Security Feature: Tour de Concord Grand Prix
On Sunday, August 22nd, IntercomLux Security had the pleasure of providing security services for Concord Pacific Developments at its inaugural Tour de Concord Grand Prix. It was a hugely successful event with exciting outdoor activities for kids, complimentary bike tuning, a complimentary BBQ and a beer garden, prizes and men’s and women’s pro cycling races around the site.
We are proud to provide security for Concord Pacific, a company that is truly innovating in B.C.’s real estate development space as well as infusing over $2 million dollars annually into the communities they develop in through family oriented events and charities.
Sunday’s race not only got its participants pedaling, it forecasted the master-planned community’s extensive bike facilities and its network of designated indoor and outdoor bike routes. Designed to connect to Burnaby’s network of cycling paths, you can experience 47,000 square feet of dedicated bike amenities to support everyone from daily commuters to weekend casual riders in the up-and-coming community
About Concord Metrotown
Concord Metrotown is Concord’s newest pursuit in Burnaby. The up-and-coming master-planned community will be comprised of eight towers, beginning with Phase One – Sky Park.
With a central location, commanding vistas from its higher elevation and superb connectivity via the Interurban Railway in the first half of the 20th Century and the Expo SkyTrain line since 1985, Metrotown has long been a natural and designated core of the Lower Mainland. From a post-war industrial hub to a vibrant and ethnically-diverse mixed-use community today, Metrotown’s evolution has been impressive. However, its future is even brighter as it takes centre stage in Burnaby’s master plan to turn it into a civic and regional centre that will rival Vancouver.
Concord Metrotown marks the beginning of the City of Burnaby’s master-planned redevelopment of Metrotown into a singular, Downtown Burnaby core, and precedes the highly anticipated redevelopment of Metropolis at Metrotown. The redevelopment of Metropolis will include 1.7 million sq. ft. of new spaces to support its status as an urban activity, commerce, civic, and educational epicentre. Two proposed acres of green spaces and three acres of plazas — including a large civic plaza adjacent to Metrotown Station – will foster community engagement, civic revival, and environmental compatibility.
