Demolition begins for Surrey’s planned 10,000-seat City Centre Arena
Demolition has begun at 10355 King George Blvd., where the City of Surrey plans a 10,000-seat City Centre Arena. The City says crews are dismantling the former Safeway building and that demolition and site-preparation work are underway as the first construction phase begins. The planned arena is to become the future home of the Vancouver Giants and is part of the City Centre Arena and Entertainment District, which the City says will also include hotel, conference and residential components.

Sources and coverage
Includes available municipal and project history, the latest 50 published Urbyn stories, and reviewed inventory comparisons. Associations require a linked local project or an explicit neighbourhood label. City-wide stories stay in the city feed. A record check, first inventory observation or planned completion date does not create a new milestone.

Community and services
The City identifies City Hall, Civic Plaza, City Centre Library, SFU Surrey and KPU Civic Plaza as local anchors. These are useful places to explore the area beyond housing. Their presence does not establish school catchment eligibility, enrolment availability or service access for a particular address.
Transit and getting around
Surrey Central and King George stations are on the Expo Line. Use TransLink’s schedules and station maps for your journey and access needs. Future transit proposals and existing service should be evaluated separately; no forecast journey times are presented here.
Parks and recreation
Holland Park is a City Centre park identified by the City of Surrey. Use the official park page to plan a visit and check facilities. Outdoor access varies across this broad urban area, so compare the route from the home rather than treating a city-wide amenity as next door.
Planning direction
The City Centre Plan’s vision supports a downtown connected by rapid transit, walking and cycling, with housing, employment, cultural uses and public space. This is a planning direction. Individual applications can remain under review, carry conditions or change as they proceed.
Before choosing a home here
- Check school catchment and enrolment directly with the school district for your address.
- Read the source date and decision attached to a development rather than relying on the area-wide vision.
- Visit the route between the home, transit, parks and daily services at the times you would use it.
Check school catchment, accessibility and service eligibility for the actual address with the responsible provider.
