Pics like this are always interesting, where you can see single-family home neighbourhoods slowly turning into higher density.

I suspect in 5 years from now this photo will be completely different. There are so many comparisons to be made about the quality of streetscaping or streetlighting or other such things between the new development and the old ones. I think we all know (and generally support) the need for redevelopment to meet housing targets, but it's a very odd and surreal thing to actually see it happen to things other than, say, parking lots and strip malls (Burquitlam/Lougheed are just one example of where it's usually SFHs razed to make room for towers/apartments). It really awakens some bizarre sense of nostalgia and wonder for the future (maybe that's just me).

Interesting article. "Surrey is now the nation's 11th largest city, equal to Quebec City and Hamilton" and "Surrey has a land base that can fit all of Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby within our borders."

While there are comments about new towers and how the lot sizes are larger than CoV, I don't see a lot of developments like this NoF, although there seems to be a ton of newer ones SoF.

nice render.

108th has three projexts next to each other on the go. Q5, across the street is another one whose name I forget, but also a 6 storey and then right next to that to the east is Radley.

Q5 has reached the ground level in the construction phase. The one across the street is still being excavated and the Radley has equipment on site ready to start.

A block or so further east is Viktor which still needs to finish clearing but has fresh new markings on the site, and kitty-corner is another new project that is I think only in the sales coming soon phase. 108th is getting quite busy these days.

Didn't the current Mayor when he was Mayor before say people from Surrey can go to Vancouver to party etc cause he doesn't want bars/clubs in Surrey, also seems to be against Cannabis shops. Please stop voting him in.

He was voted in because he was all about replacing the planned LRT down Fraser Hwy with Skytrain - and that's pretty much it.

A few choice bits from Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_McCallum):

Doug McCallum was elected mayor in the 1996 election. He was seen as having pro-business and pro-development views, and campaigned on enhanced public safety and enacting the zero-based budgeting model in municipal governance to achieve zero-increase property taxes, which was a misstatement about the purpose of zero-based budgeting, which operates similarly to the planning-programming budgeting system but rather than submitting the previous operating numbers, departments or units submit zeros and councils determine a new figure.

He won re-election as Surrey's mayor in the 1999 and 2002 municipal elections.

...

After Watts announced she would not seek re-election in 2014, McCallum announced his intention to run for the position in the November 2014 election. Part of his Safe Surrey Coalition campaign included resistance to the city's renovating Newton Athletic Park to recruit the USL Pro team of the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. McCallum lost to Watts' successor, Linda Hepner, coming in second place with 26.97% of the votes.

n 2018, McCallum sought to get elected after previous Surrey Mayor, Linda Hepner, said that she wouldn't seek re-election. Surrey First appointed then city councillor Tom Gill to run the Surrey First slate. In McCallum's Manifesto for his Safe Surrey Coalition slate, he pledged to replace Surrey's planned Light Rail Transit system with expanding the already existing SkyTrain network connected to Vancouver and the rest of the lower mainland. His plan would see the Expo Line extended from King George station to Langley.

...

Also a 2019 BC Business (https://www.bcbusiness.ca/Surrey-Mayor-Doug-McCallum-is-back-but-his-future-and-the-citys-is-uncertain) article:

Many people didn’t expect McCallum, who reigned as Surrey mayor from 1996 to 2005, to win last year, even though he’d won every election handily during that time on his no-tax-increases, keep-the-city-problems-out-of-our-suburb platforms. But he’d been soundly beaten in 2005 by then–city councillor Dianne Watts.

...

Then there are those in the middle, who are simply trying to figure out what’s going on and are baffled by events so far. “We have no idea what his economic path forward is,” says Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman. “Before the election, Surrey was thriving, we had the health-tech district, we were the city to watch. There was so much excitement. Now it’s stopped.”

...

Besides the political wrinkles, early public consultations showed that while Surrey residents appear to be enthusiastic about the switch to SkyTrain, they’re twitchy and dubious about the potential cost of redoing the police force.

