Central City Shopping Centre (formerly known as Surrey Place Mall) is a shopping mall and office tower complex in Whalley, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, which is owned by Blackwood Partners Management Corporation. It is near Surrey Central Station of the SkyTrain system in the Whalley neighbourhood. It was designed by Bing Thom Architects.
It is the second largest mall in Surrey, smaller than Guildford Town Centre. The mall was constructed in the 1960s.
The construction of the Port Mann Bridge and Guildford Town Centre began to challenge the mall's position as a dominant shopping centre. By the 1990s the downfall became great and the mall had lost a lot of its foot traffic and stores became unrented. In recent months, the mall has been affected by the closings of Target and Future Shop.
Central City and Hollywood
The Central City Tower has appeared in several films and television shows. It has appeared in the beginning of the movie Fantastic Four and also stood in for the LuthorCorp headquarters in season three of Smallville. It was shown in the movies Firewall, Alone in the Dark, I, Robot, Catwoman, and television shows, including Painkiller Jane.
