A laundromat at 1590 Cedar Hill X Road in Shelbourne Village Square has been torn down to make way for Tri-Eagle Development Corporation’s latest office project in Saanich.
Receiving unanimous approval from Saanich council on October 4th, construction of the three storey, 15,000 square foot building is expected to start soon with occupancy anticipated by the end of 2012.
Travis Lee of Tri-Eagle confirms that the anchor tenant will be VanCity Credit Union and the remainder of the space is eyed for medical offices.

Tri-Eagle’s Saanich development activities have intensified in recent years with the completion of the award winning Raven Building at Tri-Eagle Plaza along West Saanich Road, a seniors residence also in the same neighbourhood, and making its way through the municipal process is Thunderbird Building, a 5-storey, 50,000 square foot LEED Gold office project that will mark the last phase of Tri-Eagle Plaza.
The company is also banking on Uptown’s future as a major transit hub with the recent purchase of property bordered by the Pat Bay Highway, Rowland Avenue and Huxley Street just a stones throw to the north from the Saanich mega-project. Tri-Eagle is partnering with Michael and David Jawl to build either condos or townhomes.
“BC Transit has invested heavily in property around Uptown for use as a major transit hub and the site on Rowland is perfect for a residential development with easy access to transit and alternative transportation options,” Lee said. VV

Yes, they are definitely one level/story below ground.

They were pumping the groundwater into large tanks in the parking lot for about a month. That phase is finished.
