Surrey City Council has approved three high-rise projects, marking a significant step in the city's efforts to increase housing density. The approvals, granted on April 27, 2026, include towers ranging from 30 to 40 stories in the City Centre area.
The projects are part of Surrey's broader plan to accommodate population growth and address housing affordability. According to city documents, the developments will add over 1,200 residential units, with a mix of market-rate and affordable housing components.
Council members debated the projects, with some expressing concerns about infrastructure capacity and community impact. However, the majority voted in favor, citing the need for more housing options. Construction is expected to begin in late 2026, pending final permits.
