Re-envisioned North Dairy Rd. proposal responds to Shelbourne Valley Action Plan, gets nod to go to public hearing

https://victoria.cit...public-hearing/

 

Victoria-based Abstract Developments has re-envisioned its initial proposal for a four-storey residential building along the Saanich-Victoria municipal border, Citified has learned.
 
Based on feedback gathered through multiple rounds of community engagement sessions and in response to Saanich’s Shelbourne Valley Action Plan (SVAP), the project is destined to become one of the first examples of the municipality’s newly-introduced development guidelines for the Shelbourne Street corridor.
 
Planned for 1588 North Dairy Road between Keats and Wordsworth streets, the 62-unit condominium will feature a mix of one and two-bedroom residences within short walking distance to the Hillside Shopping Centre commercial district and major bus routes.
 
Abstract submitted its development concept to Saanich in April of 2017 with a subsequent Committee of the Whole airing before council in December.
 
Subsequent community feedback encouraged the stepping-back of the fourth floor to the north, along with underground parking in lieu of above-grade stalls, both of which Abstract introduced as part of its latest design concept. 
 
Private outdoor gathering spaces plus changes to both the building’s landscaping and exterior façade were also outcomes of several months of community engagement and feedback from councillors.
 

On April 9th Saanich council unanimously approved sending the project to a public hearing slated for 7PM on Tuesday, April 24th at Saanich Municipal Hall’s Council Chambers. Members of the public will have the opportunity to address council regarding the project at the hearing. [Full article]

Wow! That is an amazing back to the future design! What the hell!? That looks like one of those four storey buildings along Cook Street! We must be able to do better than the 1960's...

"Surrounded by lush natural spaces"

 

Has the Sears building been overtaken by the rain forest already?

There are quite a few new trees in the mall's parking lot. If a bare parking lot = "open space" then I suppose a parking lot with trees could = "lush natural space."

Does this win the award for the least-creative building name out there? Might be a tie between this and Yates on Yates

This is certainly a close second.

Abstract is now reporting 65% sold. That must be a record in roughly 2-3 weeks.

Very impressive given the re-sale market slowing down.

Shelbourne-Valley-Action-Plan-moves-forward-with-Fifteen88-condo-dev-groundbreaking.jpg
Developer Mike Miller of Abstract Developments (at-centre, wearing a red helmet) and dignitaries officially launch the Fifteen88 condominium development in Saanich's Shelbourne Valley. The 62-suite residence is the first project to proceed to construction following the adoption of the Shelbourne Valley Action Plan that will guide high-density development along a three kilometre stretch of Shelbourne Street in Saanich.

 

Shelbourne Valley Action Plan moves forward with Fifteen88 condo dev groundbreaking

 
The transformation of Saanich’s Shelbourne Valley into a mixed-use, high-density urban community has taken its first step forward with the groundbreaking of Fifteen88, the latest condominium offering from Abstract Developments and the first multi-family project to proceed under the guidance of the Shelbourne Valley Action Plan (SVAP).
 
The 62-suite, four-storey development taking along the 1500-block of North Dairy Road (opposite Hillside Shopping Centre) has already sold through nearly 70% of its one and two-bedroom inventory, a degree of uptake that highlights the pent-up demand for efficient, affordable and future-focused multi-unit housing options along one of the region’s busiest corridors.
 
“The market response to Fifteen88’s condominiums underscores the value that the Shelbourne Valley represents and its destined role as a hub of mixed-use modern buildings, walkable retail amenities, proximity to both UVic and Camosun College, and access to high-frequency public transit routes,” says Mike Miller, President and Founder of Abstract Developments.

Work on the foundation is coming along - the western half is already at grade and the eastern half is finishing the basement/parkade floors and side walls.
