You're not off-topic, just in the wrong thread.

What are the underground spaces going to be used for?

[sdwright.vic]

They didn't say. They have redeveloped that entire office building and it's for lease so whoever leases it?

[Mike K.]

Gotcha. Thanks.

“We currently operate 130 suites and provide housing for 145 residents on our site of six acres,” said Hope.

She said board members operating Dawson Heights Housing commissioned the feasibility study in late 2016 because of growing concerns about the state of Saanich’s affordable housing supply.

“Long waiting lists for affordable housing have become a fact of life in Victoria,” she said. “Our own ever-lengthening waitlist for independent housing is a testament to this growing need.”

This one has been stalled for a while now. It was moving along nicely last summer, and then before Christmas I think it stalled out.

This Project is finally nearing completion and is listed at $2.4 mill for the whole building. Four townhouses and 1/2 commercial units. Here is the listing.

 

I think its only been about 9 or 10 years to get here.

It's being actively worked on right now?

[seymour201]

Not sure about right this minute, but for the several months there has been a crew of maybe 3 guys working away, finishing up the exterior, building a fence in the parking area, and the interior has been finished up from the looks of the listing images.

Don’t know if this has been posted already in another thread- - if so, I can’t spot it, and sorry if this is a repeat.

Backhoe rescuing backhoe. The first one went over the bank when his brakes failed so they chained him to the other backhoe and eased him down the hill and then built a little road so that he could climb back up.

Another project we are working on in Sidney, their first no parking building. It is a stacked townhouse design with ground floor live/work. The building is conceived as two interlocking forms that intersect and weave together, represented by the white and grey volumes. The material palette takes inspiration from the near-by beaches, with the aged silver wood- siding, reminiscent of driftwood; the glass balcony guards, white panels, exposed concrete planters and natural clear stained wood screens, reflect colours and textures commonly found at the beach. 

 

Application just went through APC with an visit to Council for final vote in September of this year.

 

Thoughts?

The incredibly run down V&J superlo foods on Esquimalt road which has been boarded up for a long time finally has a rezoning application sign up. I'd love to know what's planned for this site

Burning it to the ground would be a good start.

The sloped lot along Head street offers some potential for a decent sized development.

Better still if the crap shacks on two adjacent lots on Esquimalt were also part of a redevelopment.
