New Costco Location Proposed for South Surrey, City Review in Progress

A potential new Costco store is in the works for South Surrey, marking a significant expansion for the popular retailer within the city. The City of Surrey has confirmed that a development application is currently under review for the establishment of a new Costco location at 1891 and 1947 164 St. in the bustling Grandview area of South Surrey, as reported by Peace Arch News.

The proposal, although still in the early stages, is generating excitement among residents and businesses alike. If approved, this new Costco store would join the existing one in the Newton neighborhood of Surrey. The application, now under preliminary scrutiny, is subject to further review and potential revisions before being presented to the city council for final decisions in the upcoming fall or winter.

Local social media posts have been abuzz with discussions surrounding the potential new Costco store, with reports indicating that residents have been notified by the city to provide their input on the proposal. The development comes as part of the broader changes outlined in the Highway 99 Corridor Local Area Plan, which would involve converting a portion of the site from business and industrial designations to commercial status.

According to details shared by the planning and development department of the City of Surrey, the proposed Costco store would feature an adjacent gas station, ample parking with 989 spots, and a building height of 10 meters. The potential for a new shopping destination in South Surrey has sparked conversations about the economic and community impact such a development could bring to the area.

When reached for comment, Costco refrained from providing specific details on the South Surrey project, noting that the company typically announces new store locations closer to their opening dates, which are typically two to three months in advance. As the review process continues and public feedback is considered, the fate of the proposed Costco location in South Surrey will soon be decided by the City of Surrey.
