Demolition Begins at Giants’ 2030 Home, City Centre Arena

Demolition has begun at the site of the planned 10,000-seat City Centre Arena, the future home of the Vancouver Giants. On Thursday morning, 

Vancouver Giants Majority Owner Ron Toigo and Co-Owner Michael Bublé, along with Giants players, 

Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke and members of Surrey City Council, were on hand to mark the milestone as demolition crews began dismantling the former Safeway building at 10355 King George Blvd. “We are thrilled to be part of the start of this amazing project: City Centre Arena and Entertainment District,” 

Giants Majority Owner Ron Togio said. “I want to congratulate Mayor Locke and the council for their leadership in bringing this forward. 

This is going to change the face of Surrey like you’ve never seen before.” Demolition and site preparation work are now underway as part of the City Centre Arena and Entertainment District’s first phase of construction. 

The project will also include a luxury hotel, conference space and residential development, creating a destination for residents, visitors and major events. 

“This is an exciting step forward for one of the most significant city-building projects in Surrey’s history,” 

Mayor Brenda Locke said. “It’s a powerful reminder that big things are happening in Surrey and that our vision for City Centre is taking shape.” 

The City Centre Arena and Entertainment District is anticipated to be completed in 2030. 

With a net estimated cost of $360 million, the project is expected to generate $2.4 billion in economic benefits over the next decade and more than 2,700 jobs across Surrey and British Columbia.
