Surrey is the second most populous city in Greater Vancouver and in the Canadian province of British Columbia.[1] Similarly to the Greater Vancouver municipalities of Burnaby and Coquitlam, Surrey has seen an influx in residential high-rises since the 2000s. Surrey is home to 23 buildings taller than 100 m (328 ft) as of 2026, the third-most of any city in Greater Vancouver, after Vancouver and Burnaby. The tallest building in Surrey is the 157.3 m (516 ft), 52-storey 3 Civic Plaza.[2] Completed in 2018, it is the city's only skyscraper taller than 150 m (492 ft).

Most of Surrey's tallest buildings are located in Surrey City Centre, in the neighbourhood of Whalley. The district contains the highest concentration of high-rise condominiums in Greater Vancouver south of the Fraser River. In 1976, Whalley was identified as one of four regional town centres in Surrey,[3] leading to the development of Surrey City Centre, now the city's central business district. The city adopted the "Whalley–Guildford Plan" in 1985, proposing high-density commercial development along 104 Avenue between the Whalley and Guildford areas.[4] Since the 2000s, Surrey City Centre has become home to numerous high-rise buildings. The mixed-use Central City development, completed in 2003, included Surrey's first building exceeding 100 m (328 ft) in height, as well as a shopping mall.

Much of Surrey's high-rise development has been transit-oriented. Surrey City Centre is served by the Gateway, Surrey Central, and King George stations on the Expo Line of Greater Vancouver's SkyTrain system. It is the only town centre in Surrey served by the SkyTrain. All three stations are surrounded by a substantial number of tall buildings. The rate of high-rise construction has increased since the 2010s. By 2025, multiple buildings have overtaken Central City in height. One major project is King George Hub, a mixed-use development adjacent to King George station that has been underway since 2012. King George Hub is expected to be completed by 2026.[5][6] While Whalley is the only town centre in Surrey with a substantial number of tall buildings, high-rises have also been proposed in Guildford since the 2020s.[7][8][9][10]
