Cloverdale Gateway Project to Break Ground Within a Month

A prime piece of Cloverdale real estate that’s sat vacant nearly 15 years won’t be a patch of dirt much longer.

Construction on the Cloverdale Gateway project is expected to start by late February or early March, according to the building’s architect, after Surrey city council approved a final re-zoning application last month.

A two-storey office and retail building at the entrance of the historic downtown core would replace the empty lot that was once home to a gas station.

Burnaby’s PJ Lovick Architects firm spearheaded the design featuring brick columns, long wood beams and tall glass windows.
