Centre Block

Planning underway

This project, led by Surrey City Development Corporation (SCDC), is a two phased project. The first phase is planned to be a 12-storey mixed-use office/institutional development with ground-level retail units, and a vibrant public plaza adjacent to one of the region’s most intensively used transit hubs. 

  • Design of Phase 1 is expected to commence in summer/fall 2025, with construction commencing in 2026 and completion in 2030.
  • Phase 2 is planned to be a significant mixed-use office development.
  • Timeline for the design and construction of Phase 2 has yet to be established.

Phase 1 and Phase 2 will effectively double the total office and institutional space in the City Centre and will provide the critical mass necessary to establish Surrey City Centre as the region’s next business core.
