BLACKWOOD PARTNERS / CENTRAL CITY
A source for everything from shopping and education to eating and office space, Central City brings it home to Surrey.
In the thick of one of the fastest growing, thriving and walkable parts of Surrey, you’ ll find Central City. Long known for excellent, diverse retail shopping, Central City offers so much more to tenants, students, customers and visitors.
Central City is steps from SkyTrain and a bus exchange, plus it also offers abundant parking for those driving locally or from nearby cities on one of the many major through-ways running past the centre. With a number of new residential developments already occupied, nearing completion and under-development, pedestrian traffic in the area continues to increase whether for entertainment, shopping, dining or access to other facilities.
Central City, a world-class mixed-use development comprising of a 340,000 square foot Simon Fraser University Surrey campus, a 550,000 square foot class AAA office tower and a 640,000 square foot shopping centre.
Managed by Blackwood Partners, the shopping centre features some of Surrey’ s most popular stores such as Bed Bath & Beyond, Future Shop, T & T Supermarket, Winners, Shoppers Drug Mart, The Brick and Target. With over 140 retail stores, consumers can find what they need within the unique award-winning centre and its spacious design creates an easy and comfortable shopping experience
“ Blackwood Partners is proud to be the management firm of Central City,” noted Bill Rempel, Vice President and General Manager with Blackwood Partners.“ As one of the premier properties in the Lower Mainland, it’ s quite exciting to work with our tenants to create a community within the community.”
Additional feature services in Central City include a Canadian Passport Office, a Citizenship and Immigration Canada Office and Club 16 Trevor Linden Fitness / She’ s Fit!
As a focal region of Surrey, a new regional library has been added to the neighborhood with a brand new City Hall next door. Additional development include office space, expansion space for Simon Fraser University, a performing arts centre, residential towers and a 144 room hotel which will break ground this year.
“ Seeing the region take form is something we’ ve been looking forward to,” Bill said.“ The Boulevard will be redone and soon we’ re going to see more outdoor activities bringing people together. It’ s such a pleasure to watch a well-designed area take shape.”
Another aspect of Blackwood Partner’ s management of Central City is their involvement in the community. The organization believes in creating lasting relationships with sustainable non-profit groups within the region to invest in everyone’ s future.
Some of the organizations Blackwood contributes to include: the Surrey Food Bank, the Surrey Christmas Bureau, Surrey Public Library the North Surrey Lions, the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association and the Surrey Board of Trade. Additionally, Blackwood takes part in a number of annual events like the Surrey International Marathon, City of Surrey’ s Party for the Planet and Tree Lighting event, Chinese New Year Celebration, SFU’ s President’ s Gala, Week of Welcome and Open House, RED FM Diwali Festival and many others.
