3 Civic Plaza, also known as 3 Civic Tower, is a large building in Surrey, Canada. It is located in the Whalley / City Centre area, very close to Surrey City Hall. This building was finished in late 2018.
Standing at 157.3 metres (516 ft) tall, it is the tallest building in Surrey! Before 3 Civic Plaza, the Central City complex held the record from 2003 to 2018. 3 Civic Plaza is a "mixed-use" building. This means it has many different things inside. You can find luxury homes, a hotel (Autograph Collection), offices, shops, and even a part of Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU Civic Plaza). KPU uses the first five floors above the main lobby.
