Langley Lodge

The tallest building in Langley, the six story Langley Lodge Seniors Care Centre, will complete its three-year expansion program which saw the construction of a new six storey West Tower and the complete renovation of the 1974 East Tower in April. The project cost a total of $28 million.

What is interesting about project is that there is no basement or underground parking which I'm sure helped in keep the costs down. As the population ages and the cost of transportation increases, I have to wondering if this will become the new normal for construction. I know that in the City of Vancouver and Surrey, they are experimenting with unbundling parking from apartment purchases.

Anyway, the Langley Lodge has a February 2011 and October 2010 Construction Bulletin which has more information on the project.
