The Need
- The City of Surrey is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Canada!
- Ever rising need for culturally appropriate long-term care facilities
- Seniors are on a long waitlist before being accepted into a care facility
- By 2039, the City of Surrey population is expected to grow by 46%, largely driven by 65+ population, which is expected to grow by 144%
- The demand for care facility beds is expected to triple in the next few years, which means Surrey will need 1,500 beds by 2039
The Solution

- 125 beds, 3-storey concrete building plus underground parking level
