that good it has all that bike parking. I am an urbanist, but I'm not against cars, or parking lots if they are present in moderation, but having more parking spaces than cars is a good thing, because enough building like that will incentivise for bike parking garages (may be part of car parking garages) and plenty of great bike infrastructure to get around.
I don't think the tower will add much noise to that quiet neighborhood, most of the units will probably be speculative investor purchases and sit empty when they aren't AirBnB'd out (if the HOA allow it)
Thats a lot of parking spaces being generated in an already congested city. Im assuming this amount of parking spaces are more concessions to the wealthy people buying these units. Also is having a few curves that ground breaking? Should look to buildings in Melbourne for some inspiration.
I'm not a fan of the continued densification of downtown, already one of the most dense city centers in North America. Now people want to remove the view cones for even taller buildings. It's frustrating when the entire Fraser Valley is a low density, suburban hell. They are demolishing a perfectly good mid-rise for this. The West End is already a great, dense community.
@@AreYouAliveYet Ive lived in multiple 3rd world countries and still had a higher standard of living in some of those places. Vancouver used to be good but it’s trash these days at the price of gold.
Vancouver’s skyline is about the mountains, not the buildings. Why obscure people’s view with tall buildings that are basically an ego exercise by an architect?
Super interesting take, with such limited space in downtown the buildings have to start getting higher. How can architects and indeed the city ensure we don't loose what we love about living here!
@@RewCaHomes The downtown isn’t built for that many people. I used to live there. The current downtown is basically an island, with only a few ways in and out. What Vancouver needs is more places like the West End outside the downtown core, with more townhomes and 4-6 story buildings, instead of these massive luxury towers that are either priced out of the reach of 99.99% of people, or have insanely small living spaces. The thing is that developers love the big towers because they get more money from them. They’re about enriching the developer, not making better living spaces.
Absolutely stunning!
your colour grading is quite odd, are you working off a calibrated monitor?
Time to start saving my pennies

Amazing video. Thank you! ❤
You're so welcome!
Vancouver house knocks this out of the park
Oooooh, we a love a good debate in the comments, state your case!
The highest point DT Vancouver is Comox/Bute not Nelson/Thurlow where this site is located.

Curious how these new short term rental rules that came into effect may 1st this year will impact these kind of projects

Who's going to be building?
My city
11 floors down, it will take you forever to get to your spot, the building is way too big for this neighborhood.
It sure will be interesting to see how it fits in, especially with the butterfly as its neighbour

Where do you expect all of this influx of population to go?
yay another ugly luxury building for the rich in this garbage city
Garbage city? I can tell you haven’t travelled outside North America.

You can't see the mountains with a building right in front of your building anyways. Ever thought of going outside?
