Surrey’s transformation into one of Metro Vancouver’s most dynamic urban centres has been years in the making—but few projects capture that evolution as clearly as PCI Developments’ King George Hub. Located at 13740 Fraser Highway, directly beside the King George SkyTrain Station, this master-planned community represents the culmination of a long-term, transit-oriented vision that is reshaping how people live, work, and move within Surrey City Centre.
With the final phase now underway, King George Hub is entering its most important chapter yet—one that reinforces Surrey’s emergence as a true metropolitan core rather than a commuter suburb.
A Four-Phase Foundation That Redefined Transit-Oriented Living
From the outset, King George Hub was designed to be more than a single tower or residential development. PCI approached the site as a complete urban ecosystem—one anchored by rapid transit, employment, housing, and everyday amenities.
Over the past several years, PCI has successfully delivered:
- Phase One: A modern Coast Capital Savings office building, bringing employment directly to the SkyTrain corridor.
- Phase Two: Two condominium towers and a second office building, introducing density while maintaining a strong employment base.
- Phase Three: The Line, a purpose-built rental tower responding to Surrey’s growing rental demand.
- Phase Four: Two additional condo towers, further cementing the site as one of Surrey’s most prominent residential clusters.
Each phase reinforced the same principle: build density where transit already exists, reduce car dependency, and support a walkable, mixed-use urban environment.
All four phases are now complete—setting the stage for the final and most anticipated addition.
Tether: The Final Piece of the King George Hub Vision
The last phase of King George Hub is Tether, a 40-storey purpose-built rental tower that will deliver 406 new rental homes, with completion targeted for Fall 2026.
In a region facing persistent housing shortages—particularly in the rental market—Tether is significant for several reasons:
- Rental supply at scale: Purpose-built rental towers like Tether provide long-term housing stability, unlike investor-owned condos that frequently cycle in and out of the rental pool.
- Transit-first living: Residents will live steps from SkyTrain, allowing daily life without reliance on a vehicle.
- Urban affordability spectrum: While not “affordable housing” in the subsidized sense, professionally managed rentals help moderate rental pressure by increasing supply in high-demand areas.
For Surrey City Centre, Tether represents a shift toward a more balanced housing mix—one that supports students, young professionals, families, and downsizers alike.
Street-Level Energy: New Retail Arriving at King George Hub
Urban density only works when paired with vibrant street-level activation. In 2026, King George Hub will see a major retail expansion that further solidifies it as a daily destination—not just a place to sleep.
PCI has confirmed several high-profile tenants opening at the site, including:
- Breka Bakery & Café – a beloved Metro Vancouver café brand known for late hours and community appeal
- Big Way Hot Pot – tapping into Surrey’s diverse and food-forward population
- Anytime Fitness – supporting health-oriented, car-free lifestyles
- Sandbox Virtual Reality – bringing experiential entertainment into City Centre
- Body Energy Club – a staple for fitness-focused urban residents
Together, these tenants elevate King George Hub beyond a residential complex into a true mixed-use neighbourhood node.
A Milestone Project for a Growing City
As PCI Developments prepares to complete Tether and close the final chapter of King George Hub, the significance of the project is clear. It demonstrates what intentional, phased, transit-oriented development can achieve when executed over time with a cohesive vision.
For Surrey, King George Hub is more than a collection of towers—it’s a signal of where the city is headed next.
