Nice clean spacious mall in the heart of Surrey. Parking is available in the nice large lot in front, as well as the multi-storey parkade in the back. The place is still a bit on the empty side. Even though all the stores are there, there really aren’t that many people. I’m guessing that most people are really here to work in the office tower attached to the mall, and those who want to shop are probably going to Guildford Town Centre nearby. If compared to Burnaby malls, Central City would be Brentwood, while Guildford would be Metropolis. Special mention goes to the main atrium. Nice and spacious, with a skylight running down the length. I’ve seen photos of it before but it obviously looks much nicer in person. the other special mention is the food court. While the selection is decent but nothing crazy special, it had the nice busy feel that the rest of the mall should have. The tables and chairs are also some of the nicer ones I’ve experienced in a mall.

If you happen to attend this SFU campus, then the mall is a VERY convenient way to kill some time between classes. Although it has big anchor stores like Future Shop, T&T, and Target, it’s just an okay mall and nothing in particular really draws me here. Despite the«interesting» characters that pass through from time to time, they’re relatively harmless and don’t really detract from the shopping experience.

Not sure why you would go to this mall since guildford is so close by and much better! An entire Hallway of this place had to be closed off because they couldn’t rent out the space. Not really any good stores other than target, but who goes to the mall for target?! You get a lot of the unsavoury characters from the bus loop across the street that wander in. Don’t waste your time on this place, go to Guildford down the road.

one of the cooler, nicer and safer places to shop in Surrey, despite being close to Whalley station. Got some solid anchors in T&T supermarket, Best Buy, Winners, Target, Brick, and its own mini-mall, with the food court. Really is a nice interior and ceiling, feels very open compared to a Metrotown.

It’s not the biggest mall but for what it is close to a skytrain station in the area it’s a good way to kill time. Would I go out of my way to come here… probably not but there are some stores in here worth checking out. The stores here are stores that you can go to at other malls that may be closer to you. I will admit that since their new facelift it has been more inviting when in the area. I spent a good 90 minutes here on a rainy day.

Good diversity of stores ranging from T&T Supermarket, Future Shop, Zellers, and Winners/Home Sense. The area of the mall has finally took a turn for the good as in the past people would stray away from Central City due to the sketchy people(drug addicts, prostitutes, etc) but now it’s super nice. Free parking which is a bonus but stay away from the covered parking where T&T is as there are scary drivers there. Food court has a good selection too and there is also a Starbucks

This is the mall in mah hood. It used to be dead, dead, and deader. What a change it has experienced in recent years! I just went there today and wow, lots of great department type stores, nice variety at the food court, and exciting openings on the way. There were actually swarms of people walking around! I think it is still lacking in the clothing stores, but I’m definitely here for the groceries(T&T), cosmetics(Shoppers), home stuff(Bed Bath & Beyond), and random doo-hickies(Winners). Not bad for a suburban neighbourhood mall.

I used to do some work in this mall before the SFU campus ever moved here, so being back here brings some bitter-sweet memories, but to my amazement this place has received a beautiful facelift. This place used to be small, filled with many ‘outlet’ style shops, what I mean by that is that most of the chain stores would be carrying last seasons styles, and be discounted for a quick sale. There was barely anyone walking this place, and it was utterly depressing. Fast forward to now, where the place has been rebuilt in some ways, floors have been added, an office tower has been added, Futureshop, Bestbuy, and even a T&T are here? Opportunity knocks, especially since there is a Skytrain station right outside the door! When you look up, on the ceiling, there is some beautiful architecture here, with the wooden panel roof, the glass allowing naturual light in, and also knowing that there is a campus on the mall grounds is kinda interesting. Still was not that busy on the Saturday that I was here, but a more comfortable experience besides the other mall here in Surrey!
