Surrey’s New Arena Breaks Ground | Vancouver News

Demolition has begun on Surrey’s new $360 million, 10,000-seat arena—officially kicked off by Mayor Brenda Locke at the former Safeway site—with plans to anchor it with the Vancouver Giants and deliver over $2 billion in economic impact and 2,700 jobs by 2030. The project also includes a luxury hotel, conference center, and housing, funded through Surrey’s budget and land swaps. Even Michael Bublé joined the celebration, hailing the arena as a catalyst for unforgettable moments across Canada. But not everyone’s cheering—Imagine Surrey calls it a “deal done in the dark,” accusing the city of overpaying and lacking transparency. Still, the City Development Corporation remains bullish, seeing this as a transformative investment for Surrey’s future, with construction set to finish just in time for the Giants’ move from Langley.
