I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that they're building two towers at once, as well as the connecting podium.

I dunno, Hub had no issues building 4 towers at the same time (2 residential, 1 rental, 1 office) at a much faster pace.

From the webcam today.
That opening in the podium roof must be for the B-shapd swimming pool.
You can also see the Veteran's Village in the background.

Was just thinking the same the other day too. Not the most delayed construction start in Downtown Surrey though since the Holland Parkside site originally had a plan way back in 2008.

How about the fact that that parcel was originally supposed to be part of the D'Corize development?! I'm just happy that it's being done, and seemingly done well. It's a massive building and will do wonders for walkability of the area.

it just makes me wonder about all the other approved proposals, are we going to have to wait 10 years to see something start? I'm getting old I might be dead before I get to see anything.

That's always a concern of mine. How much will actually get developed and how much is just so much vapourware? Think about how long the Infinity development was on hold due to the Recession!

Now I don't get my hopes up until the holes are dug and then filled in with buildings.

Pic taken today with Veteran's Village coming along nicely in the background as well. Luffer crane at University District taken down a week ago on Jan 25th.

Picture I took from the skytrain, please excuse the glare. Looks like it's reached 20+ floors now:

Just look at this and compare the skyline to what it was like 10 years ago and you'll get the picture, pun intended.

I've been meaning to post a pic of this development for a while. Angle is a little hard to get from my place, but here you go! Taken February 19.

Thanks!
So the taller of the 2 is about the same height as the University District tower on the left of the pic?
