I would love to see the Nissan dealership disapear favour of this project continuing but anyway most likely not going to happen with the planned redo of their shop.
Also I find it interesting that this project is a real foil to the fake urbanness of the planned Uptown Mall. However in some ways having projects like this near that mall may make it better.
So if anyone knows...
Perhaps I will take some photos of the project sometime soon.

The 6 storey sounds promising though the front seems to have massive setbacks. Still more housing in this area is exactly what Uptown needs.

I'd be happy enough if they'd just build a decent show building along the sidewalk.

No kidding. What, the houses weren't set back enough??

The area is also not a great walking area. Much better would have been to redeveloped around Rudd Park or along Harriet/Boleskine.
It concerns me that local governments are taxing industrial land out of existence. In a generation the city has grown by a third in total population, but it has lost much of the industrially zoned lands in the core.
Not everyone will work for government. Pushing all industrial and commercial businesses out to Central Saanich or out to Langford will cause there to be more commuters going out of the core and to the fringes for their work.

Though I do agree that industrial land should be kept. Car lots not so much.
