Reinforcing Steel S E P T E M B E R 2 0 2 3 | 55 LMS is also busy with Concord Metrotown, located at the future of Downtown Burnaby, the next master-planned community by Concord Pacific consisting of three towers ranging from 33 to 65 storeys, a 66,000-square-foot 'Sky Park', and shops and services. LMS's other two projects are well known to Lower Mainland residents. Site preparation work on the redevelopment of Oakridge Centre began before the pandemic, but then a decision was made to close the entire mall and expedite the timeline for completing most of the brand new indoor shopping mall and a majority of the nine-acre rooftop public park by 2024. The 28.5-acre mall site also includes three mixed-use towers; other residential buildings and indoor mall areas to the south are also taking shape, and the floor area of the new mall will span 1.2-million square feet, (twice the size of the original mall). McNeil reports that, "We're still busy on the Pattullo Bridge replacement, with work expected to wrap next year." As of March, construction had pro- gressed to the in-river towers' crossbeam to support the bridge deck – 13 of the 33 segments of the main 548-foot towers have been completed, and work is also well underway on the bridge structures on land. As for how the rebar market will evolve in the near future, McNeil admits that "I've given up trying to figure out where the market is headed. Labour is always top of mind along with safety, and we continue to try and support the industry in that regard." Specifically, the LMS Academy in-house school supports team members as they pursue continued education, and McNeil's company provides meaningful opportunities to build long-term careers with upward potential.