Now their city is led by the guy who picked a fight with the RCMP when he was mayor before because he didn’t like them making crime statistics public, adamantly opposed homeless shelters and never seemed to meet a development he didn’t like. That last topic is particularly key, as Surrey keeps pushing through dozens of development approvals a year.

...

Since McCallum arrived, the City has pulled out of the health-tech innovation hub and the Surrey Local Immigration Partnership. He’s put several projects on hold, including an arts centre, a library, a community centre and an ice rink. And you get the feeling he’d like to tear down the expensive city hall that Watts got built, as her way of enticing development to Surrey City Centre. To Watts, it feels like a bad flashback. “I do worry about the city,” she says. “We have come so far, and I do worry that we are going back in time.”

...

He says he now has a different approach to homelessness, after serving on the board of the Law Foundation of British Columbia. Because the foundation gives an annual grant to First United Church, which runs a homeless shelter at the church, he got a close look at the shelter’s operations. There, he says, he became convinced that you can’t push homeless people from one place to another to solve problems. “The homeless, where they locate, that’s their home. I said, ‘Let’s not try to move them; let’s make their home better.’”

But he’s still a development keener. “I believe in development. It creates a huge number of jobs.” It just doesn’t belong everywhere. McCallum says he will let the people decide where it goes. He’s already told some big developers privately that they should stick to building close to transit and to areas already zoned for high density.

You grossly underestimate the modern voter's capacity for amnesia or their pliability for being distracted by bright new shiny things to make them forget.

Over across the pond they have a Prime Minister who was supposedly "finished" after a scandal revealed where he was shown to be having beer-drinking parties while the rest of the country was supposed to be isolating and not congregating and having parties.

And his excuse, of course,......." I didn't know I couldn't do that. Also I didn't know it was a party"

Nobody thinks he's going to be toppled anytime soon, now (.....especially with the Russia-Ukraine situation).

Lying about your foot being run over is small potatoes by comparison in political world context.

North Delta has 2, on scott road, approved by the city and another one open on Annacis Island. Couple stores in Queenborough as well. It's absurd that Surrey doesn't have one, but it's quickly becoming an outlier. Burnaby also relented and approved a few. I dont think Surrey's ban lasts with stores on scott road and much more open smoking behavior

Burnaby didn't "relent" - they decided to have one government store in each of the four town centres and then see how those do before deciding on any more. One is open, another is under construction and a third is going through the readings and will likely be under construction before the end of the year.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The majority of the South Asian community supports him. If they turn out in large enough numbers he can win. Also a lot of people in North Surrey would vote for Doug over Brenda because she has been known to bring in substantial social support and funding for the areas drug users keeping Whalley a ghetto.

AFAIK Safeway closed it in their last round of shutdowns. The pharmacy was open for a while after the store itself closed and now the pharmacy has moved into the smaller building in the parking lot next to the HSBC.

------

On 108th near 144 there are a couple of old 2 storey rentals, the bottom levels are boarded up but people seem to be still living on the second floor still. they will be replacing them with two 6 storey rentals according to the development application that has loing been removed.

Looks like there will finally be some life in this building.

Surrey’s long-vacant 104 Avenue building is ‘fully leased,’ and a new owner has the keys

https://www.surreynowleader.com/news/surreys-long-vacant-104-avenue-building-is-fully-leased-and-a-new-owner-has-the-keys/
Surrey’s long-vacant 104 Avenue building could soon see signs of life, now that a new owner has the keys.

Kuldeep Bansal says he took possession of the 271,000-square-foot commercial complex on Wednesday (April 27), and expects tenant improvements to happen this spring and summer.

“It’s fully leased,” Bansal said of the Whalley/Guildford building, bought for more than $55 million.

“We are now waiting for permits from the city to start completing the work, the tenant improvements,” he added. “It takes time for everything, so we expect tenants to move in in October or November.”

Tenants will include a grocery store, doctors’ offices, pharmacy, daycare, two colleges and B.C. government offices, he said.

