3 Civic Plaza,[4] also referred to as 3 Civic Tower[5] is a mixed-use complex in the Whalley / City Centre neighbourhood of Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, near Surrey City Hall. The building was completed in late 2018.

At 157.3 metres (516 ft) tall, it is the tallest building in Surrey and overtook the previous record-holder, the Central City complex, which was the tallest building in Surrey from 2003 to 2018. It consists of luxury residences, a hotel (Autograph Collection),[6] offices, retail and Kwantlen Polytechnic University's fifth campus (KPU Civic Plaza) occupying the first five floors above the open lobby/atrium.[7]

History

The neighbourhood of Whalley / City Centre is home to many of Surrey's skyscrapers, including the redevelopment of Flamingo block.[8] Simon Fraser University is based next to the Central City complex, which was the tallest building in Surrey from 2003 to 2018. More recent projects have overtaken the icon.[9] The hotel opened in the first week of April 2018.
