To get a sense of how things are coming along at the Olympic Village construction site, have a look at the following pictures, which were taken during the past few weeks.

Also worth checking out are a few videos from GVTV.ca. On the GVTV homepage, click 'Video Archives' on the left side of the page, and then scroll down to 'Southeast False Creek Update'.
This latter video (which originally aired in 2004) has several shots of the area around the Salt Building, and provides an explanation of how building heights will be staggered, going back from the water. It also describes plans for the neighbourhood's commercial centre.
There's another video entitled 'Olympic Village Construction Update' that was shot in September 2006. Our previous coverage of that one can be found here.
