Surrey, British Columbia
Surrey publishes an open file with the assessed land and improvement value of all 182,118 of its parcels and a column that classes who owns each one — Private, City Land, Provincial, Federal, BC Hydro, CN Rail — and 97.9% of the rows say only "Private", which is exactly as far as the public record goes in British Columbia without paying $11.06 a title.

Can you find out who owns it?
Land titles in British Columbia belong to a public register run by the Land Title and Survey Authority, and anybody may search it — but a search is a priced transaction at $11.06 on the LTSA Customer Fee Listing as at April 1, 2026, there is no bulk owner product at any price, and the province publishes no price-paid file. Since 30 November 2020 corporations, trusts and partnerships that own BC land have had to file transparency reports with the Land Owner Transparency Registry, whose public search has been live since 30 April 2021 and is priced at NIL on the same LTSA schedule — it exists specifically to name the people behind the companies. Surrey itself goes further than most BC municipalities in what it publishes: its open Property Detail List carries folio, PID, legal description, zoning, lot size and the gross land and improvement values for every parcel, plus an OWNER_TYPE column that classifies ownership into twenty categories. What it never carries is a name, and the City's own open-data licence page is a JavaScript shell that could not be read, so this record treats Surrey's roll as citable but not redistributable.
Is ownership public?Public, but one paid search at a time
Cost of one title search$11.06 per title search (LTSA Customer Fee Listing, fees as at April 1, 2026). A search of publicly accessible information under section 35 of the Land Owner Transparency Act is priced NIL on the same schedule.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.
| Building | Use | Owner | Owner type | Last price paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surrey Memorial Hospital 13750 96 Avenue — PID 007-207-972, folio 6333-00005-X, 923,277 sq ft site |
Institutional | Fraser Health Authority The most valuable parcel in Surrey by a factor of two: $492,957,000 of land plus $595,604,000 of improvements, $1,088,561,000 in all, on a 923,277 sq ft CD-zoned site. Surrey's own open Property Detail List classes its OWNER_TYPE as "Provincial"; Fraser Health's own location page gives 13750 96th Avenue as the address of Surrey Memorial Hospital. Tier B because the roll gives a class and the health authority gives an address, and neither document names the registered owner. |
Government | —B |
| Guildford Town Centre 10355 152 Street — PID 009-068-872, folio 1290-00025-6 |
Retail | La Caisse (Ivanhoé Cambridge) and LaSalle Canada Property Fund 50% / 50% Surrey's most valuable privately held parcel: $363,811,000 land plus $178,245,000 improvements, $542,056,000 in all. RENX, 7 September 2021: "The LaSalle Canada Property Fund has acquired 50 per cent interests in three major properties from Ivanhoe Cambridge — Maison Manuvie office tower in Montreal, Guildford Town Centre shopping mall... and the adjacent 18-acre Guildford Town Centre development. Financial details... were not immediately disclosed." No price is recorded. Ivanhoe Cambridge, holding the other half, is the real estate arm of the Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, branded La Caisse since June 2025. |

| RCMP 'E' Division Headquarters (Green Timbers) 14200 Green Timbers Way — PID 026-438-283, folio 2360-97104-9, 1,434,929 sq ft site |
Institutional | Government of Canada Surrey's open roll classes this parcel's OWNER_TYPE as "Federal" and assesses it at $19,230,000 of land under $322,200,000 of improvements — the most improvement value on any single parcel in Surrey other than the hospital. The City's open business-licence file shows the tenancy a federal campus generates rather than an owner: Equans electrical and janitorial, Aramark catering, Tim Hortons, Precise ParkLink. The building's identity is not stated by either dataset, so this record names the owner class the City publishes and nothing more. |

| Central City (shopping centre, SFU Surrey and the Central City office tower) 10153 King George Boulevard — PID 008-541-159, folio 2270-77904-6, 589,733 sq ft site |
Mixed use | Blackwood Partners Management Corporation (Nicola Wealth) Daily Hive, September 2019: "Blackwood Partners has submitted its rezoning and development application for its long-awaited Central City II office tower at 10045 King George Boulevard" — 25 storeys, 382 ft, 567,114 sq ft of office and 16,168 sq ft of retail on a 2.5-acre corner of the Central City property. Nicola Wealth announced on 16 November 2020 that it was acquiring Blackwood Partners, terms undisclosed, and blackwoodpartners.com now redirects to nicolawealth.com/real-estate. This parcel carries $211,000,000 of land against $3,000,000 of improvements: the mall and tower sit on separate folios. Tier B. |

