[Whalleyboy]

they where waiting on approval for it since they where adding a extra floor and making changs. They got it but it was hard cause the parking/foundation had already been layed and it was for a smaller building then what is gonna get built now.

[Diet Butcher]

QuattroLiving posted this to Twitter

Quattro developer is expanding the development by adding more land, making it the largest affordable multi-family residential community in Metro Van.

They also mentioned that for Quattro 3 "Currently part of the parkade is completed. Estimated completion for the entire building is 2012."

[tybuilding]

I visited the Quattro development on Saturday. It is pretty nice. The upper floor has 10 foot ceilings and a nice kitchen.

[Diet Butcher]

How was the rest of that area is it cleaning up? I think the Developer Tien Sher deserves a lot of credit for going in there, building and helping to transform the area.

[whalley13]

There was a news item that tien sher bought a two acre parcel on hilton....is this the empty lot behind fireside cafe etc?

Anybody know if the foundation issues have been worked out and if construction is starting up soon? I noticed the signs have been completely changed/ the heavy "buy me" signs are gone replaced by quattro branding signs>>>>>

[Whalleyboy]

So i just drove by there and notice they city has put a bylaw office (i believe it was) in the same building as the red hot videos building.

[Whalleyboy]

so i messaged to find out whats going on here and got this
Hi Erik,

Thank you for taking an interest in the Quattro Development and the Surrey area.
We are currently marketing Quattro 3 for presales to obtain our construction financing. It is our expectation that the project will be underway in February 2011.
If you would like some additional information on the Quattro Development we recommend that you to visit our sales center at #114 - 10768 Whalley Boulevard, Surrey, BC. You an also check out our website at www.quattroliving.com

[whalley13]

Hmmm, doesn't sound encouraging, hard to make sales, imo, with brookland offering similiar prices and construction is actually happening

[Whalleyboy]

So they fixed up the hoem page for this right now and have this nice interactive map image with future plan areas listed on it

[officedweller]

"Flamingo"?

[SpongeG]

its where the Flamingo hotel is now? isn't that what the hotel is called there?

and what is the Tien Sher?

[whalley13]

Tien Sher is the developer, flamingo site is the flamingo hotel and future project site. Hilton is the site Tien Sher bought in the summer.

[SpongeG]

so its real? its gonna happen? now or in the 2025?

[Whalleyboy]

I'd go with the later since this company moves slow

[surrey1]

its the oldest trick in the book...a developer promises future large developments right beside the current smaller development in order to drive up demand...if you were investing in quattro would you prefer pawn shops and seedy motels beside you or a shiny new building?

there is way too much of this goingf on in surrey..the city/developers do not set realistic goals..they keep planning these 40 story condos or giant office buildings that are way too big for the market. There should have been a lot more 20-25 story developments over the past 5 years like City Point.

[sryboy]

Excellent point Surrey1! :tup:

[officedweller]

Thanks for the info - didn't know there was an exitsing motel called the Flamingo.
The Hilton in the render looks lowrise - I wonder how well it would do in that area - i.e. away from Gateway office buildings and not on the future LRT to Guildford (on 104th).

[whalley13]

The hilton one should do fine even closer to skytrain than quattro.....i know quattro was having parking problems but i have noticed signs up for a car co op and a renewed marketing campaign....i am wondering if the parking problems have been cleared up and sales are enough now that they will start up construction on quattro 3 in the spring?

[Whalleyboy]

The parking thing was cleared up a while back. The problem they where having is they wanted to add another floor to the 3rd building but there foundation was already set for a building with 1 less floor. So in order to deal with parking there doing a car co-op to try and help have less people there with cars

[jhausner]

I continue to say it, they need to make "Downtown Surrey" a destination. It is still missing a lot of things that will help increase the demand.

I agree that it should be building more 20-25 storey towers to get people moving in quicker to the area. In turn there should be more things being built FOR the people moving there. Movie theater anyone? The closest is Guildford then Strawberry Hills.