The sale could signal the end of a long, 24-year saga for the notorious building, constructed in 1998. No long-term tenants have ever been found.

they have done some painting inside the main entrance, it's bright yellow and blue, was not like that a few days ago. But will be good to see that they can start building it out now.

Those three houses on the block to the east will need to get replaced soon, they just look so bad. Ditto the west, but there is a sign on the vacant lots that a new project is coming soon.

Also the NW corner of KGH and 108th has a new signage that says Financing provided by, that just went up in the last week or two, any idea whats going on with that corner?

I think whether or not a project has its own thread depends on the frequency of photo updates. If months go by without updates, then it's probably better if it stays in the general thread. (ie SkyRiseCities suffers from having too many threads which become buried on back pages and it becomes a chore to find a thread to post a photo).

Article in the Daily Hive by Kenneth Chan in the quoted section below. Lots of pictures in the article, click the link to view.

City of Surrey approves Fleetwood Plan of adding up to 100,000 more residents near future SkyTrain
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/surrey-fleetwood-plan-stage-1-approved-skytrain
The processes of reviewing area land use plans around future SkyTrain extensions in the City of Surrey and the City of Vancouver could not be more different.

While much controversy surrounds the highly dramatic and protracted process of reviewing the City of Vancouver’s Broadway Plan centred around the Millennium Line Broadway Extension, the City of Surrey recently approved a pivotal step in its own area plan process with little to no wrangling — to the extent that it essentially flew under the regional radar if it were to be compared with its counterpart.

After almost exactly two years of planning and public consultation, Surrey City Council has approved Stage 1 of the Fleetwood Plan, which densifies the Fleetwood neighbourhood around the area’s three future SkyTrain stations at 152 Street, 160 Street, and 166 Street — part of the forthcoming Expo Line extension along Fraser Highway to Langley Centre.

The planning area for the Fleetwood Plan spans over 2,200 acres along the Fraser Highway and future SkyTrain corridor.

Over the next 30 years, the Fleetwood Plan will catalyze at least a doubling in the number of homes — from 13,000 units today with 40,000 residents to 28,000 units with 84,000 residents, absorbing about 10% of Surrey’s overall annual average growth. The full build-out of the area plan over the longer term could reach 52,000 units with 142,000 residents — a population increase of about 100,000 residents compared to today.

The number of jobs created by new additional employment spaces — such as retail, restaurants, services, hospitality, institutions, and offices — would grow from 3,500 today to over 16,000 by 2051.

Following transit-oriented development best practices, the greatest building densities and heights will be situated closest to the new SkyTrain stations.

Up to 36 storeys would be permitted around 160 Street Station, where an employment district is envisioned to be the focal point of much of Fleetwood’s new commercial spaces and job growth. There would be lower core densities for the area around 152 Street Station, where towers would reach no more than 30 storeys.

New tower developments within the core areas of 160 Street and 152 Street stations would be required to dedicate the first several floors to active retail, restaurant, office, and/or institutional uses to create vibrant commercial areas next to the stations.

“Density and building heights transition away from the core station areas and frequent transit services. Transition areas, of mid and low-rise apartments and townhouses, provide a buffer between SkyTrain-oriented, higher-density, mixed-use areas and existing lower-density neighbourhoods,” reads the Stage 1 Fleetwood Plan.

“By focusing the majority of future redevelopment within strategic nodes and corridors, much of the existing lower density areas, at the peripheries of the Plan Area, are expected to remain single-family oriented. The plan provides opportunities for sensitive infill throughout these peripheral areas, including townhouses, rowhouses, semi-detached and urban single-family uses over time.”

The population growth would be served by new and improved community amenities, including new and expanded public parks, and community and recreational centres. This could be achieved through land acquisitions.

Major investments would also be made in active transportation, while also maintaining the functionality of existing arterial and collector roads. This includes maintaining Fraser Highway — Surrey’s equivalent of Vancouver’s Broadway — with a four-lane arterial road design standard.

During the public meeting on deliberating Stage 1 Fleetwood Plan, city council approved the strategy expeditiously, and there was a consensus on the exceedingly high level of support expressed by the neighbourhood throughout the planing process to date.

