A $1-million, 4,300-square-foot screen wrapped around a Metrotown condo tower was touted as the largest non-commercial urban art LED display in North America, but it hasn’t lit up for years.
A giant, three-storey, mesh LED screen on the side of a Burnaby Metrotown condo tower that hasn't lit up since 2021 has become the subject of a legal battle.
"Due to the removal of the transformers, the digital screen is currently inoperable," states the petition. In February 2023, the strata says it was contacted by the city's lawyers demanding the strata "take immediate action to make the digital screen operable once more." It is also asking for declarations that the owners breached the strata’s bylaws by removing the transformers and not allowing the inspections.
