StreetSide Developments breaks ground on Qualico’s first-ever condo tower

Surrey, BC – StreetSide Developments BC recently held a groundbreaking event for Juno, Qualico’s first-ever high-rise condo tower.

Gary Mertens, Regional Vice-President, British Columbia, said the groundbreaking event marks a significant milestone not only for the project itself, but for StreetSide Developments BC as well.

“Juno is going to be an exciting place to live. It’s centrally located in Surrey’s newly established business district in the city centre, which is undergoing a transformation as one of the fastest growing communities in Canada,” said Gary. “This ground-breaking represents a major step forward.”

“The tower’s design and the incredible views it will offer will be very attractive for all kinds of new homeowners drawn to condo living in the heart of Surrey”.

Once completed, the 34-storey Juno tower will have 341 studio to three-bedroom lock‐off suites ranging from 374 to 1,294 sq. ft. The building will have a six-storey podium, offering panoramic rooftop views and the largest amenity space within a standalone community in Surrey, at more than 37,000 sq. ft.

Brenda Locke, Mayor of Surrey, said it was her pleasure to attend the Juno groundbreaking and noted its significance in the market.

“Congratulations to the Qualico and StreetSide Developments team,” she said. “This is the only project in Surrey to launch sales and break ground in the same year. Notably, it’s only the second high-rise in the entire region to break ground so far in 2024.”

The StreetSide Developments BC team is feeling a sense of pride about the timing of Juno’s groundbreaking, according to Jonathan Meads, Vice-President, StreetSide Developments BC.

“With the economy as challenging as it is, this is a significant milestone and we have beaten our competitors, some of whom have been in the high-rise market for a long time,” said Jonathan. “Recognition must go to the hard work of the StreetSide team in this incredible achievement and the support from Qualico corporately.”

The next step for Juno is excavation of the large six-storey parkade, and machines are now on site removing the old asphalt from the previous tenant. Each step in the process is exciting for the StreetSide Developments BC team, with Juno making history at Qualico and the team getting to see the much-anticipated project become a reality.
