Rising in what is now known as downtown Surrey, 3 Civic Plaza was first announced in 2014. Recent photos capture the tower as it approaches its 52-storey topping off point. Designed by ZGF Cotter Architects for Century Group, 3 Civic Plaza will be comprised of a mixed-use 144-room hotel attached directly to a 349-unit residential tower, all of which will be set above a multi-level retail podium that also serves as the main entrance and lobby for the hotel and residences.

On target to become the tallest tower in Surrey, 3 Civic Place will soon become a focal point within the Vancouver suburb's newly redeveloped city centre. The project will be served almost directly by the adjacent SkyTrain, which can be clearly seen at the base of the tower in the images above and below.

Occupying a parcel of land directly behind the recently completed Surrey Library, and abutting the elevated SkyTrain tracks just steps from Surrey Central Station, 3 Civic Plaza will be ideally located in the heart of the action, with easy access to Metro Vancouver and YVR.

Slated for completion later this year, 3 Civic Plaza will be a welcome addition to the city centre. The recent completion of the adjacent Surrey SFU campus, in addition to several other recent developments in the vicinity, ensure that downtown Surrey will enjoy a bright future.