Councillor Laurie Guerra: “I think this is just another example of how council wants to move things forward and grow this amazing city. With the SkyTrain extension to Langley comes the Fleetwood Plan… [and] because of the SkyTrain coming down the Fraser Highway, which is one of if not the largest infrastructure project Surrey has ever seen, this Fleetwood Plan lays out the future of my neighbourhood. I support this wholeheartedly, and I am excited about the future of Fleetwood and the future of Surrey.”

Councillor Allison Patton: “What struck me as really encouraging is how positive the people were in their responses to the public consultation. It is actually really exciting and encouraging to see how excited Fleetwood is for this plan, and I do think the fact that we’re having SkyTrain down through the area is part of what’s bringing the excitement.”

Councillor Doug Elford: “The province is going to be coming after us about doing something about affordable housing. We need the flexibility to be able to deal with that. We’re getting all indications that they’re going to be demanding us to build affordable housing, and clustering around SkyTrain is something they’re looking at, and what we’re going to look at as well.”

Mayor Doug McCallum: “I was really impressed with the consultation with the public. To go through all that work asking the public what they want… and I was surprised by the support from the community. It was a large support overall. I truly was amazed. I think that’s a kickstarting of what SkyTrain is all about. The majority of this council campaigned on smart development. Smart development is exactly what this plan shows — it’s density along this corridor where SkyTrain is going to go. That’s smart development and how big cities are built in the future, no matter where in the world… This is a tremendous plan, and it’s certainly one of the best I’ve seen. It’s an example of getting people out of their cars, and it’s a main thrust that we have to do. SkyTrain is built for the young people… we’re a young city, and our youth will use SkyTrain.”

McCallum also suggested the Fleetwood Plan provides a baseline for the new development possibilities, asserting the densities could “easily get a lot more along this corridor, especially around the stations.” As an example, he specifically pointed to the organic high-density, transit-oriented development growth that has occurred around the Canada Line’s Marine Drive Station.

With Stage 1 now approved, city staff and city council have proceeded to Stage 2 of the Fleetwood Plan’s planning process, which will determine the precise details relating to aspects such as lot consolidation/land assembly regulations, building densities, building heights, building massing, building setbacks, parking requirements, transportation network, utilities, public and open spaces, and the community amenities strategy, including area-specific density bonusing and community amenity contributions (CACs).

In exchange for the multi-billion dollar SkyTrain extension investments by the federal and provincial governments, the City of Surrey and the City of Vancouver are required to densify the areas around the future stations. The Supportive Policies Agreements for the respective SkyTrain extension project in each community — signed between the municipal governments and TransLink — triggered the planning processes for the Fleetwood Plan and the Broadway Plan.

Construction on the Expo Line’s 16-km-long, eight-station extension from King George Station to Langley Centre is anticipated to begin in 2024 for an opening in 2028. The Millennium Line’s six-km-long, six-station extension to Arbutus will open in 2025.

Got this in the mail this past week. Am all for development and love the area for it, but with Surrey's focus on razor-thin street lanes (i.e. 100th Ave, et al), 133rd St (like Central Ave) is barely wide enough for golf carts, let alone vehicles. Adding this much density will effectively channel much of traffic to and from Evolve, Wave, Linea, Melrose, and even One Central through this already bizarrely narrow channel. Add to that the proposed daycare with its inevitable drop-off and pick-up traffic, one wonders how people are supposed to effectively traverse to and from their homes. Hmmm...

Small step forward in the plan to revitalize the Scott Road corridor in North Delta/Surrey.

Delta residents to get first glimpse of new Scott Road highrise
June 6th, 2022
https://www.northdeltareporter.com/news/delta-residents-to-get-first-glimpse-of-new-scott-road-highrise/

Delta residents can now register to get a first look at the soon-to-be-built highrise slated for the corner of 93A Avenue and Scott Road.

