i would disagree with that
city centre is a much more build up density area and the rest of surrey grouped into it would mess it up
its nice to have central separated
its just people should be knowing what goes where better

^ True. Alright then...I will scratch off my posting above.

Whalleyboy · #**104** Posted **Apr 21, 2009, 4:40 AM**

Thanks.

After all Vancouver has its own downtown thread. So why can't Surrey.=P

Not enough users. Not enough interest. Not enough minor developments. I'm not going to sticky it until it has met at least two of three requirements.

Whalleyboy · #**106** Posted **Apr 21, 2009, 4:45 AM**

anyways i know this building is pretty much not gonna be done but i figured a nice pretty picture would change topic its the second Odyssey Tower. So its not really worth starting thread for it

photos from my photobucket

Whalleyboy · #**107** Posted **Jun 22, 2009, 12:09 AM**

well heres a treat

image is from my photobucket

Whalleyboy · #**108** Posted **Jun 22, 2009, 12:11 AM**

98fb · #**109** Posted **Jun 22, 2009, 1:52 AM**

^^^ what's the height?

CoryHolmes · #**110** Posted **Jun 22, 2009, 2:25 AM**

That's Central City II, so it's 35 storeys IIRC.

Any news/updates about that project?

Whalleyboy · #**111** Posted **Jun 22, 2009, 2:28 AM**

nope no luck on height
but you will still love me cause i give you more pictures=P

lets have fun and show a gateway one first

now here is central 2031 in there hope

and this of course everyone knows as 2075

all images are through my photobucket

This is interesting and maybe someone can confirm if these are just placeholder renderings or if they're actual designs? I know that the RFEOI put out by SCDC just wrapped up and a shortlist of teams was selected - the RFP hasn't even been released by SCDC. The shortlist is a pretty impressive group of the usual suspects but in the industry most agree that this is a gift to BTA for their work on the development plan.

850 K Square feet? damn.

Spork · #**114** Posted **Jun 22, 2009, 5:02 AM**

I think that the overall 800k square feet for SFU is more impressive. The current campus is 104k square feet, and the bby campus is 2.8 million sq ft - i don't even know if that is just instructional space.

Whalleyboy · #**115** Posted **Jun 22, 2009, 5:05 AM**

i also really like the thought of a museum being in central

looking at all those photos keeps making me want this to happen even more now and fast=(

Great finds, Whalleyboy.
- Lately I've been wondering if a landmark observation tower might be a great fit for dt Surrey... amazing views on each end of the compass, from the mountains, to the fraser valley, to vancouver, etc. Imagine it at the foot of King George (five corners), guiding you all the way down into Whalley.

They're not that expensive right? It's time the west coast one-ups the CN tower

, maybe taking some inspiration from the proposals coming out for that observation tower/park project in dubai but pacific northwest-erizing it.

Or... a ferris wheel. <ducks>

Seriously though, those images are really amazing. I'm particularly impressed with the Square that Surrey is building. Is Central City II only 35 stories tall? That render makes it look double the size of CC1, which is 25 stories tall.

That building is the best thing that has ever happened to Surrey. Who was responsible for bringing it to Surrey?

CC1 = ICBC & Provincial Government (Tech BC). ICBC was originally going to move their offices from North Vancouver (Lonsdale) to there, however they backed out and left a huge amount of empty space. Tech BC was a bit of a failure, who was picked up by SFU. ICBC sold the building.

CC2 = City of Surrey & SFU. I am sure they will also want a major tenant for that office tower before they start.

We should have the next tallest skyscraper in Surrey...now everyone around the world would know this city in the Metro Vancouver region!
Great way to gain attention!
