GreenTee is Korean, not sure if they were started here or not, they recently bought the Westwood Plateau golf course in Coquitlam.

Golf in Korea is insane. They have so many golf stores and brands with just golf gear like Descente, Lanvin, A.P.C., Lacoste, Nike, and many high-end brands.

Seems kind of fishy to suddenly appear out of no where two years ago splashing all this cash without a lot of details on the funding. And owning some random Kerrisdale restaurant. Might have had a background in construction but still seems really odd.

I assume some recent photos of Oakridge Park. Seems like 2026 completion on the towers at this rate.

Interesting observation:

If you click on "Hotels" on Westbank's "Body of Work" webpage, Oakridge Park comes up.

Could be the VIP Suite shown here.
Not sure what that is, maybe a waiting room for retrieving cars or car washes, detailing, etc.
There are three units inside each with a washroom.

They have a Luxury Evo car share too

Quote:
Oakridge Park Car Share Program
The Oakridge Park Car Club will lease 75 to 100 luxury vehicles per year and will feature an extensive range of SUV, convertible and sedan vehicles. Residents at Oakridge Park will enjoy the opportunity to choose the vehicle most suited to their needs at that time, as well as will be granted access to premium valet and detailing services.

would they make a luggage drop off there for YVR? re that YVR CRU
In Seoul you can check in and drop off your bags at Seoul station and then catch the train to the airport, I used it and they give you access to the staff entrance to bypass the general passenger security lineup, I was through security in under 5 minutes, the regular line was very long and probably 20+ minutes.

I don't see how this could be possible without implementing infrastructure changes on the train, specifically dedicated lugguage trains on the Canada Line to the airport.

I'm also very curious about the purpose of this CRU.

Are those check in stations still a thing on Canada Line stations?

It would only make sense as a VIP service for clients with a vehicle transporting luggage.

Barf. But not surprising given their target market.

Remember that all of their parking is by lease [and valet?] only, so it'll actually be expensive to own a car and store it there.
I would think that would discourage their target market.

Sounds perfect for part-time residents.

I think they are long term leases (ie 10 years?) but no automatic renewal.

You'd think that would be a hard sell - giving up autonomy like that.
This doesn't say the valet is mandatory, but I thought it will be (?)

Quote:
Valet
For those who prefer to drive their own vehicles or soon potentially be autonomously driven in their own car, Oakridge will offer an unprecedented range of options and services. Looking to the future, Oakridge is concentrating on three themes: electrification, automation and shared mobility. From day one, the automobile experience will be defined by convenience and flexibility. Oakridge is one of the only projects in the world where the residents will not own a parking spot. The 6,000-car garage will have valet and be fully electrified, with a zero-carbon energy source. Every Oakridge Park resident and visitor will have access to valets who will park, clean and charge their cars for them.

The Oakridge Park mobility program will emphasize flexibility and choice. Oakridge will offer the best and most convenient form of transportation to residents and visitors, available when needed.
