Construction of the Olympic Village is almost completed and it looks impressive. One would expect the buildings to be in the same or similar style since they are built quite close to each other but instead there are many different styles of construction.
Some of the water front buildings were designed by legendary Arthur Erickson and must be among his last creations before his death - these buildings have an irregular exterior with different floor plans on each floor and have aluminum sheets on the exterior which resemble fish scales.
Construction is at Platinum LEED standard so very environmentally friendly. There is a large open area - a plaza - in a central location, the village adjoins the seawall and an island has been created in False Creek on the SW side of the Village.
Some units at the Village will only be sold at a later stage.
