Summary

76% Informative

A developer has proposed three skyscrapers that would transform Vancouver 's skyline.

At 239 , 271 and 315 metres , they dwarf most neighbouring buildings, including recently built towers.

The 315-metre hotel would be B.C. 's tallest tower, 55 per cent taller than Vancouver ’s tallest existing skyscraper, the Shangri-La.

The three towers feature a distinct, curving design, with a “sculptural exoskeleton”.

Vancouver architect James Cheng has had a hand in shaping the city’s skyline.

Cheng said he is not interested in superficial “beauty pageant” discussions about which big buildings are attractive or not, or how tall they should be.

Cheng : "The downtown skyline is the crown jewel. And that has to constantly be polished".