How about some nice restaurants. If you want to eat even at a standard chain restaurant you need to go up to Newton, over to Scott Road, or to Guildford / Fleetwood. It's these very simple and easy things that would make the area more liveable. They really should look at some of the ideas Burnaby has done in the Brentwood Town Center. Would be nice to see a few more developments that were Commercial bottom floor, a restaurant second floor, residential tower above.

*shrug* Probably not that easy in practice but when I look at the city centre (which I'll be relocating to in about a year) I hate the fact that I have to drive OUT of downtown just to find a good selection of restaurants or even watch a movie. It also seems logical with SFU being there. You build a library to cater to the center and University population moving in, well they also like to drink and have a little fun.

[Whalleyboy]

There are some nice little restraunts already in Surrey That arent chain ones. Also with the theater thing theres a reason why All theaters are in an agreement that theaters can normally only be so close to one and other. Due to central not having enough people to justify another one going in its gotta wait a while.

Give it time, it will happen. The populations of people in the newest towers has definitely added foot traffic to the area, especially Central City. I would bet that City Hall will drive demand for more restaurants/eateries, and if the SFU residence tower is ever built, it will help create the need for more nightlife opportunities.

One of the biggest problems is that the local market is currently too small to support a lot of the chains you are asking for. Let's look solely at movie theatres. Guildford is literally a ten minute bus ride away. With, what is it, maybe 15 screens? It's way too close to Central. Then there's the new urban cinema opening in New West, which will be a ten minute SkyTrain ride. It wasn't all that long ago that DT Van didn't have the Scotiabank theatre. I think Central could support a more unique, smaller theatre venue, like a cross between the Rio/Clova and the VanCity cinema. It could play select Hollywood movies, as well as reruns of classics and a variety of film fest fare. That would be enough to set it apart from the other chain cinemas. The problem is capital and investors willing to financially support such a venue.

Let's examine restaurants as well. Many of the good chains, as you noted, are already located in Newton or Guildford. The only duplication off the top of my head would be White Spot and Boston Pizza. Guildford has a Red Robin's, Earl's, Keg, and Moxie's. Newton's Red Robin recently closed though, which is perhaps the best indication of how small the local market is. Many of the chains located in Guildford do not want to open up another location in Central, as it would just cannibalize their sales. The only option would be to re-locate, though chains typically choose purpose-built venues, space which will only be provided through commercial re-development. Relocation would further be contingent on a restaurant's lease being up.

That said, there are a number of chains that I could see possibly moving into Central within the next ten years or so. Brown's just opened up in Panorama, and Five Guys is in Grandview - these are both great brands that could open up a second location in North Surrey if Central has the right space, the right image, and the right clientele. The closest Cactus Club is in Strawberry Hill, and there's no Joey's south of the Fraser. Montana's is always popular among the suburban crowd, as is the Olive Garden in Langley. Milestone's is another decent option with no location in North Surrey. ULounge is a popular bar in South Surrey, and the Shark Club is big in Langley.

[Whalleyboy]

Most of the chain restraunts in central try and get in the mall. But theres a chance i could see more come in to the are soon with the commercial building for park place being built with a restraunt in mind also the medical tower being planed has room for a resraunt on its second floor

Also speaking of place in grandview that could open in central the guy who owns Memphis Blues BBQ House when i was talking to him says he hopes to open one out in central down the line.

Another thing I will say they need to look at opening in central is a night club or two. Although I dont see it happening easily since the current councial isnt really looking for stuff like that in the area.

we could almost make a thread of what we think/want to see come to central area lol

[VanCvl]

More chain restaurants would be the last thing that I'd like to see their. People should be supporting the locally owned restaurants - Central City Brew pub, A Taste of Punjab, Yokohama Japanese Restaurant, Big Olive are a couple of my favourites in that area.

When City Hall, the hospital expansion and the new RCMP headquarters are built that will really increase the demand for new restaurants. Things are going in the right direction but they just take time.

[Whalleyboy]

big olive is gone now isnt it? or did they move?

