Two-bedroom basement suites going for $3,000 a month, a single bed in a room listed for $1,000 a month, and windowless closets renting for $800. 

Expensive rent in Metro Vancouver is nothing new, but renters searching for a home in the region say the listings they're coming across have reached a whole new level of absurdity. 

"It's out of control," said Laura Herbert, 48, who is trying to find an affordable home for her adult son, who has a brain injury and lives off $1,400 a month in disability payments.

It was one in a long line of moments where Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West seemed to indirectly poke a thumb in the eye of the City of Vancouver. “Our council knows how challenging it is for many people with rising costs — that’s why we went through our 2023 budget line by line. I’m proud to share that the result is one of the lowest property tax rates in the region — 3.38 per cent,” he tweeted. It happened 30 minutes after Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim held a news conference to say his own city’s budget would see a 10.7 per cent property tax increase, adding that he understood that such increases “suck” for many people.

By way of background, Brad West was “acclaimed” rather than voted into his current position as Port Coquitlam’s mayor.

Glacier Highway, BC (No. 7)

British Columbia (commonly abbreviated as BC) is the westernmost province of Canada. Situated between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains, the province has a diverse geography, with rugged landscapes that include rocky coastlines, sandy beaches, forests, lakes, mountains, inland deserts and grassy plains.[6] British Columbia borders the province of Alberta to the east; the territories of Yukon to the north; the Northwest Territories to the northeast; the US states of Washington, Idaho and Montana to the south; and Alaska to the northwest. With an estimated population of over 5.5 million as of 2023, it is Canada's third-most populous province. The capital of British Columbia is Victoria, while the province's largest city is Vancouver. Vancouver and its suburbs together make up the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada; with the 2021 census recording 2.6 million people in Metro Vancouver.

A BBC reality TV show aired last month that showcased the beauty of British Columbia while also constantly pointing out how frustrating the province's transportation system can be.

Race Across the World began its third season in British Columbia, with five teams competing in an Amazing Race-style journey to get to St. John's, Newfoundland.

The first episode saw people dropped in Vancouver's Stanley Park and told to head to the Haida Gwaii community of Tlell without any access to phones, airplanes, or car rentals.

One team is told to head to Whistler, only to find out there is no public transportation that heads north. Other heads to Vancouver Island and finds out it would cost $500 to travel from Campbell River to Port Hardy.

"With public transport so limited, Canadians have learned to embrace car sharing," gravely intones the narrator at one point, showing one of the four teams that resorted to hitchhiking or ride-hailing websites to make their way across the province, including from Prince George to Prince Rupert and Victoria to Port Hardy.

The lack of connecting buses from town to town clearly exasperated many of the teams, used to a much more robust system of buses and trains across Europe—albeit in countries that are usually much smaller and more densely populated than British Columbia.

"I was under the impression we would be able to switch to another bus, and it'd be easy, so I'm a bit frustrated at the moment," said one contestant as he waited for a bus in Nanaimo.

Clips of the episode went viral in British Columbia over the last week, catching the eye of many politicians who have advocated for better regional transit service.

"We've actually gone backward over the decades," said Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau, who lives in the Cowichan Valley and has advocated for better transit service linking communities on the island.

"There used to be significantly more access to public transit than there is now in smaller communities about declining regional transit service in B.C.—in large part sparked by the departure of Greyhound from across the province five years ago—David Eby argued it wasn't the case.

But Furstenau believes there are opportunities for more investment, starting with the mindset that part of government infrastructure is public transit—and not just public transit inside Metro Vancouver and Victoria; that's public transit across the province.

If there's any consolation for wounded pride, the next episode of the season had contestants go from Haida Gwaii to Dawson City, Yukon—making the difficulties of southern B.C. look tame by comparison.

How to Invest in Surrey Commercial Property Investment

Surrey, British Columbia, has rapidly emerged as a premier destination for commercial real estate investment. With a dynamic market, strategic location within Metro Vancouver, and a wealth of development projects underway, Surrey offers unique opportunities for investors looking to capitalize on a thriving real estate landscape. Here, we offer an in-depth look at why and how to invest in Surrey’s commercial property investment in 2024, with insights drawn from real-world experience.

Why Invest in Surrey’s Commercial Real Estate Market?

As British Columbia’s fastest-growing city, Surrey is undergoing a significant transformation from a suburban community to a bustling metropolitan hub. The city’s growth, fueled by major infrastructure projects like the expansion of the SkyTrain network and new hospital developments, is creating a strong foundation for commercial real estate investment. This growth trend has made Surrey one of BC’s most promising markets for both seasoned and first-time investors.

