This is "Commerce Place". At 289 feet (88m), it ranks as 73rd tallest of the 632 high rises (12 floors or more) in Vancouver. Built in 1986, this highly reflective building features an impressive 12 individual corner offices on each of it's 21 floors. The design and shining glass make this one of Vancouver's most stunning high rises.

Hello Dan,

Wow!
I would hardly believe that such picture can be taken just by a camera without any Photoshop stuff!

The combination of neat details of leaves and window frames is joyful to an eye. A great work.

Alexander.

Great shot Dan! I used to work in this building a few years ago, so I recognized it right away. The mirrored surface makes some great shots, and I often looked out my window to see tourists taking pictures of the building. Great use of the surrounding trees to frame this, and to catch the intersecting lines. Excellent!

Hi Dank. Great shot, almost abstract because the reflections reflected itself, making hard to see the line that divides building and reflection. There is a supeb graphism here, and it's a very well idea shot the building against the blue sky. Thanks.

Angel.

Hello Dan,

Fantastic shot! I love the framing by the tree to the right. The thing that amazes me the most is the reflection on this building. It almost looks like a maze of lines. Great composition, beautiful light and great details! Excellent work, Dan!

Greetings,
Ann

Dan what is really interesting here is without assuming that this is a high rise...one could be convinced that its 3D rendering of three different structures that are meshed into each other. The building in the center is inside the buildings on the left and right. I think Kev Ryan would really like to see this photo. Good work Dan!
