Crazy that our tallest will essentially be right on the edge of downtown. Beltline high-rises haven't really creeped south of 17th outside of the density node in Mission

Do we know the contractor for this project yet or who the possible candidates may be?

And that southward creep is likely to continue - Cidex still has its Hat Elbow river at 50-something storeys, and there's the rumour of something possibly even bigger on the Stampede Station lands, so if all 3 of those go ahead at some point the area around 17th will change dramatically.

Vesta shifts focus from Vancouver to Alberta: 'The money's leaving'
Vesta Properties, a major real estate developer headquartered in Vancouver, has made the strategic decision to shift its focus to Alberta amid what it considers a less business-friendly political environment in British Columbia.

If this project is indicative of the quality they will pursue in future work here then they are more than welcome in our town

If the quality of this is high, the capital C City needs to celebrate this, they should honestly give out design awards. Would it be a bridge too far to accelerate development of "preferred" developers that have a history of well executed and nicely designed development?

When is this expected to break ground?

Probably not for a while? Since this is going to be mostly condos, they're starting sales this summer and will need to hit at least 50% before they'll start.
There's also no development permit. The earliest groundbreaking would be like 6 months after they submit a DP.

The long term viability of their deficit spending aside, the billions of deficit spending on building infrastructure, transit, hospitals, etc. and hiring healthcare workers is also driving human capital and companies the other way.

Vancouver's geography is its best asset. Other factors can shift things around but people don't live in New York because it smells good.