Civic | City of Surrey OWNER_TYPE "City Land" in the City's own open roll, $46,278,000 of land plus $172,762,000 of improvements on a 197,523 sq ft CD-zoned site in City Centre. Surrey's 624 "City Land" parcels carry $3.74 billion of gross assessment between them. |

| Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre 9750 140 Street — PID 027-600-246, folio 2360-95504-4 |
Institutional | Fraser Health Authority $19,707,000 of land plus $171,382,000 of improvements, $191,089,000 in all, OWNER_TYPE "Provincial" in Surrey's open roll. Fraser Health's own location page gives 9750 140th Street as the address of the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre, and the City's business-licence file shows Bouygues Energies and Services Canada holding the janitorial licence at the address — the facilities-management signature of a public-private partnership. Tier B for the same reason as the hospital: class plus address, no named registered owner. |
Government | —B |
| 19125 28 Avenue (Campbell Heights) 19125 28 Avenue — PID 032-139-055, folio 7219-00015-7, 1,124,607 sq ft site |
Industrial | Not established a paid title search would answer it The largest privately held industrial parcel on Surrey's roll outside the retail centres: $91,478,000 of land plus $144,778,000 of improvements, $236,256,000 in all, on a 1.1-million-sq-ft CD-zoned site in the Campbell Heights business park. OWNER_TYPE "Private" is the whole of what the public record says. The City's business-licence file returns nothing at the address, so not even a tenant could be read. |

| 13568 105 Avenue 13568 105 Avenue — PID 031-463-444, folio 2220-02014-9, 42,444 sq ft site |
Residential | Not established a paid title search would answer it The densest value on Surrey's roll: $152,070,000 of improvements on a 42,444 sq ft lot in City Centre — a tower, on a new PID, worth $3,585 of improvement value per square foot of land. OWNER_TYPE "Private", no name, no business licence at the address. A $11.06 title search would answer it and a free LOTR search would then name the people behind whatever company holds it. |

Industrial | BC Hydro and Power Authority The largest single landholding by area among Surrey's most valuable parcels — 48 acres zoned IL — and the only one of them whose owner the City's open file names as an institution rather than a class: OWNER_TYPE "BC Hydro". $109,719,600 of land plus $73,895,000 of improvements. Surrey's 85 BC Hydro parcels carry $1.01 billion of assessment. |

Retail | Not established a paid title search would answer it $67.7 million of land under $126.6 million of improvements, $194.3 million in all, in the Grandview town centre. The City's open business-licence file shows what it is — Winners #320, Miniso, Olsen Europe, an RBC administration office — but OWNER_TYPE says only "Private", and no filing or newsroom opened here names the holder. |

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
Surrey's Property Detail List is the most informative municipal property file of the five British Columbia cities in this batch: gross land value, gross improvement value, lot size, legal description, zoning and an OWNER_TYPE classification on every parcel. The file carries 190,646 rows for 182,118 distinct folios and 180,210 distinct PIDs, because some parcels appear once per constituent lot; the city-wide totals below take one row per folio, with duplicate rows' values deducted using a server-side grouped query. Values are gross, not net of exemptions.
City-wide assessed value$261.76B
182,118 distinct folios: $206,653,416,351 of land plus $55,108,032,558 of improvements — land is 79% of the total. Deduped from the City of Surrey Property Detail List; the raw 190,646 rows sum to $287.13 billion.
Share of value in private hands92.3%
Of the file's 190,646 rows, 186,557 (97.9%) carry OWNER_TYPE "Private" and $265.06 billion of the $287.13 billion of gross assessment. The next largest classes are city-purchased parkland ($7.44B), schools ($4.56B), City Land ($3.74B), Provincial ($1.72B) and BC Hydro ($1.01B). Federal holdings are 16 rows and $0.52 billion.

Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
Surrey is the fastest-growing city in Metro Vancouver and its new homes come out of the same regional pool of private developers that builds Vancouver's: the Vancouver census metropolitan area started 27,185 homes in 2025 and 17,298 in the eight months to August 2026, against 61,331 units still under construction at August 2026. CMHC does not publish municipal splits in the series used here, and Canada publishes no builder league table at all, so no figure below is a Surrey-only count; each is what the named builder states about itself, and the note says what scope it covers.
| Name | Type | Homes, as the builder states them |
|---|---|---|
| Anthem Properties Anthem's own About Us page states it "has been creating Great Space since 1991" with "a team of 850+" people investing in, developing and managing real estate across North America, and lists British Columbia, Alberta, California and Ontario as its markets; its portfolio statistics are rendered client-side and produced no figures to a text fetch. The Station Square project site, which carries Anthem's logo and links to anthemproperties.com, states the completed project will hold "5 residential towers with 1,800 homes and over 450,000 sf of new retail and office space". |
Private company | 1,800 homes planned at Station Square, BurnabyB |
| Bosa Properties Named by urbanYVR on 1 March 2023 as the joint-venture partner Vanprop Investments brought in for the first phase of the Lansdowne Centre redevelopment in Richmond — a Metro Vancouver family firm that works across the south-of-Fraser market. No Surrey-specific unit count was found on an opened page. |
Family / private | joint-venture partner on Lansdowne District, RichmondA |
| Beedie Beedie's own site describes the company as a "Real Estate Developer | Industrial & Residential" with Industrial, Living and Capital divisions, and its /about/ page 404s while the home page renders no figures to a text fetch. Beedie matters to Surrey as an industrial developer rather than a housebuilder: on 10 September 2026 La Caisse announced a 50/50 joint venture with Beedie seeded with $1 billion of industrial assets in Metro Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto. |

| PCI Developments Included because PCI is one of the few Metro Vancouver developers whose model is to hold transit-oriented mixed-use sites rather than sell them, which is the ownership question this page is about. Its own site opened at 39 KB and publishes no unit or floor-area totals in server-rendered text. |

Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
Surrey's commercial ground divides four ways and only one of the four is a Surrey company: a Quebec pension arm and a global fund manager hold the biggest mall between them, a Toronto firm inside a Vancouver wealth manager holds the City Centre mall and office tower, the province holds the two hospitals, and the federal Crown holds the RCMP campus. Figures are each owner's own disclosure or the City's own open roll, as the note says.
| Name | Type | Surrey asset, or portfolio size as stated |
|---|---|---|
| La Caisse (Ivanhoé Cambridge) La Caisse's own real estate page states a real estate portfolio of "$42.9 B" of net assets as at 31 December 2025, "Gross assets valued at $74 B", 8% of its total portfolio and "70+ Global strategic partners". Ivanhoé Cambridge's own site now serves only a notice that since June 2025 its real estate portfolio "opère désormais dans l'ensemble des régions où il est présent en tant que La Caisse". |
Pension fund | 50% of Guildford Town Centre ($542.1M assessed) plus a 50% interest in the adjacent 18-acre development siteA |
| LaSalle Canada Property Fund Acquired from Ivanhoé Cambridge in a three-property deal announced 7 September 2021 that also took 50% of Maison Manuvie in Montreal; financial details were not disclosed. LaSalle's own property page for Guildford Town Centre returned 403 to both a scripted fetch and a rendering fetch, so the fund's own description of the asset could not be read. |

Surrey's 190 "Provincial" rows carry $1.72 billion in total, so these two parcels are three-quarters of the provincial holding in the city. |

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- The registered owner of every "Private" parcel in Surrey — 186,557 rows and $265.06 billion of assessed value. The City publishes the class and not the name; this is the normal state of the public record in British Columbia.
- The identity of the building at 14200 Green Timbers Way. The City's roll says "Federal" and the business-licence file shows catering, janitorial and parking licences; no page opened here names the occupant or the holding department.
- The owner of 19125 28 Avenue, 13568 105 Avenue and 15715 Croydon Drive — three of Surrey's ten most valuable parcels, together $603 million of assessed value.
- Whether Nicola Wealth's acquisition of Blackwood Partners in 2020 carried the Central City asset itself, or only the management company. The Daily Hive report naming Blackwood as owner is from 2019 and no later primary page states the current holder.
- LaSalle's own description of its Guildford Town Centre interest: lasalle.com returned 403 to both a scripted and a rendering fetch.
- The City of Surrey's open-data licence terms. The Hub licence page carries no server-rendered text and the page item's JSON held only site configuration, so the roll is cited here and not redistributed.
- Whether a LOTR transparency report has been filed against any Surrey parcel named here; the section 35 search is free but needs an LTSA account, which was not opened.
- BC publishes no price-paid dataset; Property Transfer Tax open data is counts and values by municipality.
- Local-government officials' real-property disclosures under BC's Financial Disclosure Act are not published: section 6(1) requires the disclosure clerk only to "produce for inspection, on request during normal business hours" the written disclosure filed by a nominee or municipal official. Surrey's civic section could not be filled from any online source.