[SpongeG]

it takes time to happen

it could use a decent highrise hotel - maybe a rooftop restaurant - somewhere nice where the kiddies can have their grad parties - now they have to go downtown Vancouver

look at yaletown it took a good decade to become what it is today - back in 94 we all thought it was a joke that they were attempting to make it a neighbourhood

[SpongeG]

central surrey could perhaps get a movie theatre that specializes in foreign or art house films there are a lot of those that since tinseltown changed hands never shown anywhere in the city except maybe for fifth ave which frankly sucks the seats are bad the screens are bad overall bad movie watching there imo

even an all bollywood theatre would do well - strawberry hill plays loads of indian movies at least 3 or 4 every week now

[rbostyle]

even an all bollywood theatre would do well - strawberry hill plays loads of indian movies at least 3 or 4 every week now

There used to be a Bollywood cinema where the Steve Nash Club is on the Delta side of 120th, in strawberry hill. It occupied the old Cineplex building after they moved across the street and became The Grande. I'm not sure if it was the location of lack of patrons, but it closed down a number of years ago, and the space was converted into a sporting goods store before it became fitness world / steve nash.

[SpongeG]

yah i went to that one once - it was horrible really bad

me and my friend always go to Strawberry Hill to see em - they get all the big releases

the Raja on kingsway is really bad

considering the popularity and large indian population i think vancouver could support something

[whalley13]

I thought a movie theatre was part of the plan for the berezan lands....i guess that is on the backburner.....I am feeling positive about local market recently, good chance that ultra and quattro will get going in the spring finally.

The problem is capital and investors willing to financially support such a venue.

I don't know about that. Vancouver Downtown had Capital 6 theatre for 85 years. It was only closed down when Scotiabank was completed so technically downtown Vancouver has had a major movie theatre with multiple screens for 90 years give or take. You add to that Tinseltown (now renamed) which serves Yaletown, and you have quite the coverage. Tinseltown though is fringe and the main was always Capital 6 when I was younger.

Also the logic about things being a 10 minute bus or skytrain ride away doesn't really cut it. Do you think it would fly telling someone in Metrotown that to watch a movie or go to a restaurant they have to jump on skytrain and go to New West or downtown (both 10 minutes away for them). Not a chance.

And population wise I am still not 100% sold. Surrey Central the core itself has only about 30,000 people but Walley combined is around 96,000. Downtown Vancouver is around 80,000 give or take. I think the population _could_ support at least something.

I'll give you an example. I live in Fleetwood and know a lot of people in the area. Those people will actually get in their car and drive 20 minutes to the Langley Bypass to go eat at a major chain restaurant like Montanas or the Olive Garden. So the fact they will drive that far, why in-turn wouldn't Surrey push for those restaurants to be constructed in the city center?

Boston Pizza for example is located in Langley and in Fleetwood (forgive me there are probably a few others). If it was instead in Central Surrey do you not think the people in Fleetwood may drive? Heck they already do to Langley and Surrey Central is far closer, it is more central. Obviously I'm simply arguing philosophically and in the real world you have already existing restaurants so it would be a hard sale to try and get existing ones to "water down" the pool of potential customers.

I do see your point though, I'm just saying it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. And I also agree we wouldn't need a mega 20 theater with 2 IMAX screens in the Central area. Just something nice that shows a fair selection so we don't have to drive to Langley. The reality is Surrey still isn't transit friendly and won't be for another decade. I am moving into Central Surrey and really into this notion of reducing how much I need to drive. I still own a big pickup and a nice sports car for fun times but in splitting my residence right now between Fleetwood and King Ed in Vancouver right off Canada Line, I have experienced fully in Vancouver this notion that I don't even need to touch my car for days on end. Even in central Surrey I'd have to drive for pretty much everything entertaining or sit on a sky-train for 25+ minutes.

I know things are improving, I just think if Surrey is serious they could push a bit more.


Let's examine restaurants as well. Many of the good chains, as you noted, are already located in Newton or Guildford. The only duplication off the top of my head would be White Spot and Boston Pizza. Guildford has a Red Robin's, Earl's, Keg, and Moxie's. Newton's Red Robin recently closed though, which is perhaps the best indication of how small the local market is.

The only option would be to re-locate, though chains typically choose purpose-built venues, space which will only be provided through commercial re-development. Relocation would further be contingent on a restaurant's lease being up.

