Well there you go thanks. Ok so it is still a bit shorter, around 345 feet right now @ 21 floorsish. So 3 more floors and it will be the tallest in Surrey.

Here is a link to the Corporate Report from January 2013 with the floor count revisions.

https://www.surrey.ca/bylawsandcounc..._2013-L002.pdf

From the report:

The original proposal considered by Council in June, 2102 comprised of a 76 metre (250 ft.) high, 26-storey hotel tower and a 144 metre (472 ft.) high, 45-storey commercial, office and residential mixed-use tower.

The development is now being modified to reduce the height of the hotel from 26 to 24 storeys and to add two floors to the residential component of the northerly tower of the project.

The developer also proposes to remove the indoor and outdoor amenity spaces and to replace the amenity spaces with residential dwelling units. A second floor is being added to the roof-top residential units to create 5, 2-storey townhouse-type units at the top of the building.

As a result of these revisions, the northerly tower has increased in height from 45 storeys to 48 storeys, or from 158 metres (518 ft.) to 164 metres (538 ft.), measured from ground level to the top of the mechanical penthouse.

Building height as of Aug 26. Currently working on residential level 22, or roughly 35 storeys high when you include the hotel floors with 2 double height podium levels.

Thanks that's what I was looking for. So floor 21 = ~346 feet. Central City = 367 feet, Park Avenue East = 375 feet (is topped out), and Park Avenue West will be 395 feet roughly when topped. Means ultimately for 3 Civic to be tallest it needs to butt up against the 400 feet mark which is floor 26 being completed and them working on floor 27 of the residential tower.

So when they are on floor 27 it will be officially the tallest, so mid-October, and have another 9 residential floors + the top part to complete.

Can't wait.

Still so much to grow! Does anyone know Residence level 1 (start of the purple section) is usually what level from the ground?...given the double level podium floors?

^ That's cool. I wondered what the concrete form looks like.

That's some fancy rebar work too.

Explains why it's rising so slowly. Seems like they're pacing at 1.5-2 weeks per floor. Last rise was beginning of last week. Looks like theyre getting ready to go up another level tomorrow.

Sept 6. Office glass making progress. Condo portion has risen 1 floor since my last pic from this view on Aug 24. Will continue to rise to more than double the height it's at now. For reference there are currently 13 floors above the hotel amenity roof. Still another 16 + 2 storeys of mechanical to be added.

Nice update. Is this the only building in Metro Vancouver that has office, hotel and residential together?

The Georgia maybe?

- 33 floors of residential with 156 condos,
- 8 floors providing 60,000 sq. ft. of office space,
- 3 floors for hotel usage, 1 floor of retail, 1 mechanical floor
- 7 levels of underground parking.
- major renovation of old hotel

Guess it depends what they mean by "hotel usage"

^3 Civic is even more mixed-use though with KPU, retail, fitness club, and restaurants going in the podium. Likely the most mixed-use building in Metro Vancouver.