Key Investment Hotspots in Surrey

Through extensive experience in the Surrey commercial real estate market, several prime locations consistently offer strong returns on investment:

Surrey City Centre – The Crown Jewel Surrey City Centre is rapidly evolving into BC’s next major metropolitan core, showing an impressive appreciation rate of 12-15% annually over the past five years. The new hospital project in this area has already driven nearby property values up by 20%, making it a sought-after location for commercial investment.

Newton Business District – The Hidden Gem Newton’s unique industrial-retail mix often goes unnoticed, but it presents valuable opportunities. With properties averaging $425 per square foot and generating cap rates of around 8%, this area continues to attract investors looking for diversified investments.

Campbell Heights – The Rising Star This industrial hub boasts a low vacancy rate of just 1.2% and an impressive 15% increase in lease rates over the last year. Investors seeking industrial properties have found Campbell Heights to be a lucrative location for securing high returns.

Surrey Commercial Property Investment Options

The commercial real estate market in Surrey offers diverse investment options to cater to various investment strategies and goals. Here are some key property types in Surrey:

Office Spaces

Class A office buildings in Surrey City Centre

Medical office spaces near healthcare facilities

Professional service buildings in prominent business districts

Retail Properties

Shopping centers in growth-oriented neighborhoods

Street-front retail in areas with high foot traffic

Mixed-use developments combining retail and residential spaces

Industrial Properties

Warehouses in Port Kells

Light industrial spaces in Campbell Heights

Distribution centers near major highways

Proven Investment Strategies in Surrey

To maximize ROI in Surrey’s commercial property market, experienced investors employ several key strategies:

The Value-Add Play By purchasing older properties and modernizing them, investors can significantly boost net operating income (NOI). For example, one investor acquired an office building near King George Boulevard and, after a $1.5 million renovation, increased its NOI by 40%.

The Long-Term Hold Strategy Properties near transit hubs, such as those close to the SkyTrain stations, have shown remarkable appreciation over time. For instance, a property near Surrey Central Station has appreciated by 45% since 2019. With upcoming transit expansions, similar opportunities are emerging.

Current Market Trends for Surrey Commercial Property in 2024

The Surrey commercial property market is poised for growth in several key areas:

Demand for mixed-use developments combining commercial and residential spaces

Increasing interest in sustainable building practices

Rising investment in technology and innovation hubs

High demand for medical and professional offices, especially near healthcare facilities

Continued interest in Surrey’s business districts, particularly those near transit hubs

Risk Management and Common Pitfalls

Investors should consider the following risks when investing in Surrey’s commercial real estate:

Overlooking Infrastructure Developments Properties located near new transit hubs or infrastructure projects often see a sharp increase in value. For example, a property near a proposed transit hub on 160th Street recently experienced a 30% increase in value due to infrastructure plans.

Ignoring Tenant Mix Properties with a diverse mix of tenants tend to have lower vacancy rates. Successful investors focus on maintaining a balanced tenant portfolio, including medical, professional, and retail tenants, which helps stabilize occupancy and rental income.

Insider Insights and Market Projections

Based on recent deals and ongoing market analysis, here are some projected trends for Surrey’s commercial real estate market in 2024:

Medical office spaces near the new hospital site are expected to maintain high demand.

Industrial land values, especially in Campbell Heights, could see a 10-15% increase over the next 18 months.

Mixed-use developments in City Centre are likely to experience cap rate compression as demand continues to rise.

Professional Tips for Surrey Commercial Property Investment

Build Relationships with City Planners Being informed about zoning changes and upcoming projects before they’re public knowledge can provide an edge. Regular visits to city hall and involvement in planning discussions can reveal investment opportunities ahead of the competition.

Focus on Transit-Oriented Properties Properties located near SkyTrain stations have consistently outperformed market averages by at least 25%, making them prime investments.

Monitor Development Permits Tracking new development permit applications often serves as an early indicator of where growth is heading, allowing investors to position themselves strategically.

Conclusion: Investing in Surrey’s Commercial Real Estate Market

Surrey’s commercial real estate market is thriving and offers ample opportunities for investors with a clear strategy and an understanding of local dynamics. From City Centre to Campbell Heights, the market’s potential for growth is substantial. However, success in this market demands diligent research, market knowledge, and timely decision-making.

Surrey’s diverse investment landscape can suit a variety of investment styles, whether you’re looking for high-traffic retail spaces, modern office environments, or rapidly growing industrial areas. By partnering with experienced professionals and staying attuned to market trends, investors can make the most of this dynamic real estate market.
