OpenRoad Auto Announces Surrey Auto Loop, A New 16-Acre Automall Coming to Newton
Surrey, B.C., August 28, 2026 – OpenRoad Auto (OpenRoad), one of Canada’s largest automotive dealership groups, is excited to announce Surrey Auto Loop, a new automall development coming to 13340 76 Avenue in Surrey’s Newton neighbourhood. Developed in partnership with Conwest Developments (Conwest), the 16-acre site will be home to multiple dealerships, with Surrey Honda and Mercedes-Benz Surrey among the first confirmed brands.
Surrey Auto Loop will feature seven lots and approximately 166,000 square feet of commercial space across multiple dealership buildings, including showrooms, offices, and service facilities, along with more than 1,000 vehicle parking stalls.
“We thank the City of Surrey and our partners at Conwest Developments for making Surrey Auto Loop possible,” says Christian Chia, CEO of OpenRoad Auto. “There is no doubt Surrey is B.C.’s fastest-growing city. The Surrey Auto Loop will allow us to serve the Surrey community with even more options, more brands, and more of the people-first service that OpenRoad is known for, all in one convenient destination.”
The project marks the completion of a rezoning process led by Conwest, transforming an underutilized 16-acre industrial site into a development that responds directly to the needs of the City of Surrey. A City of Surrey planning report endorsing the project noted the automall reflects sound planning principles and supports the employment and economic growth objectives of the city’s Official Community Plan.
“The Surrey Auto Loop is a major investment in Newton and another sign of the growth and opportunity we’re seeing across our city,” Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke says. “It will create local jobs and bring new economic activity to the area. I want to thank OpenRoad Auto and Conwest Developments for their partnership and confidence, and for choosing Surrey for this project.”
“When OpenRoad approached us with their vision for Surrey Auto Loop, we immediately recognized the site’s potential and the opportunity to create something that would have a meaningful, long-term impact on the City of Surrey,” says Ben Taddei, Chief Operating Officer and Partner, Conwest Developments. “Our involvement extended well beyond the sale of the land. We worked closely with OpenRoad and the City of Surrey throughout the rezoning and approvals process to help create a development-ready site that will bring significant private investment, adding hundreds of jobs and another important step in Surrey’s continued evolution as a major employment and economic centre.”
Construction is expected to begin in early 2027. Additional dealership brands and more information will be announced soon.
