The Manhattan is an architectural marvel, where modern design meets organic materiality, shaped by the delicate interplay of light and shadow. Its striking exterior reflects the bustling energy of the streets below, while inside, tranquility flows seamlessly through every space. A harmonious blend of dark-grey metal panels, textured architectural concrete, wood-pattern aluminum, and reflective ceiling panels further enhances the visual appeal.
Situated in the heart of Surrey's revitalized downtown, The Manhattan is a beacon of urban sophistication. Its street presence radiates the glamour of a global city, with an entrance reminiscent of a boutique hotel, where warm wood panels and natural stone create an inviting threshold to a world of refined luxury.
Surrounded by top-tier educational institutions—Kwantlen Park Secondary, AHP Matthew Elementary, SFU, and future expansions of UBC and SFU—this location offers prime access to knowledge and opportunity. Nearby, a vibrant dining scene awaits with local gems like Prado Café, Dominion Bar + Kitchen, and Trees Organic Coffee, to name just a few. Convenience is never far away, with London Drugs, Central City Shopping Centre, and Surrey Memorial Hospital all within reach.
For those on the move, Gateway Station is a mere five-minute walk away, while a 30-minute drive takes you to the U.S. border, 45 minutes to YVR Airport, and 60 minutes to downtown Vancouver.
At the heart of Metro Vancouver, Centre Block will emerge as Surrey's economic and cultural nexus. Featuring two majestic towers atop a bustling podium filled with retail, restaurants, and public plazas, Centre Block will serve as a focal point for both employment and education growth. SFU’s future medical school and a revamped Surrey Central SkyTrain station will make this area a prime destination for the entire Lower Mainland.
Surrey’s cultural vibrancy is unmatched, where art, music, and dance pulse through the city's veins. The food scene is equally dynamic, with global flavors mingling with fresh, local ingredients—so much so that Food & Wine Magazine named Surrey one of the "next great food cities" of the world.
