Those renders from Group 161 are terrible and distorted. Are they trying to make them look taller/bigger at the top? Makes my eyes go crossed eyed since the perspective is so wrong.

67-storey office and residential tower planned in Surrey

A 67-storey, mixed-use condominium and office tower is proposed for Surrey City Centre by Westland Living.

According to Chris Dikeakos Architects, the upcoming development at King George Boulevard and 102 Avenue will include:

Approximately 200,000 square feet of office and retail space within the first seven floors of the podium;
Full-floor amenity spaces on both level 8 and level 66
746 residential units
seven levels of underground parking
FAR/FSR (floor area/space ratio) of 10.73, including 2.95 commercial
The design of the tower with its distinctive, illuminated crown is inspired by nearby landmark buildings including the Central City office tower and Surrey Public Library.

Looks like it was an 7 storey podium.

Hmmm, not a fan of that podium for such a prominent corner.

I do like the setbacks from the street though. The concave facade creates a sense of 'place' in front of it.

I actually quite like it.

The crown certainly breaks away from what we are use to across the Lower Mainland.

Now whether it gets constructed to match the renders is a whole other story, but...

That render shows the tower sitting on flat ground, but 102 curves up into a hill. Which will it end up being?

The ceiling height of the ground floor retail looks tall enough to accommodate a rising sidewalk.

Noticing that the podium is consistent with the 'Core' a block away. As we recall GEC tower also has a large podium. Similar podiums help create uniformity at street level with the surrounding developments, especially ones by the same developer.

..,..and the same architect.

Dikeakos is also designing that tower as well, if I remember correctly.

That's a decent podium height for a downtown (compared to some in downtown Vancouver).

When is this tower moving ahead? I love the location and design.

It's 'in pre-construction' which usually translates as 'we're trying to sell enough of the 429 units to be able to build it'. No construction date: BuzzBuzzHome says 'The development is scheduled for completion in 2027'. So that's the earliest it might complete - so maybe a 2024 start?

Thanks for the info, so at least it is in sales phase and not just a vision.

The existing convenience store on this property recently did a renovation/ownership change, so I'm guessing it'll be there for a while

The two strip malls in the 13700 block of 104th Ave are now boarded up (save for one business at the very Southern tip).

I just noticed the location of this. It's going where Top Kings and Umami is currently. I was thrown by how small the render makes 3 Civic Plaza look
