here are some updated pics of Holland Park, Its starting to really come together and is going to look great when its done!

Grand.

I like how the park appears to be surrounded by those large-appearing trees. What are they, 40 metres?

westcoast604 · #**105** Posted **Dec 7, 2007, 6:03 PM**

^Yeah I agree. Love the surrounding trees.

The art installment and plaza looks similar to that of George Waiborne Park.

Forgot to mention it yesterday, Tapestry in Surrey is currently on-hold, owner is deciding whether or not to proceed.

SFUVancouver · #**108** Posted **Dec 7, 2007, 11:17 PM**

Thanks for the close-up shots of the park.

It is looking nice but, my god, has it ever taken a long time to come this far. It was as if they decided to grow the landscape from seed and forgo concrete form work and instead rely on erosion and luck to shape things.

I do like the art. They have small built in LEDs that light up at night and look like fireflies amidst the metal work. I especially like how the sculptures are flowers and grains, referencing the natural and agricultural heritage of Surrey.

vanman · #**109** Posted **Dec 8, 2007, 12:26 AM**

The park looks impressive, I didn't even know about until now.

I happened to be in Coquitlam today and took a bunch of construction shots:

Obelisk is basically complete with minor finishing details left:

Encore has been completed as well:

Cora towers are close to being completed:

A close up:

Hope that helps.

Had Obelisk been given another 6-9 stories it would have been perfect IMO... seems a little short.

It's actually pretty tall it's over 30 stories.

SpongeG · #**115** Posted **Dec 9, 2007, 10:41 PM**

its 39 stories isn't it?

its the tallest in Coquitlam- but i think levo will be over 40 so it won't last too long as tallest

David · #**116** Posted **Dec 10, 2007, 12:35 AM**

Obelisk looks huge on the skyline too. It dwarfs everything else

jlousa · #**117** Posted **Dec 10, 2007, 9:53 PM**

This one popped up today, any additional news on it? First I've heard of it, I would imagine this would be next to the Green Timbers hospital also in the works? The size on this is huge.

^ This proposal has been floating around for years. I imagine this would vacate all the existing RCMP offices that are scattered about amongst 3 business park buildings in Newton.
