GECC, Pure Expect to Break Ground on Surrey Student Housing Project This Year
AI Article Summary

Global Education Communities Corporation (GECC) and the Pure Group plan to break ground by the end of 2025 on a $330-million student housing and mixed-use project in Surrey, B.C. The 49-storey Education Mega Centre will include rental housing primarily for students and multi-family tenants, along with commercial and office spaces. GECC will hold the majority ownership while Pure will maintain a minority share, with plans for additional institutional investors. The project aims to address the strong demand for student housing in the area, capitalizing on its proximity to educational institutions and a SkyTrain station.
