Towering plan set for Surrey

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2005 / October 27

Preliminary plans are underway to construct Canada's tallest highrise in Surrey -- a massive 81-storey building with residential, commercial and hotel space, Mayor Doug McCallum says. "This will be the tallest building in Canada," McCallum told The Vancouver Sun in an exclusive interview Wednesday. "It's 81 floors. That's four times the height of Central City, which is the tallest building [in Surrey] now." If built, the project would be much taller than Vancouver's current tallest building, the 48-storey Wall Centre, and the skyscraper that's going to take over that title, the 60-storey Shangri-La, once it's completed in about 2008.
