This , of course , is not an exhaustive list — there are numerous other projects of varying scales currently under construction or proposed that will further propel Vancouver ’ s architectural stature .
This includes The Stack ( Vancouver ’ s soon-to-be tallest office tower at 161 metres ) at 1133 Melville Street , the Passive House residential towers at 1468 Alberni Street with their faux-heritage flare and limestone cladding , and the sophisticated curves of the Oakridge Centre redevelopment , just to name a few . While one may not love all these designs equally , they will be noticed and they will be worthy of conversation , something the urban realm should always strive to achieve .
After decades of monotony , Vancouver is on the verge of shedding its cookie cutter image .
