Civic Surrey has come across exclusive renderings of an un-named Casino Resort Complex by Chris Diakeakos Architects.
The rendering above is unmistakably the Cloverdale Fairgrounds. You may also recognize a piece of architecture – a building entrance that looks strikingly like that on the new Cloverdale Rec Centre, currently under construction.
The renderings also fit with the City’s long term plans for the Fairgrounds, which envisioned a casino/hotel/conference complex, among other things.
There’s a few pieces that don’t quite fit though. For example, this rendering includes the Rec Centre at 60 Ave and 176 St – a building now going up at 62 Ave instead.
Also, there’s no indications of how this fits with the recently upgraded Fraser Downs casino. Would the new entrance be reclad again in wood, as this rendering shows?
So the question is, when was the rendering completed, for whom, and is it a serious proposal?
If we receive any information, it will be posted.
