From that angle it would reach the top of North Park Manor by about the 18th or 19th floor maybe? So when finished the top of the crest would be about the same height as the top of the crane?

Still not sure how I feel about that crest on the top.

It's certainly no worse than the top of most new buildings in the CoV.

It's not a blank elevator box so I'm happy. 

 

Low standards, I know, but look at where we're coming from.

The staff break room at VV headquarters? Standards don't get any lower. A light bulb would be nice.

If it's not the Manhattan or View Towers we're making progress. 

 

This will definitely be much nice than both of those, so we're making massive progress.

Speaking of blocked views, does Gary have a valid grievance now that his view of the Jubilee Hospital is partially blocked?

And it only took 25-50 years!

What a coincidence; I've been known to be lit at night myself from time-to-time.

[Mike K.]

I believe the HP1 crane can be seen from Cedar Hill golf course.

The noble city tore down the old bridge in order to open up the view, and now you skyscraper fanboys have ruined the view. Nice going.

To commemorate the project's construction progress as it pushes higher on its way to becoming Vancouver Island's tallest building, the development team is holding an evening of celebration next week.
