Westwood St and Glen Dr are disappearing. 4 levels high now. The section closer to Westwood/Glen will only be 5 levels high.

This map of the neighbourhood is from Coquitlam Q the Map show the Sophora site. Just next door is the Pine & Glen site by Omni. A couple billboards went up in the summer. Also across the street at 3055 Glen and neighbouring spots, they knocked down some vacant houses, so there is something happening there. It covers about 8 of those parcels at that corner.



I'll post some other photos from ground level later.

This was the deepest that they dug the excavation, just before the concrete started to be poured.

Progress on the underground parking.

Images are worthy of a gif https://makeagif.com/i/EjJq-S

Put together very quickly (no straightening or fine adjustments)

That's cool! I meant to make something like that, but didn't know how. Will have to play around with that tool. Thanks

They've added some wood to the part of the building facing the intersection of Glen and Westwood. Looks nice, can't wait to see it completed.

It's also starting to get pretty tall.

Looked at it again today, it looked exactly the same as three days ago unless I missed something. No surprise there
