There aren’t many places where a new condo comes with access to two private swimming pools, an outdoor hot tub theatre, tennis court, work lounge, sports social lounge, virtual spin studio and video conferencing room. Park George, the latest offering from Concord Pacific in Surrey, is one such place.
Part of the reason for the range of amenities on offer is because residents will be able to make use of the facilities that are already in place at Park Avenue, two of Concord Pacific’s previous residential towers nearby.
“We call our developments master-planned communities because we try to share the amenities across a number of towers – in this case four – so that it keeps people’s strata fees down,” explained Grant Murray, senior vice-president of sales at Concord Pacific. “In total, there will be about 110,000 square feet of amenity space, 30,000 square feet of it indoors.”
“You simply won’t find the same range of amenities in a single residential tower, or even two towers,” Murray added. “And you certainly won’t find them in a location that is so well connected in terms of transit.”
Park George’s two towers of 36 and 39 storeys will include 339 homes in the first tower and 337 in the second. The neighbourhood around the development has been a decade in the making, when the City of Surrey came up with a long-term plan to transform the city centre into a new urban core. This involved adding multiple highrise buildings, retail offerings and amenities, a new location for Surrey City Hall, the expansion of Surrey Memorial Hospital and a new RCMP headquarters.
“Then you’ve also got the extra rapid transit that will be coming to Surrey in the near future, extending the transit options south down to Newton,” Murray said.
Murray explained that the City of Surrey is aiming to transform, not just its residential environment, but its economic one as well.
“Everything’s been gearing up to make this a new urban area and they’re hoping to attract high-tech companies to the city in particular,” he said.
Concord Pacific and Park George, in particular, are well set up to contribute to this vision, according to Murray.
“These are the first towers in Surrey that will have 100-per-cent electric vehicle parking,” he said. “They also have a keyless entry and the WiFi connection will be fantastic so you’ll be able to walk around anywhere in the building and be connected, including in the elevators. We’re really big on technology and that’s why we’re installing smart thermostats in every suite so you’ll be able to set the temperature in your home while you’re away.”
Kitchens include Panasonic microwaves and Bosch appliance packages with wall ovens, four-burner gas cooktops, stainless steel hood fans and built-in fridge-freezers. Bathrooms have Grohe fixtures, Kohler sinks and built-in shower niches.
