It's tough to see buildings that look different eh? :) IMO, some of these are better looking the Vanvouver's. Like jiggawhat said, they're all starting to look the same...blahhh :sleepy: Like an urban subdivision. But I still like vancouver.

Vancouver does have a nice skyline but most of the buildings really are ugly residential towers IMO. When you look at a chunk of buildings you can see all the open and closed curtains and blinds which really make it an eyesore.
^thank you! I'm glad we're not the only ones that are starting to feel that way.
That's funny, I've always been impressed by Vancouver's natural surroundings as well as its concentration of high-rises, but I always thought its skyline and the buildings themselves (with a few exceptions) were damn hideous.
^thats what we are saying....HORRIBLE architecture. It would be good if they had some of thier cool buildings...but when they all look the same...they just get lost in the sea of mush.
Haven't heard to much about that one, thanks for the input. Looks like 36 stories, 400ft/122m Great design to!
^I like the design. They could have done a better job though imo.
It kinda looks like Two Union Square with that roof thing on the top.
^I like that part. I was thinking more on the windows. I'm glad that they're going to be big windows though.
Also:
Information regarding the increase in the downtown height limits:
