Rize Properties says its latest project, Comma King George, will offer priority access to on-site daycare and $1,000 in childcare support for families who lease at the building. Healthcare workers and people already living or working in Surrey are also eligible for a $1,000 rent credit. “Healthy communities need families, healthcare professionals, and a thriving workforce,” says Benn Duffell, Executive Vice President, Projects, at Rize Properties. “At Rize, through our Comma division, we’re focused on building better rental homes for people living, working, and raising families in our neighbourhoods. We know that people are juggling a lot. With an on-site daycare and easy access to transit and local employers we’re hoping to make our tenants’ lives a little easier.” The 392-unit project is located in Surrey’s emerging Health and Tech District, between Surrey Memorial Hospital and King George station. Homes range from studios to townhomes, with below-market units starting at $1,710 per month. The building was made possible in part through a $146.5-million low-interest loan from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s Rental Construction Financing Initiative, which supports purpose-built rental supply across the country. An on-site daycare, operated by Willowbrae Academy, is slated to open later this year in the project’s heritage component. Rize retained and revitalized the North Surrey Medical Building, a designated landmark designed by architect Peter Cole and known for its postwar New Formalist style. The restored building will also house retailers including Press’d Sandwich Shop, Trees Organic Café and Arcadia Wellness. Beyond its family-focused pitch, Comma King George leans heavily into lifestyle amenities: an extensive gym, rooftop lounge and patio, outdoor children’s play area, dog wash, theatre room, co-working space and even a karaoke room. The interiors feature modern kitchens, in-suite laundry and air conditioning, while a large indoor mural by B.C. artist Sandeep Johal adds a splash of colour in her signature Indo-folk style. With transit, green space such as Holland Park and Green Timbers Urban Forest, and major employers nearby, the developer is betting that financial incentives—paired with design-forward rental housing—can help anchor a stable, community-oriented tenant base in Surrey’s downtown core.
