The Sunshine Housing Co-operative at 10744 133 St in Surrey needed to be relocated due to land lease expiration. The Community Land Trust, a social purpose real estate developer that focuses on co-op housing, worked with the housing co-operative on its redevelopment, made possible through a partnership with the City of Surrey that provided a long-term lease on a nearby parcel of land. The location maintains the co-op’s central location close Simon Fraser University (Surrey Campus), schools, parks and a Skytrain station. The redevelopment increases the size of the co-op, enabling 30 additional members to join the co-op. Units were first offered to the existing residents of the Sunshine Housing Co-operative. Half of the units are directed to families.
