2006 Sooke road (4 storey, 73 unit building) to be operated by Pacifica Housing is about to be complete two months ahead of schedule. Credit to Townline for being so darn efficient.

My mistake, it's the 616 Goldstream Pacificia/Townline project that is about to finish.

Ah, ok that makes sense. I noticed it was in good shape last time I drove by.

Does anyone know what's going on with the Ilaria at Hatley Park townhouse project by Bronte Heights Developments on Sooke Road in Colwood?

 

This is a 14-unit townhouse project that has been under construction since summer 2016. They were originally targeting a summer 2017 move-in date, but this place is still far from complete. They're now well beyond two years under construction for a small, wood-frame development. What's the deal?

[sdwright.vic]

Bronte Heights has a project on Gorge Rd that seems to of stalled as well (i.e. dig a hole in the ground and nothing more has happened for months).

DP for 9989 and 9991 Fifth Street in Sidney is going to Advisory Planning Committee tomorrow. 19 units in four storeys, including: 2 3BR, 13 2BR, 4 1BR. Staff are recommending the project be approved with minor revisions to the landscaping prior to Building Permit issuance.

 

Sidney showing it has no intention of slowing down. The application went to Council within three weeks of intake, and to APC within five. All said and done, the DP could be issued in November (I think), less than twelve weeks after intake.

Sidney grew up with Mayor Price took over. Before his time it was the used book shop capital of ...where, exactly? Canada? The northern hemisphere?

 

Sidney's downtown core is going to reach its potential so long as things remain on-track politically.

This DP has been issued. Sidney is going into their election with zero development applications in process. It'll be a clean house for the next Council!

Spoke a little too soon. It appears as though the biggest reason Price was voted out was because of his fast-track approach to these approvals. So zero applications in process, and may stay that way for a while. Sidney had a good run.

I’m interested to see what jackerbie thinks. Seems to be a bit of a Sidney buff

I am sure that the big boxes starting to line up along the highway didn't help.

Sidney has a very easy to use and accessible Development Applications website, which is why I'm able to post frequently. I also grew up in North Saanich and spent lots of time in Sidney, so there's some person interest, too. 

 

On the election side of things, I have no idea what the political climate is in Sidney, and I did not follow any of the new or incumbent candidates. Based purely on the vision Cliff presents on his website, it would appear that the scale of development in Sidney was a significant motivator for people to vote.

D'oh, I should have said Sidney was 'growing up.'

 

Oh well, you can kiss the town's development applications goodbye for a little while. That would probably explain why we saw such a massive rush of development applications within the last two years, no? Jackerbie?

Not sure where to put this - Esquimalt has added a development tracker to the municipal website
