It'd be cool if Deltarise tweeted our some view from the top of their tower pics.

Some more views to the west / north:





Views to the south would be nice too as you would see all of Semiahmoo Bay / Gulf Islands.

Looks like they have ivy growing up some of the blank podium walls.

A 910 sqft sub-penthouse is renting for $3,300 which is a lot for this location and that size. I do like the patio size, though, and all cabinets at least look like to be high quality. Still, that price is astronomical for a condo in Delta.

Who ever is willing to pay that much is an idiot. Largest 3 bedroom available (1016 sqft) in Park Avenue on the 45th floor is going for $2495 a month.

I hear you and that is why I am bringing these up - to show how ridiculous asks there are.

I have also seen some good prices in Surrey, but surprised to hear that 1,100 sqft is the largest unit size in Park Avenue.

It's a little over 1300 sqft if you include the balcony space.

And my house is 5000 sq. ft. if you include my garden and deck.

[Klazu]

Yeah, including your patio or balcony space in the living space is stupid and an attempt to mislead people. I see this frequently on Craigslist ads and what is even crazy, landlords themselves seem to be buying their own BS, pricing the property as it would really be that size.

I just drove by this tower and was wondering why it has above parking or underground parking?

If you mean the parking between this and the low rise medical building on the corner, that lot is attached to the low rise. Apart from the tower, the only part of that strip mall that has anything like underground parking is the Superstore, and it's only built on stilts on fit a level of parking underneath it.

The tower, or the guy on the street?

Good point. Almost never drive 120 Street so I found this an interesting angle and worth a shot.

I recall there having been plans for more towers in the area but nothing has been introduced to the public.

"Another high-rise proposal in Delta". April 28, 2020. Sandor Gyarmati. Delta Optimist

From that article:

A report to council this week listed several new development applications received including property owner Penmat Mana and applicant Focus Architecture submitting a proposal for several properties at Scott Road and 93A Avenue for a mixed-use development comprising a 32-storey tower.

It would have ground-level commercial, a three-storey rental apartment building as well as indoor and outdoor common amenity space.

The proposal is for 285 residential units in the tower and 30 residential units in the rental apartment building.

...

Meanwhile, an application for another high-rise in North Delta that would be built in the Townline area has been put on hold by the applicant until the new neighbourhood plan is completed.

Maple Leaf Homes had applied to build a 32-storey tower in the 9500-block of Scott Road.

Another high-rise proposal for the North Delta Inn site at 70th Avenue and Scott Road, next door from Scottsdale Mall, is anticipated to be submitted this year.

The site is located within a designated higher-density, high-rise node in the corridor, unlike where a failed 35-storey high-rise proposal would have been built just down the road at 75A Avenue and Scott Road.

...

North Delta has a problem. It's a bedroom community with apparently a lot of nimbys - but it needs more tax money to pay for things so it has to build up somehow. All they've been doing is trying to build up along Scott Road and adding townhouses on 72nd, and even that seems to get the nimbys riled up.

Honestly the only issue I have with the 93rd and 95th Ave locations is there's an active rail line right next door. The failed one at 75A would have had retail and Scottsdale Exchange about a 5 min walk away (on the Surrey side as they've built up a bit). The location at 70th has some retail.

Surrey has been doing a much better job, building a lot of (admittedly stripmall style) retail with (gentle density) lowrises between 82nd and 64th. Meanwhile most of the North Delta side of Scott Road is the same as when I lived there decades ago. The only option they've got is to build towers and some lowrise buildings, which is getting a lot of nimby action.
