Semiahmoo Shopping Centre (/ˌsɛmiˈɑːmoʊ/ SEM-ee-AH-moh) is an indoor shopping mall on the Semiahmoo peninsula in Surrey, British Columbia. The shopping centre is named after the nearby Semiahmoo Bay and is anchored by Save-On-Foods.

In 2013, the mall featured one of only three remaining Zellers-branded department stores still operating in the country, with plans for the brand to continue as a crossover with Hudson's Bay.[2] In June 2014, First Capital announced that the Zellers store would close and be replaced by another, yet to be identified, retailer.[3]

Redevelopment

Bosa Properties purchased the mall in 2002 and had major plans to expand and redevelop the property.[4]

In March 2010, Semiahmoo Shopping Centre went through a much-needed upgrade to the interior of the mall. The exterior of the mall lost several tenants as the structures that housed their businesses were demolished to accommodate the exterior upgrade.

Plans for residential and commercial redevelopment were put on hold amid concerns that nearby developments in Grandview Heights and Morgan Crossing affected the commercial and residential viability of the town centre.[5] Bosa sold the mall in June 2010 to First Capital Realty, an investment company.[6]

Transportation

White Rock Centre is adjacent to the mall, with TransLink bus services to other parts of White Rock, Surrey, Langley, and Richmond[7]. Parking access is available from Martin Drive and 152nd Street.
