The new development at Bwood is starting to look pretty good, so on a recent holiday I decided to check it out. 

Sort of amazingly, I was able to get access into the construction site from an unlocked door in the mall's service corridors.

From the street I had seen one security guard patrolling the perimeter. I didn't see him inside, but I didn't rove much. I got my bearings and made a beeline for the big condo tower.

I trudged up approximately fifty flights of stairs, then the stairs ended. I climbed two more flights of rickety scaffold stairs in the elevator shaft, but couldn't nerve myself to climb the last big section onto the "roof".

The views were tremendous, the sun was just setting, I could see all of Greater Vancouver and beyond.

I retraced my steps and, exiting the site and the mall, reassumed my law-abiding anonymity. But secretly I felt like hot shit.
