White is nice.

I guess for Saanich this is quite progressive. Not unlike projects built in other cities 50 years ago.

What's the tallest building in Saanich currently?  Maybe 5 storeys?

This will be the tallest building in Saanich.

There is the Campus of Care just up the road off Carey that has an eight-storey building. At least I think it's eight?

7 or 8.  7 if I had to bet.

any other photos or site plans?

Those Buildings on Carey are the tallest in Saanich.

At first I thought Jubilee Hospital was the highest in Saanich but its in Victoria. The parkade across the driveway is in Saanich

There are residential/institutional buildings in Saanich that are 6 or 7 stories. VGH, Sayward Hill, that new place on Carey Road where the school used to be, that old apartment block near Quadra/McKenzie. There's also the old Wang office building on Carey Road. No idea what the tallest building would be in terms of sheer height. That's what we pay Mike K. to figure out.

VGH is view royal no?

Oh, sorry. Is it? View Royal is a bit of an enigma for me.

ECS building at UVic could be a candidate too? 6 storeys, but I think those are big storeys.

No offense to View Royalans. Royalians.

Forgot about UVic.

Every time you get on the roof of a place you should lower a line down and get a measurement.

For sheer height the Young Building at Camosun must be one of the taller ones.

That may be the Oak Bay side of UVic. 

Great location, great fit, add seven floors and get on with it ...

Yep, there is no reason for this location not to have he tallest building in Vic. Are they afraid the units won't sell? Is Saanich against such height? 

I think this project needs its own "Phase 4" thread.

We will find out, won't we?  I polled my family and everyone thought 9 was too tall.  They all live in Saanich.  I'm neutral on this for now.  I want more information, so I'll wait for the plans.
