Marko, I've noticed three houses on Shelbourne between Bay and Haultain recently sold with your name on the signs. One house in particular is a crumbling wreck, despite the owner's lame attempts to renovate it (seen in the StreetView capture). It looks like a package deal. Can we look forward to a multi-unit development here?
Still not sold. First offer collapsed and we are now working on new offers. There is development potential for about 8 townhomes (rezoning required); however, most developers would probably prefer a bit more density.

I know parking is a bit of an issue on that street.

For instance, should we allow townhouse development to creep the length of Shelbourne or should we allow high density clusters separated by SFD stretches? This question will inform whether this site will get the rezoning it needs although there are only a handful of houses left on the block.

I know Saanich is doing a Shelbourne study for future development but I don't know if Victoria has done one for its portion...
One more reason why we need amalgamation.

You are right, it certainly makes little sense to build any south of McKenzie at this point in time.IMO there really should be no SFD's on Shellbourne till you get close to Mt. Doug.

The reality is no one is going to buy a SFH home on Shelbourne to replace it with a nice new SFH home and developers aren't going to develop unless they can make a bit of money which requires favorable density.

I will also say that the four lanes between McKenzie and Hillside will be reduced to two lanes and bike lanes will be put in. Shelbourne is so dangerous for cyclists.

This development site has been sold to a reputable developer. I look forward to this project.
Did anything ever happen to this MarkoJ?

Any idea what kind of density they are looking for?

I think 8 townhomes was going to be a fairly safe bet, but more than 8 a bit of a stretch, but I am unsure of exactly home many they are proposing with the application.

Thanks for the update on this development Marko! I'm a current renter in the area -like seeing what is coming up.
Hoping they make them similar to Lansdowne Walk (& not the over-done Greystoke Seven)

This site has more frontage than Greystoke Seven a quite a bit more than Lansdowne Walk; therefore, my guess is it will look closer to Greystoke Seven with town homes across the front of the property. In terms of finishing really difficult to say, Abstract is known for high-end developments but they did a more budget conscious town home development recently near Uptown.
