IMO, these new towers are a definite improvement over the 1970s brutalist-looking Empire Landmark Hotel that used to be here. But what I really like is how the new podium interfaces with the street realm. The shops are attractive, and well-designed and will make a positive contribution to Robson St. The podium has that highend look that only come when quality materials are used(it looks like Clinker Brick was used at the rear of the podium...very nice!). Overall, this project is a thumbs-up in my book!

I'm a bit tough on this one. It is for sure an improvement. For me it falls short in personality. The building looks like a typical condo building with retail at the bottom. It does not have a distinct look or special artistic flare that sets them apart. There's no outdoor garden sanctuary, outdoor art installation or water fountains that would contribute to luxury. They should have tried to secure 1 or more anchor tenants before construction. I suspect they will be small businesses at the bottom which will not contribute to the luxury feel. Their condo size range from 584-1,3623 sqft, 1 bedroom starting at 1.3 mil, 2 bedroom starting from $2 mil and 3 bedroom starting at $3.8 mil. Those are expensive prices. Downtowns in major cities such as San Francisco, Seattle are in a decline with many shops closed. I see Vancouver in decline as well. With a new downtown building coming on and a name like "Landmark", I was expecting some cool architectural details. The Butterfly on Nelson ( westbankcorp.com/body-of-work/the-butterfly ) and Bosa Properties 1700 Alberni Street ( www.dezeen.com/2022/01/12/1700-alberni-vancouver-heatherwick-studio ) projects, they are fresh, vibrant and innovative. If I had to choose between buying a condo or being a retail tenant at Landmark on Robson or Bosa Properties' 1700 Alberni Street building, I would pick the 1700 Alberni Street because it feels special.

@@MetroVancouverConstruction The Butterfly has certainly raised the bar, and it will be challenging for other developments to achieve this same level of design and build quality. These towers are 'safe'... there is nothing to distinguish them from most other new builds of late. One thing about the former tower is that, love or hate it, it certainly made its presence known. As for Vancouver going the way of San Francisco(or Seattle), of course, I hope you're wrong, but simply saying that 'it can't happen here' is treading on the heels of magical thinking, and no doubt there were those in San Fran who said the same thing about their town before the decline set in. As for paying 1.2 million for a one-bedroom condo, for that price I would expect 'Butterfly' quality and amenities, and it simply makes my head spin!

I must admit it looks like a beautiful building. Very nice but a far too noisy neighborhood.