I don't disagree. It would be difficult if not impossible to have existing chains open up. But here's a good example. Montanas which is a fairly popular restaurant. It was in Langley and none were in Surrey. It decided HEY let's move to Surrey. Do they construct it in Surrey Central or even Newton? Walley has a projected population of around 96,000. You have surrounding areas of Newton (population 123,000), Guildford (59,000), and Fleetwood (59,000). So a projected within 15 minutes drive population of 337,000 people.

Instead where does it get built? Morgran Crossing in South Surrey with a population of 76,000. All other areas of Surrey are AT LEAST 25+ minutes drive away and the bus service there? Pretty much nil. So business case wise I would find it hard to believe a population pool of 76,000 is > a population pool of 337,000. Is it land value that did it? Most likely. But it ultimately had to be aproved and it would appear to me as though Morgan Crossing > Central Surrey in this case according to council.

It just doesn't 100% add up to me thus why I decided to rant a bit. :) Now granted council can only vote on what is proposed and if the owner of Montanas proposes construction in Morgan vs Surrey Central then there isn't much they can do. My question though would be to the owner, why did he or she pick Morgan vs Surrey Central. I think that's what council has to ask because clearly it isn't potential population pool since Surrey Central would yield WAY MORE people than South Surrey and I'm not including the reverse of your cinema example in New West people jumping on sky train for a 10 minute ride to Surrey Central to go there.


That said, there are a number of chains that I could see possibly moving into Central within the next ten years or so. Brown's just opened up in Panorama, and Five Guys is in Grandview - these are both great brands that could open up a second location in North Surrey if Central has the right space, the right image, and the right clientele.

Exactly. You do have a lot of potential chains that could move in. Admittedly I'm not a huge chain eater and like to experiement from place to place randomly, but chains are big for a reason, people like them. And if you want to encourage more people to move into an area, you have to get the 'entertainment' side of things up to par at some stage.

I know I'm being impatient and it takes more effort, planning, and tweaking to accomplish this, but it was more of a rant. Swiss Chalet has done very well from what I can see in Surrey Central, I just think other chains could do well too and I'd sooner see some of the bigger named ones appear in Surrey Central instead of areas like Morgan, Grandview, or Clayton. Do they need restaurants? SURE! But not exclusively.

It's these very simple building blocks that lead to a viable town center and if Surrey wants it to be the new downtown for the Fraser Valley and a second destination in Metro Vancouver, it needs all these little things I think as much as it needs a new library or urban park.

[tybuilding]

Boston Pizza's are everywhere, Central City, Guildford, Newton, Cloverdale, Fleetwood. No need to drive very far. I do go out to Langley a few times a year to go to the Olive Garden and Coza.

[jhausner]

When City Hall, the hospital expansion and the new RCMP headquarters are built that will really increase the demand for new restaurants. Things are going in the right direction but they just take time.

I don't disagree, but at the same time locally owned doesn't necessarily mean good. You can stroll down Cambie street and point out 50 locally owned restaurants. I've eaten in probably 30 of them and out of that 25 were absolute garbage, 2 or 3 were good, and the remaining couple I'd eat at again. That's just on Cambie.

In Surrey Central you just named 4 places. Outstanding. :| And this is coming from someone who doesn't typically eat at chain restaurants. So my argument isn't actually for myself. I agree supporting local is a great idea... if it is good. I haven't tried A Taste of Punjab (admittedly I'm not big on Indian even though I was raised in Newton lol) or Yokohama (love Sushi so will give it a try). Bewhouse though is OK. Been there about 10 times and 8 of the times the service was OK but not outstanding and the food was passable but not amazing I want to go back. Live band and beer is really the selling point. As for Big Olive, is it still there? If it is I'll maybe give it a try. I'm a bit of a North American styled Greek Food snob so it has a standard to live up to unfortunately but if it's good I'd definately make a habit of it.

