The crane has now been installed at the Prime on the Plaza project on University Drive and 103 Avenue. Prime is a 37-storey mixed-use retail and condominium development across from Surrey City Centre Library and Civic Plaza that is expected to be completed in 2018. The project will add nearly 400 tower residential units as well as street-fronting retail and townhomes.
Quick look at the upcoming HQ Condominiums project on 140 St at 106 Ave in Surrey City Centre. HQ by Porte Homes comprises three 6-storey buildings, and is scheduled for completion in late 2018. The development will help to define Surrey City Centre’s eastern edge along 140 St on land that is currently occupied by large, mostly vacant suburban lots. The buildings will create more of an urban streetscape along 140 St and are consistent with the height and density envisioned for this area in the City Centre Plan.
Concord Pacific’s Park Avenue is beginning to transform the look and feel of 100 Avenue. The East tower is now topped out with the West tower catching up. A row of townhomes that line 100 Ave between the 2 towers are beginning to form a nice streetscape with the mature tree canopy already in place. A new parking meter has also recently been installed indicating that there will be on-street parking which should help to buffer traffic from the sidewalk to create a better pedestrian environment.
Park Avenue is expected to be completed later this year / early 2017. The development features numerous amenities including rooftop lounges, tennis courts, a pool, spa, fitness centre, and golf.

The long awaited expansion of Surrey’s SFU campus is set to be underway soon. A development application was recently submitted to the City of Surrey to permit the construction of a new 5 storey Sustainable Energy & Environmental Engineering Building on land currently occupied by 2 parking lots at the northwest corner of 102 Ave and University Dr.
The final design of the building has not yet been released, but will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the streetscape and neighbourhood when complete, adding to other development in the area such as the currently under construction 37-storey Prime condominium tower to the adjacent north.
As part of the project, 102A Avenue will be re-aligned to create a new intersection where the Surrey Central Skytrain Station bus loop currently exists, setting the stage for the coming removal of the bus loop itself. The current lane / pathway will also close as part of the project, and be reconstructed as a new north-south urban green lane along the west edge of the site, linking to Prime.
Excavation could be underway as soon as later this year, with completion expected in 2019. More details to come.
