The City has received a total of 149 responses from Surrey residents regarding the proposal by Steelix Developments, 117 of which were in opposition.
The site was the subject of a previous development application for a six-storey residential building that has been discontinued. The more recent 22-storey proposal calls for a white-cladded tower housing 296 residential units, with commercial retail space on the ground floor.
Residents would enjoy a variety of amenities, both indoors and out, including shared kitchens and dining space, lounge areas, a games room, workspaces, a gym, an open lawn area, barbeques, and a kids play area. Underground would be a parkade, accessible from 153 Street, with 383 vehicle parking stalls and 361 bicycle parking stalls.
Staff also said that "the proposed building façade reflects a contemporary and dynamic built form with particular attention provided to tower and podium placement, building height, solar access, and street interface" and notes that a "generous" public plaza will be provided at the intersection of 102A Avenue and 153 Street.