My argument isn't so much for having chain restaurants there because I personally like them, I don't actually. My argument was more towards what the mainstream is looking for. When I move into an area I want a nice fair selection of good food, easy to access stores, a place within walking distance I can buy my groceries at, and a fair amount of entertainment. I was simply pointing out a few of the simpler items that could be banged off like a theater and some chain restaurants. Let's face it encouraging local restaurants to move in is something near impossible for a city council to do. But chain restaurants are bigger and easier to attract if done right. And a movie theater is something I'd like to at least know is on the radar. We know a broadway style theater is in the works but it will be a while before I'm going to see Wicked at the Surrey Central Theater for the Performaing Arts let's face it.

:)

But it ultimately had to be aproved and it would appear to me as though Morgan Crossing > Central Surrey in this case according to council.

I do see your point, but it is important to note that businesses, especially chains, have so many factors beyond just accessible population. The market potential is the critical component. For example, it wouldn't make sense financially for Cupcakes, Lululemon, or even Starbucks to have opened their first stores in Guildford rather than in Vancouver's Westside. Their target markets simply don't fit the population makeup of many areas in the Metro.

I'm not saying this is the reason Montana's went to Grandview over Central, though I'm sure it is a factor. Montana's is a big brand known to middle class suburbanites. These people are buying all the new homes in South Surrey, Cloverdale, and Langley. The population of Central and North Surrey is predominantly lower income, ethnic backgrounds, more renters than owners, etc. Just doesn't fit with the business, at least not right now.

I'd suspect the bigger factor was that there was a land development company that deliberately sought out a major chain restaurant like Montana's, was willing to custom build a space for them, and offer the business a desirable lease rate. Outside of the Central City Mall, there's no dedicated group of people who have enough clout or power to incentivize and convince businesses to locate in the City Centre.

[theQ]

As for Big Olive, is it still there?

Big Olive is gone! It is now a recycling depot that moved from the plaza where city hall will be relocating. When Big Olive closed, there was a sign on the door announcing the retirement of the owner (there were two names on it) and thanking customers for their support.

However, Vlassis is still in Central City. They were the little Greek place that shared the same building as Mad Dogs (the building that the city expropriated), they have now moved to the 100 block of King George (east side) in the empty space where there was a 50s diner years ago. I haven't yet been to their new location, but I plan on trying them out this week.

I will, however, miss Big Olive, they had the best Greek food in the area - though I had always wished they were closer to the mall/sfu rather than being further east on 104th...

I also enjoy eating at Jake's Steakhouse at the Compass Point inn. The food is really good and they have great specials.

[CoryHolmes]

My favourite Central City eatery simply has to be Yokohama's on Whalley Bvld. Simply the best mom-and-pop food that doesn't come from a chain. Yeah, large chains are nice and all but there's little variety in them; order at one and you're pretty sure to get the same thing at every branch.

My second favourite would be Fresgo on King George. Decent food, good prices, HUGE portions. I have to be rolled home after gorging myself there :notacrook:

[SpongeG]

how about fresgos? i used to like them on davie have never been to the one in surrey tried once a few years ago but it was closed my friend and i were craving the fresgo mushroom burger... a fave at the davie street location

oops never saw the above post...

[Diet Butcher]

Anyone have an update on how this is progressing?

[whalley13]

I agree yokohama's is the best resto in d/t....close runner up is la concuistadora (sp?) the little mexican resto on king george....good food good prices very filling!!

Nice new place is Nahm thai bistro located in the new building behind seven eleven....went to eat there the other day and food was good, reasonable decor, and its the most modern looking resto in the area give it a try i reccomend it

[SpongeG]

where is the mexican place on king george?

[Whalleyboy]

Sorry but i think fresco is still the best in central

[whalley13]

haven't ate at fresco's in years....they used to make the most nasty end of night food....but everyone is entitled to an opionion i will stick to mine

La conquistadora is oppososite dell shopping centre on king george blvd...besides the motorcycle place

Another good mexican place is besides the dragon tattoo parlor behind the fireside cafe i forget the name of the place but there mexi brekky is good

on the strip top king for chinese and cucca manila for philipino food are good spots

[whalley13]

Good news!! looks like Quattro 3 is starting up....big cranes moving onto the property

Compare to the render on the first page - a couple of towers are missing -
but at least there are still two towers - but they don't seem to have the corner site.

Even after it's completely built out... I don't see how it will look like Yaletown... even in the renders.
