FYI - Pinnacle has restarted its stalled hotel and condo project in North Vancouver (near the Seabus terminal).

This one?

5 February 2009 photo update

What it looked like 10 minutes ago from the west end:

RBC, Ritz, Bell Lightbox, Success, Telus (can anyone else spot the MLS cranes poking above the skyline?) and CP towers included.

Nice pic UD.

 

[Hypnotoad]

Such an interesting vantage point, UD. Two mini clusters flanking the CN tower, neither of which existed as much as 5 years ago.

In fact, if you photoshopped out the CN Tower completely this image might confuse a lot of Torontonians for some other mid-sized metropolis someplace else.

So true.

Correct me if i am wrong but, Success 1 looks to be close to 60 floors now.

 

[urbandreamer]

It's on the 53rd floor right now--count each floor. I think it will be a decade before tower 4 is completed (unless it's a rental)--by that time, tower 1-3 will look dated and old, so I wonder if they'll hire a different architect?

If Success is being built with offshore/HongKong/Chinese(?) money then they'll probably forego No.Four and continue with No.Five.

Chinese tradition, no?

Are you trying to say that they will procede with two more towers,if so where is the fifth one going?

No. Four towers total, and the fifth one is going to be next to the third one, naturally.

Like what DT posted, only 4 buildings. They'll just skip the #4. And I think that's because that # has a "bad" connotation for Chinese people ('forgot if it means death or something sinister like that?).

I know it's hard to like anything by Pinnacle but at least this tower adds some welcome height/drama south of the Gardiner ... where every built tower seems to have a 350-400 foot height ceiling.

They certainly didn't achieve "Success" but they did finally create a "Pinnacle" (south of the Gardiner at least).
