Well Surrey Central is being built up to be a second downtown, and *the* downtown for SoF. With no viewcones (that we know of) and room to grow, it may end up overtaking downtown Van in importance. I'm just waiting on more office and other business space to be announced - right now it's mostly residential.

I'm sure they did, but that was in 1890 when New West looked like
this. Low population + relatively few jobs or amenities + no university + no blue water port = easy to move a downtown core.
Right now, Metrotown's a mall that happens to have a town centre, so I don't rate its growth potential any higher than theirs.
Yeah, Surrey having several unis and a future HSR terminal doesn't hurt either. I'd expect a dipolar Metro Van no later than 2050.
