And it's almost 100% it will be lead by the Vancouver but collaborating with other offices. They have a managing director in Vancouver now. In January they had 5 people and planned on hiring more through the year.

Construction start in 2022?
They seriously believe their application process will get through the City of Burnaby's rigamarole and buzzsaw in under a year?
They're seriously way over-optimistic with that timeline.
Unless they start the rezoning and DP applications late this year (for a possible construction start late next year after all the readings, Public Hearings, etc), I just don't see that happening.
And while 235m would indeed make it the tallest in Metrotown (besting Concord Sears' 230m), I'm still not entirely convinced that that would make it taller than the Lougheed tower.
But there's a good chance that if they do keep that timeline and meet that construction deadline, that for a while it could be the region's tallest tower.
