A six-tower project with 2,730 homes, rentals, and childcare space heads to Surrey council’s Sept. 15 public hearing.
Surrey’s Skyline Could Change Again
Downtown Surrey may soon welcome a massive transformation. A new proposal with six high-rise towers, three mixed-use buildings, and thousands of homes is moving to the next stage.
City council will host a public hearing on September 15 at 7 p.m., inside Surrey City Hall, located at 13450-104 Avenue.
Inside the Proposal
The ambitious plan outlines 2,730 homes, including 378 rental units. Alongside housing, it features 1,807 square metres of commercial space and a childcare centre.
The development would take shape in downtown Whalley, covering addresses along both 104 Avenue and 105 Avenue. The mix of high-rise and low-rise structures aims to blend modern city living with community-friendly spaces. Green areas and pedestrian-friendly pathways are also planned to create a more welcoming neighborhood.
Updated From an Earlier Version
This isn’t the first time the project has been on council’s desk. In October, a five-tower version received third-reading approval. That design called for 2,686 homes, including 491 rentals.
The revised proposal expands to six towers, with adjustments to unit numbers and layout. A July 28 planning report explains the shift was significant enough to file it as a new 2025 application.
What About Current Tenants?
Previously, the site was home to three-storey rental apartments. According to city staff, there are no tenants left, which means a Tenant Relocation Plan is no longer required. This clears the way for faster construction and minimal disruption to surrounding streets.
What It Means for Surrey
With Surrey’s rapid growth, this development could reshape the city’s downtown core. More rentals, added community space, and new amenities highlight the plan’s potential. In addition, the project could create construction jobs, attract new businesses, and bring families closer to schools and transit hubs. Residents will have the chance to share their opinions and ask questions at the public hearing, making it a crucial moment for shaping Surrey’s urban future.
