Vancouver Centre II | 122.83m | 33s | GWL | MCM Partnership

doesn't look like the one in the render.

Yeah - 2 different versions of the top don't have a setback.
It could be filled out with steel framing.

This might show the top of the building once it's completed. It's from GWL Advisers, the developers, and I think it's the DP version. There were some changes after the Rezoning - I'm not sure if it was just the glazing, or some of the floorplate details as well.

Structural engineers had this rendering up. I assume it's old.

It would be great if its a restaurant up there, I will definitely be a regular customer.

 

[officedweller]

It's an amenity area for tenants.

The concrete pump arm has been removed.

By me yesterday:

Pic by me today - new steel up top.
That's gotta be the final height.
So the question is whether that steel will be full width of the tower or whether the tower now has a stepped top.

 

[City Of Rain]

may be its a mechanical room?

 

[officedweller]

Yeah, it would be, just wondering how wide it will be (ie box on the roof, or integrated).

 

[City Of Rain]

In the latest render, the roof level would be covered by the same claddings as the floors below.

 

[officedweller]

I spy elevator flywheels.
and they are on to curtain wall on the first floor above the setback.

Pics by me today.

 

[officedweller]

Demolition for connecting the 2 lobbies has started.

Pic by me today.

and installation of the first course of curtain wall above the setback has also startd.
Looks like a wide spandrel band similar to The Post.

By me today.

Atrium lobby demo has taken down the rest of the at-grade area.

The light spandrel wraps the whole north side.
