Beedie has broken ground on a major industrial project that will span more than one million square feet, the South Campbell Heights Business Park in Surrey, B.C.

Located at 19084 20th Ave., the project will serve as the gateway to the South Campbell Heights industrial area and underscores Beedie’s long-term investment in Surrey, said the company. Beedie celebrated the launch in a groundbreaking ceremony that included Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke, members of Surrey council and city staff, Beedie’s development and construction teams, representatives from Cushman & Wakefield, and the project’s first tenant partner, which has been described in reports as a large automotive company.

“Surrey continues to attract the investment needed to support our growing economy, and last week’s groundbreaking is an exciting example of that momentum,” Locke said. “More than 20 years after Beedie’s first development in Surrey, South Campbell Heights Business Park represents a significant investment in employment, industrial growth, and economic opportunity.

“We look forward to seeing this project contribute to the continued success of our city and region.”

The South Campbell Heights Business Park land is adjacent to the company’s exising Campbell Heights Business Park in Surrey.

Beedie is a Burnaby, B.C.-based property, investor, developer and manager. The company ranks as Western Canada’s largest private industrial landowner, development and manager, and holds other diverse commercial real estate assets in the region.

The company is headed by Ryan Beedie, an award-winning commercial real estate investor, developer, manager and philanthropist.
