Project Feature: Fleetwood Village 2

Group 161 is proud to have contributed to the design of Fleetwood Village 2, delivering 230 homes across two 6-storey buildings within Dawson Sawyer’s broader masterplan vision for Surrey’s growing Fleetwood neighbourhood.

The full development includes six buildings in total, with two already completed and occupied, three currently under construction, and one planned to start in the next phase. The central landscaping and site areas are also progressing, shaping the shared spaces that will anchor the community.

Anchored by a generous courtyard shielded from the street and a sun-filled rooftop garden, the design prioritizes livability, connection, and family-friendly community spaces.

This project was made possible through the expertise and collaboration of an exceptional team:

Developer: Dawson Sawyer
Structural: WSB
Civil: Aplin Martin
Mechanical: Williams Engineering
Electrical: Gager Electrical Consultants
Fire Suppression: Cardinal Engineering

Proud to bring thoughtful, human-centric design to one of Surrey’s most vibrant communities.

It's with great pride that we announce the completion of The Park Landmark, a collection of 39 new townhomes in Surrey.

This project was a unique opportunity to create a luxurious residential community that coexists beautifully with nature. Bordering a protected greenspace, The Park Landmark offers residents a peaceful escape while still providing direct access to the wider Fraser Valley and Vancouver.

We're incredibly proud of the work we've done in collaboration with Darshan Builders to bring this vision to life. From the rooftop patios with built-in BBQ kitchens to homes with main-floor patios opening onto expansive green spaces, every detail was considered to blend modern living with a grounded, natural environment.

We believe this project sets a new standard for thoughtful, nature-integrated design.

The countdown is on for Halvö, our 5-story, 52-unit project in idyllic South Surrey!

We're in the final stages of bringing this special blend of Scandinavian simplicity and West Coast contemporary design to life. Located just minutes from the vibrant waterfront, Semiahmoo Mall, and White Rock beach, Halvö is at the heart of one of Canada’s most desirable and fastest-growing communities.

It's been a privilege to work on a project that so beautifully merges convenience with thoughtful design. We can’t wait to share the completed project with you all very soon.

We’re proud to once again sponsor the Panthers U18 Second Division Women’s Field Hockey Team!

At Group 161, we believe in building more than architecture—we believe in building strong communities. That’s why we’re excited to continue our partnership with the Panthers Field Hockey Club, supporting young athletes as they develop their skills, teamwork, and confidence on and off the field.

The Panthers, founded in 1976, have long been a cornerstone of youth sport in Surrey, BC. We’re honored to stand behind the U18 Second Division Women’s team this season and cheer them on as they chase their goals.

Here’s to another year of growth, teamwork, and Panthers’ spirit! 🏑

Go Panthers!
