Vancouver skyline, image by Marcus Mitanis

Vancouver is booming.

During the last year at SkyriseCities, we’ve watched Telus Garden rise from a pit in the ground, we’ve seen Trump Tower from just about every angle, and we’ve taken in the city skyline from Grouse Mountain. Over in the Forum, you’ve shared your best skyline shots, kept an eye on the Evergreen Line, and followed the rise of some of Vancouver’s tallest towers.

That’s why we’re excited to welcome you to SkyriseVancouver, a dedicated site for news and discussion about development right here in Vancouver.

On our front page, we’ll be tracking new development proposals and keeping you posted as these projects rise. We’ll bring you the latest construction updates from our community of urban photographers and show you another side of the city each morning with our daily photo and news roundup.

Get lost in the Database while hunting for updates about Vancouver House. You might find yourself looking at Westbank’s other projects and wondering when there will be more news about Alberni by Kengo Kuma. You’ll notice that one of our Forum Contributors has captured a photo of a banner promoting the project on site, which could start to make the project feel more real.

Explore the map to see what’s been proposed around the corner or across town. Whether you’re tracing your route to work or dreaming about life downtown, our map lets you visualize the Database while sorting projects by status and building use.

Share your photos, questions, and opinions in our Forum, where you’ll find a thread for each Database entry and discussions about local neighbourhoods and construction. The Forum is where you’ll find insider project information, daily photo updates from around the city, and new perspectives on development. Not to mention details that haven’t yet made the front page. If you’re already a member of UrbanToronto, SkyriseCalgary, SkyriseEdmonton, or SkyriseCities, your login information will work here too. If not, you can sign up right here.

Now that you’re here, there are lots of ways to get involved. Submit your shots to our Daily Photo thread for a chance to be featured on the front page. Sign up for our newsletter to get weekly updates or follow us on Twitter to see stories as they come out. And if you’d like to work with us or promote a project on our site, we’d love to hear from you at contact@skyrisecities.com.
