Remember that the RCMP site is also in the Green Timbers precinct of Surrey - not in Surrey Central City. That's also why it has a "campus" design (although much of the open space is paved - the trees in the parking lot will eventually grow...).

Any Word on when this is due to be complete and when they will be moving in?

According tot he project, construction was to be completed December 23rd 2012. So if that is still on track, everything as of today should be complete and I'd imagine they will start moving assets in the new year.

According to my family member who will be working there this is the last week of having to commute all the way out to Vancouver.

Im surprised that there hasn't been any pomp and pageantry? Or official handover or politico photo ops announced...

Last I heard there is still fighting over who is going to pay for it long-term. $260M to construct and over $1B long term including maintenance.

Feds, province and Surrey are all arguing about it.

Looks like a Yankee flag in this rendering

RCMP Have been investing a lot in new police stations this one and the new one in Richmond I like this one a lot better than the on in Richmond.

I believe this facility in Surrey is unique and completely different circumstance from the one in Richmond. An RCMP detachment that was urgently short on space took over the Olympics security center. Not the same as a massive regional facility.

from experience im saying as having worked on the richomnd detachment see what E division looks like and what the new Richmond detachment looks like is like night and day.
