In this case, there's literally towers to the immediate west and north, and a Skytrain station within throwing distance. Doesn't seem like a big stretch in this location.

Good time to push for that "future" SkyTrain station straddling Kingsway.

Saw some new signage up for Boffo's project at Smith and Farrow in Burquitlam- behind the McDonalds/Lordco

Or two overpasses for the BC parkway to make it a straight through ride.

Hard to tell where the base of those towers are from the angle of those shots. Possibly the final buildings of Suter Brook? 'The Grande' is composed of two 26 story concrete buildings, and a six story rental building. https://bridgewellgroup.ca/the-grande-port-moody/

SpongeG · #**5049** Posted **Nov 17, 2020, 5:46 PM**

yeah that's it, just haven't been in the area for a while so surprised to see it is up now. I saw the digging excavation work going on a while back so was surprised to see its rising.

There are some other wood structure projects going up pretty fast now too in west port moody along st johns/Barnet. Quiet changes happenning a lot down there.

red-paladin · #**5050** Posted **Nov 17, 2020, 6:30 PM**

Yup that's The Grande at Suter Brook, about a 5 min walk from my condo.

SpongeG · #**5051** Posted **Nov 18, 2020, 8:58 AM**

the Highpoint project on Clarke Road in Coquitlam has had some work going on the site the past few days, looks like they may get going soon.

Coquitlam green-lights plan to add 24,000 more residents to city core

With a city centre larger than downtown Vancouver, Coquitlam is moving forward with an ambitious plan to transform the city from a suburbia into the urban hub of Metro Vancouver’s northeast quadrant.

Janis Cleugh / Tri-City News
NOVEMBER 17, 2020

Coquitlam council and city staff burst into a round of applause Monday night after elected officials unanimously green-lighted the City Centre Area Plan (CCAP) update — a blueprint three years in the making that will see the area transform into an urban downtown.

The vision, aimed to accommodate 24,000 more residents over the next 25 years, will see three zones created around the Evergreen Line stations to allow residents to live, work and play in the area:

• Pinetree-Lougheed, where a business district – with a hotel and convention centre — are envisioned along with pedestrian/cycling links over the Barnet Highway (from Coquitlam Central station to the mall) and over the Lougheed Highway (to Christmas Way);

• Lincoln station, where the city sees the entertainment heart of the new downtown district brimming with restaurants, pubs, nightclubs, theatre and a new City Centre branch for Coquitlam Public Library;

• and Four Corners, the area around the Lafarge Lake-Douglas station that includes city hall, City Centre Aquatic Complex, Evergreen Cultural Centre and the temporary park-and-ride.

...

My guess is we will see Coquitlam Unlimited start to move forward given this news. Very exciting.

The Burquitlam Plaza Value Village is permanently closed all of a sudden- wonder what's up with that?

Maybe the redevelopment of the Burquitlam Plaza itself is proceeding:

'six residential towers and commercial podiums' sounds pretty underwhelming considering the site.

New Maple Ridge, BC condo will include Lumon Canada balcony glazing system with every unit

Lumon, a global leader in balcony glazing systems, is bringing its innovative products to ATARA, a two-tower condominium development coming soon to Maple Ridge, British Columbia.

...

Envisioned by Vansoho Development Corp., each of ATARA’s 510 units will incorporate frameless retractable balcony glass, creating outdoor living spaces for residents to enjoy year-round.

ATARA will be among the first high-rise communities in North America to feature Lumon’s state-of-the-art balcony glazing system throughout.
The partnership between Lumon and Vansoho came as a result of recent changes to the city’s zoning bylaws.
The Maple Ridge council voted in favour of omitting the enclosures from floor space ratio (FSR) calculations, which dictate buildable square footage in relation to lot size.

SOCO in Coquitlam has been having quite a bit of work going on lately. Seems its getting ready to finally get going.

Maple Ridge will seem strange with such tall towers.

invisibleairwaves · #**5060** Posted **Dec 5, 2020, 2:03 AM**

Townline's Meridian project in Burquitlam (corner of Cottonwood and Clarke) is back before council for fourth reading on Monday- as a 100% rental (!) 37-storey tower.

Thought this rendering was kinda funny- this is not a small tower but Highpoint next door is massive.
