A recent budget plan has revealed that Surrey plans to budget over $200 million from 2026-2030 for the arena.<\/p>\n<p>City Centre Arena<\/p>\n<p>The City Centre Arena\u2019s completed timeline sections are currently quite short, having only begun its feasibility study back in 2024. During this time, it was reviewed if the project was a possibility and worth the cost.<\/p>\n<p>By the time 2025 rolled around, the \u201cCity retained a development advisor to assist in the procurement of a development partner(s) and an operating partner.\u201d That brings us to 2026 where the City of Surrey has officially issued a Request for Expressions of Interest and Statements of Qualification. This is to (according to the City):<\/p>\n<p>invite submissions from interested parties indicating their interest in and qualifications for the development and\/or operation and\/or tenanting of the City Centre Arena and Entertainment District; and<br \/>\nidentify and select a shortlist of respondents to be available to participate in a subsequent procurement phase for the Project.<\/p>\n<p>2026 is also expected to have the preliminary design completed, with 2027 to have construction begin.<\/p>\n<p>Renderings<\/p>\n<p>Among other features, the City Centre Arena is slated to have a fixed seating capacity of around 10,000. The arena will host sports, concerts, and community events.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, it will have a 175-room hotel and conference facilities, and 100,000-sq.ft. of commercial and office space.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-216941\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2-2.jpg\" alt=\"city centre arena\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"  \/>Photo: City of Surrey<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-216942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"  \/>Photo: City of Surrey<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-216943\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4-4.jpg\" alt=\"city centre arena\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"  \/>Photo: City of Surrey<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the project, check out the City of Surrey\u2019s page on it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surrey.ca\/about-surrey\/capital-projects\/city-centre-arena\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"uppercase text-mainRed font-semibold mb-2.5 text-center xl:text-left also-like-title\">You Might Also Like <\/p>\n<p>                        <a href=\"https:\/\/604now.com\/new-laws-measures-canada-march-2026\/\" class=\"h-full w-full\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/canada-flag-new-laws-300x200.jpg\" class=\"h-full w-full object-fill wp-post-image\" alt=\"new laws canada november march \/ happiest city canada \/ citizenship act\"  \/>                        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                        <a href=\"https:\/\/604now.com\/love-on-the-spectrum-casting-call-canada\/\" class=\"h-full w-full\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Love-on-the-Spectrum-300x200.jpg\" class=\"h-full w-full object-fill wp-post-image\" alt=\"Love on the Spectrum\"  \/>                        <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-sm uppercase font-semibold text-textGrey w-full mb-4\">Log in or create an account to save content<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a type=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/604now.com\/my-604now\" class=\"relative text-white group inline-flex items-center text-l font-bold leading-5 bg-mainRed border-2 border-mainRed hover:text-white hover:bg-buttonRedHover hover:border-buttonRedHover focus:outline-none focus:ring-0 py-4 px-9 transition ease duration-150 cursor-pointer\" aria-expanded=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t My 604<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tBecome a local insider<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the City Centre Arena begins its early development, the City of Surrey is looking to invest some&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499653,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-499652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499652"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499652\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
