Co-working spaces a unique offering at Centra
NEW SURREY CENTRE HIGHRISE WILL BE SITUATED IN QUIET SUBURBAN NEIGHBOURHOOD NEAR CITY’S NEW BUSINESS HUB
With Surrey’s new gleaming city centre poised to become British Columbia’s next big business hub, the developers of Centra are helping those buyers who are also small business people grow along with that trend.
Centra is offering co-working spaces in the new residential highrise project to be constructed at 13868 101 Ave., Surrey.
“There are 40,000 jobs and more than $16 billion in development forecast for the next decade for Surrey Centre,” says Centra sales manager Cody Medjuck, making the development a perfect co-working site. Co-working spaces is a trend that originated in the
United States and is popping up in a few other locations in Metro Vancouver.
Medjuck says Centra’s space will feature four co-work pods, two meeting rooms, a co-working long table, a relaxed seating area and a coffee bar. Centra homeowners will be allowed to use the space to work on business projects, which beats using a Starbucks.
With Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus within walking distance, the co-work space is also expected to be a popular place to study for students living at Centra. It’s also available for entrepreneurs to socialize with other small business people or even for mothers and fathers to take a break from the kids to get some work done.
Centra, a project developed by Everest Group, is located within easy reach of Skytrain (a nine-minute walk), the new city hall and recreation centre, and shopping, Centra also benefits from being located in the peace and quiet of a low-rise suburban neighbourhood.
“That’s kind of a unique feature. You have the urban energy but still a suburban feel,” said Medjuck. “That really differentiates Centra from everything else (in the area).”
Another plus is that Centra is located in a low-rise zoned neighbourhood, providing exceptional views of Mount Baker to the south, the North Shore Mountains to the north and Golden Ears peaks to the east.
Centra offers a full range of home sizes. Studio suites are 436 square feet while one-bedroom homes range from 469 to 552 square feet; two bedrooms are from 600 to 935 square feet and three-bedroom homes range from 941 to 1,108 square feet. The townhomes range between 1,389 and 2,157 square feet while the highrise penthouses are between 1,316 to 1,339 square feet.
Centra’s homes themselves all have high (eight-foot-eight-inch) ceilings, a choice of light and dark colour schemes and climate control and come with wide-plank laminate wood flooring. Expansive windows are covered with stylish roller shades for clean, modern lighting control.
The contemporary-styled kitchen comes with granite countertops, backsplash and waterfall edges. An under-mount stainless-steel sink is complemented by polished chrome Grohe fixtures and sleek cabinetry.
The 16,000-square-foot amenity facility has a fitness room, a yoga room, a dog washing station and a small do-it-yourself space for home improvement projects. A private theatre for movie nights, a party room with a fully equipped kitchen and a parcel delivery room are also included.
Prices start at $299,900. To learn more about prices and other project features, visit and register at centrasurrey.com or call 604.498.3887. The opening day and hours for Centra’s new presentation centre will be announced very soon.
