The steam pile driver was making a hell of a racket the other day. Could hear the reflections off the CIBC building blocks away.
Apologies for the poor photo quality (snapshot from a video).

It’s nice to see steam making a comeback.
For many years the steam mining industry ranks were decimated.

I judge a project by how many tubes it has.

It's not the number of tubes you have, it's how you use them.

This project is one in a million. It's a beauty. Why would I lie?

The tenants of this building will get to watch quite the show as the 900 block gets razzed to the ground and transformed into the uptown of downtown.

Yeah, it's moving along. I spend a lot of time on that block of View Street so I get a good view of it.

I didn't realize this was going to be Victoria's first apartment building on wheels. With the gradual and unabated deterioration of downtown, this is probably a very wise feature.

Only about two weeks later than aastra's photos, but for once I actually thought of taking some myself. In this case, two views from the corner of View and Vancouver, looking slight west along View, and one picture showing mainly trees but with a glimpse of the east of the building, taken from across Vancouver.

I love the fact that site finally has something being built on it especially since that segment of View St was a Dead Zone.
I don't like the fact it was this proposal that's getting built on it. Its blocky, bulky, a great big "chunk" of a building that looks very institutional. I think I would rather have seen a couple of smaller buildings of different heights and certainly much more interesting architecture. C'est la vie I guess...

I don't mind the size and shape for this location, and I think the façade designs shown in the precedent photos are quite attractive. The black curtain wall section which will be on the View/Vancouver corner is quite striking! Here is the precedent for what it will look like:
