Ever wonder what makes Surrey so attractive for both businesses and families? This week, Anita Huberman, President and CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade, joins Matt and Cory to discuss Canada’s next big major city and the driving forces behind it. If Surrey wasn’t on your list of places to invest in, it should be now after listening to this episode!

Anita breaks down all the economic drivers behind the massive growth of BC’s second largest city and what makes it attractive for so many developers. She also shares which areas of Surrey are next to boom that may not be at the forefront of the public eye just yet, which always makes for a great investment opportunity. Anita also shares some interesting stats when it comes to the age demographic of Surrey (hint: you haven’t yet missed the boat to invest in this booming city). Stats show that Surrey is on pace to become BC’s largest city or municipality by 2040. Whether you’re talking about industrial, office, retail or multifamily, Surrey is a place that should be high on everyone’s investment list!