On Friday (June 3), the project’s developer, BM Group, held a grand opening celebration for the Walker House sales centre. Located at 9365 Scott Rd., the centre features a scale model of the project’s 29-storey tower as well as a full-scale and fully furnished mock up of one of the project’s two-bedroom units.

Once built, the mixed-use development in North Delta’s Townline area will include 264 market strata residential units — 52 studio, 105 one-bedroom and 107 two-bedroom — over 3,110 sq. ft. of commercial space, 3,660 sq. ft. of common indoor amenity space and 13,153 sq. ft. of common outdoor amenity space. The highrise is only the second ever approved in the city. The first, the 37-storey Delta Rise at 80th and Scott, was completed in May of 2017.

A six-storey building to be built on the west side of the property will contain 50 rental units on the first five floors (13 studio, 20 one-bedroom and 17 two-bedroom), 580 sq. ft. of common indoor amenity space on the sixth floor, and 6,070 sq. ft. of common outdoor amenity space. In a first for Delta, the rental units will be secured for 20 years through a site-specific rezoning, including 10 units locked in at below-market rates.

The project will also include a dedicated 3,775 sq. ft. childcare facility large enough for 30 children — 2,335 sq. ft. indoors, 1,440 sq. ft. outdoors — with ownership to be transferred to the city at no cost as part of the developer’s community benefits package.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better partnership than what we got and the support we got from Delta,” BM Group chairman Balraj Mann said Friday.

“We are emotionally attached to this area. I grew up here (…) I used to take the bus from here, right in front of this building,” he said, adding the project is especially important to the area’s South Asian community as it sits in the middle of the “Punjabi Bazaar” portion of Scott Road.

Mann said the project will mean a lot for the neighbourhood, especially young families looking to stay in the area.

“I know the need for the next generation like our kids. I think Delta residents, this will be a place for them,” he told the Reporter. “This project has a little bit of everything, with smaller units, bigger units, there’s also a rental component, there’s a daycare on the premises, lots of amenities. So it means a lot. I think we’re hoping that most of the product will be purchased by the people in the neighbourhood and their families.”

Mann also said he hopes the project will be the first of many that will transform the Townline neighbourhood “for the betterment of Delta, North Delta residents and the surrounding areas.”

“I think somebody had to take the lead. It’s risky when you do something for the first time,” he said. “I think we made a decision that will [encourage others to] take that initiative, and we’re feeling pretty positive about this.”

Mayor George Harvie said he was happy to finally see development happening in the Townline area, and called Walker House a flagship project that will spur on others.

“It’s going to be such a value-added asset to our community,” Harvie said. “More housing, that’s what we need, and more different types of housing.”

The mayor thanked Mann and his staff for “making this a quick, easy turn-over for us,” before jokingly reminding Mann of his promise to build 10 more such projects.

Speaking with the Reporter, the mayor said he was impressed by what he saw at Friday’s opening.

“I couldn’t say enough about the company involved. They’re good builders, and when you look at the suite here and what they’re offering, it’s amazing. The views are amazing, the daycare is also amazing, the other amenities, and some of the affordable housing options too. So really pleased and I can’t wait until it’s actually available for the public.”

Harvie also said revitalizing Scott Road is one of his top priorities should he be re-elected mayor on Oct. 15.

Sales manager Nagib Karim with Rennie & Associates Realty said the sales centre will be open to the public “in a few weeks,” with Delta residents given first priority to tour the facility and buy a unit.

“The reason behind this is we want to support the local Delta residents. It’s hard to find inventory in North Delta right now in this type of product, so they will have the first opportunity to come in and select a home,” Karim said.

Prices start in the “mid-$400,000” range, and it’s estimated the project will be completed in early 2026. Those interested can register for priority access at walkerhousedelta.com.

The project’s rental units will be available for lease just prior to completion, and prices have not yet been set.

Karim said local residents like to see a rental component to projects like this as they “stabilizes the asset.”

“The strata knows that BM Group is not just building this and walking away; they’re going to be your next-door neighbour, they’re going to be sharing the same backyard as you. So they have a vested interested in making sure that, every step of the way, 100 per cent quality is put into this, 100 per cent detail is brought into this. They don’t just want to build it and walk away. They’re name is also on it,” he said.

