I was going to say the only difference I see is the soffit being gray aluminum panel rather than wood, but who knows if that level of detail is accurate on the new rendering.

Also looks very light gray in these pics. It's like the towers were sliced apart to reveal the fluffy insides. 😄

The weird thing is that without the silver mullions, the black panels may look even more random than they look now, since the black grid is open on some of the ends.

Alo Yoga Looks to Grab Market Share from Lululemon as it Opens 1st Canadian Store with Plans for National Expansion https://retail-insider.com/retail-insider/2022/09/alo-yoga-looks-to-grab-market-share-from-lululemon-as-it-opens-1st-canadian-store-with-plans-for-national-expansion/

Hard to say whether those are half-domes are just exterior dead space (there seems to be a floor and a rear wall).

The window glass look to be flat sliding glass doors, while it's the balcony glass that is curved. (i.e. the doube/triple pane stuff is flat). The precast could be feasible, but as others have mentioned, probably very expensive, like at The Butterfly in Vancouver.
