Luxury living in the sky is coming to Surrey City Centre. Described by its architect as “the final iconic piece to the City of Surrey’s new civic plaza,” 3 Civic Plaza is a 52-storey highrise taking shape alongside city hall and the Surrey City Public Library, forming the only residences ever available on the civic plaza.
Developed by veteran builder Century Group, which has specialized in creating sustainable, community oriented neighbourhood sin the region for more than 50 years, 3 Civic Plaza promises its residents a luxurious lifestyle that will be enhanced by the Civic Hotel, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, which has just seven such properties in North America. “Century Group is bringing a high-end hotel offering to the City of Surrey, the only type of this kind currently in the city ,” says Sandra Liang, sales manager for Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing. “The homes – atop this elegant boutique hotel — will start where other towers in the area typically end.”
From the 15th floor upward, the 349 homes in 3 Civic Plaza feature sweeping views of the city, mountains and beyond, and are more spacious than any other offerings currently on the market in the area. One-bedroom homes start at 563 square feet, while the two-bedrooms are in the 850- to 1,000-square-foot range.
Designed by renowned ZGF Cotter Architects and slated for completion in fall 2017, Surrey’s tallest tower — a stunning, slender structure whose unique elements include guitar-pick-shaped windows — will serve as a dramatic enhancement to the city skyline. Inside, the homes feature all the luxurious elements that one would expect: engineered hardwood flooring, quartz countertops, European stainless steel appliances and modern flush overlay cabinets in the kitchens and extensive millwork throughout. Both residents and hotel guests will enter through the tower’s grand lobby, where a Prado café/ bakery and high-end restaurant, yet to be named, will be located, as well as a 24-hour concierge service. The tower also features a roof top patio and bar, meeting rooms and event space in two ballrooms.
All residents have access to the hotel amenities, says Liang, which will be offered ‘a la carte’—a nice alternative to paying hefty strata fees. “We want to keep strata fees reasonable and we want to give people the choice to pay for only what they want to use,” she explains. “Residents wishing to order room service through the hotel, or use the fully equipped fitness facility, spa, pool or yoga studio, can do so through paying a membership fee.”
Further enhancing the livability and comfort of 3 Civic Plaza is easy access to SkyTrain. “You will literally be able to come down the elevator and step on to the Surrey Central SkyTrain station platform,” says Liang. Downtown Vancouver is a mere 30 minutes away via SkyTrain and residents will also be within walking distance to all that Surrey City Centre offers, including educational opportunities through Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus, the new KPU campus being developed at the base of the residential tower, and the Central City Shopping Centre, featuring Central City Brewing Pub and Restaurant.
A good selection of one-bedroom plans, and some two-bedroom plans, are still available in this outstanding community, but are selling quickly. To book your exclusive appointment v is it: www.3civicplaza.ca or call: 604-763-5156.