“[BM Group] are very hands-on with this project just because of what it means for the community. They are part of the community and have been for so many years, so having their roots established here, it really shows in what’s going to be delivered to the consumer.”

In October of 2020, the Mayor’s Housing Task Force for Scott Road released its recommendations for addressing housing and development challenges along the corridor and creating greater certainty about future development.

In its report, the task force identified the area — renamed the Townline Innovation District — as one that could accommodate the highest densities and tallest buildings, with the biggest located near 96th and tapering down towards 92nd.

The task force’s vision calls for a mix of live/work townhouses, mixed-use and residential structures up to six storeys in height, and mid- to highrise towers up to 18 storeys high, with the possibility of building up to 29 storeys when developers provide contributions towards community and neighbourhood improvements.

Several features and amenities would “contribute to the Townline Innovation District’s liveability,” including a centrally-located new park surrounded by active ground floor uses to help animate the space, a multi-use greenway trail along the railway corridor and 119B Street that would help link the district to other North Delta neighbourhoods, and a community space that could potentially include a daycare, recreation space, gym and/or youth centre.

“Innovation in design permeates this neighbourhood, with its industrial chic identity recalling the nearby railway and gritty historic uses,” the task force’s report says, noting the area is an ideal place to spearhead new construction materials and take advantage of the province’s push towards mass timber technologies for midrise and highrise buildings.

“While the district redevelops and evolves into a fully realized neighbourhood, existing affordable commercial and industrial properties will be prime locations to attract entrepreneurship, light industrial and creative artisan uses.”

That's quite a stark contrast to what's being proposed on the NW corner of 120th and 96th Avenue

It's the only "natural" spot for towers in Delta. Dingy old commercial pace that's increasingly abandoned, close enough to a skytrain station and separated from the suburban sprawl by a railway and power lines. Surrey doesn't really think about scott road that much. It's a main focus for Delta. I doubt Surrey would ever allow such tall buildings on their side. I do think a mass upzoning to like 12 stories would reasonable tho

More recent June 2022 renderings from Daily Hive and change in heights and tower placement:

There will be five condominium towers — 525 ft at 52 storeys, 486 ft at 48 storeys, 446 ft at 44 storeys, 397 ft at 39 storeys, and 367 ft at 36 storeys.
The towers will accommodate 2,017 condominium homes combined.

A comparatively modest sixth building, a 118-ft mid-rise structure, will contain 185 new rental homes with a combined total of 330 bedrooms, which will replace all 156 rental homes
in Bristol Estates’ 1960s-built, three-storey structures on the site. Existing tenants will be provided the right-of-first-refusal for the new homes and at below-market rents, while any
remaining rental homes will be offered at market rents.

that building on 104th that was said to be getting tenants is still sitting epty, there are also numerous broken windows still that have not been replaced. They just changed all the banners on the building, they removed the 80% leased banners and now have just FOR LEASE banners with doctors office and such on them.

Anyone know what happened? did the guy jump the gun with the press saying he had a big name high end grocery store moving in and some sports place and government offices etc? sounds like it remains a dud.

I thought I heard the building wasn't to code and that's one of the reasons that it's sat empty for so many years. If that's the case, might be that the City hasn't provided any occupancy to the new owner. But also leasing that whole place within two months sounded like a scam more than anything. There's a lot of empty leased spots around Central that are in better locations.

Yeah, something must be going on, they haven't even bothered to fix broken windows yet. The area is gaining a lot of 6 storey apartments so it's getting to be a walkable place.

The Tien Sher whalley tower project is starting to get deeper, good to see it happening.

trees have been cleared at 108th and 140th for a new 6 storey development on the corner. It will be the 4th active site along 108th. The Radley has started to dig in the last two weeks, that little stretch is quite busy with three projects at various stages of construction now. Q5 is up to the 4th floor, the one across the street is at floor 2 and the Radley is just getting going excavating.
