City of Surrey 2020-2024 Financial Plan

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

MAJOR INDUSTRIAL AREAS Surrey’s industrial areas offer a strategic location with access to Metro Vancouver, the United States, and Asia-Pacific markets. Six major highways, three railways, the Fraser Surrey Docks deep-water port, and SkyTrain rapid transit, provide efficient movement of goods and people. The $3.1 billion Federal, Provincial and Regional investment planned for the introduction of SkyTrain along Fraser Highway from the current King George SkyTrain Station to Langley will provide many new opportunities for redevelopment of existing properties to higher density mixed use sites. Port Kells

Port Kells is a well-established industrial area and home to just under 795 businesses. Highway 15 provides a direct connection to the US border and is adjacent to Highway 1, a major east/west trucking route. The South Fraser Perimeter Road also runs through this area improving access to the Fraser Surrey Docks, the DeltaPort, Highway 1, TransLink's Golden Ears Bridge and other major industrial parks in Metro Vancouver. Newton Industrial areas in Newton have excellent access to major transportation corridors: Scott Road, King George Boulevard, and Highway 10. The area is well served by the Southern Railway and the Fraser Surrey Docks, a deep-water port located within a 20 minute drive. Newton is home to over 6,100 businesses. Bridgeview/South Westminster

The Fraser Surrey Docks, part of Port Metro Vancouver, is located in South Westminster. The area is also served by rail and located on the SkyTrain rapid transit system at Scott Road Station. The area is undergoing significant change with the newly constructed North Surrey Sport & Ice Complex and accompanying developments around Scott Road Station. The Port of Vancouver is also expanding in the area and accounts for 5,600 jobs, $350 million in wages, and $1.31 billion in economic activity annually.
