At 157.3 metres (516 ft) tall, it is the tallest building in Surrey and overtook the previous record-holder, the Central City complex, which was the tallest building in Surrey from 2003 to 2018. It consists of luxury residences, a hotel (Autograph Collection),[6] offices, retail and Kwantlen Polytechnic University's fifth campus (KPU Civic Plaza) occupying the first five floors above the open lobby/atrium.[7]
History edit
The neighbourhood of Whalley / City Centre is home to many of Surrey's skyscrapers, including the redevelopment of Flamingo block.[8] Simon Fraser University is based next to the Central City complex, which was the tallest building in Surrey from 2003 to 2018. More recent projects have overtaken the icon.[9] The hotel opened in the first week of April 2018.
