It will create local jobs, boost our economy and help build a strong future for our city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prologis, whose customers include Lululemon, Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot and Coca-Cola, is considering the development of approximately 721,000 square feet of industrial space that could support logistics, warehousing, distribution, office and parking uses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSurrey is an important market with strong infrastructure, access to transportation and a growing business community,\u201d said Matt Brock, vice-president and investment officer for Prologis, in the release. \u201cWe look forward to working with the city as this project moves forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The proposed agreement is projected to generate more than $1 billion in combined lease and property tax revenue over its 62-year term, the release continued. The city would also retain ownership of the land throughout the lease and beyond, preserving a strategic public asset for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell Heights is one of Metro Vancouver\u2019s leading industrial and business parks and one of the region\u2019s remaining opportunities for industrial growth. Investments by companies such as Beedie and Toyota reflect its growing importance as a major employment centre in Surrey, the release concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"City of Surrey, Prologis advance proposed lease for South Surrey Published 9:20 am Tuesday, July 28, 2026 By&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":845433,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-845432","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\/845432","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=845432"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/845432\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/845433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=845432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=845432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=845432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
