Was this proposal ever shared here? http://lexi.house/projects/elegance/ Pretty awesome looking tower for Esquimalt Rd & Head St. 

Have we seen these renderings for this proposal (Pacific House) before? Is there a dedicated thread for this project?

I don’t know why but I have a feeling this project will never happen

Because it's interesting and modern. On the other hand, it's not in the CoV, does being in Esquimalt help or hurt this proposal?

Is there a thread/discussion for this proposal at Constance & Miles in Esquimalt?

A proposed commercial residential mixed-use building with 109 units and 457 m² of commercial space.

That’s awesome. I wish it was on actual Esquimalt Rd though

A few more details: https://victoria.cit...lbourne-street/

[tiger11]

I don't know if many eyes are watching but there are quite a few projects undergoing the approval process in the Shelbourne Valley (mutifamily units include)

 

- 1544 Christmas Avenue (vacant lot near Maudes) 25 units

- Cedar hill and Cedar hill cross intersection (102 units senior by trillium next to adjacent care home)

- 1560 Church Ave (21 units)

- 3819 Shelbourne (58 Units)

- 3949 Shelbourne (78 units)

- 3200 Wordsworth 56 units (approved)

- Shelbourne and stockton (65 and 37 units)

 

I think the new shelbourne valley action plan has really helped developers. Good to see some solid change coming to the area. Seems to really have been under the radar!

And 1588 North Dairy, Abstract’s condo, and the massive redevelopment of the University Heights complex that will deliver about 350-360 rentals.

My bad, the Wordsworth is one of the legal addresses (previous to amalgamation) of the Abstract project across from the Mall.  Also I am looking very forward to the UH proposal assuming it resembles anything near to its proposal!

Now if it only gets built...

[jonny]

Some friends of ours just got their tiny three house subdivision through Saanich. Only took eleven months.

 

Do we seriously still wonder why the cost of housing is so high around here?

[jasmineshinga]

Oh yeah, the delays just get longer, the fees go higher, and meanwhile we have developers dropping projects and heading to other municipalities where they can still make a buck in a reasonable time frame.

A large below market development targetted at Indigenous tenants is planned for Wale Road: https://www.cheknews...colwood-531815/

Apologies if this has already been posted...

Here's the press release:

 

COLWOOD – A partnership between the Province, Indigenous housing partners and the City of Colwood will soon provide more than 120 new, affordable rental homes for Indigenous families in the area.

 

“We know from our intensive work to address long-standing housing issues in B.C. that the struggle to find a good home can be even greater for Indigenous peoples who are overwhelmingly over-represented among people in B.C. experiencing homelessness,” said Mitzi Dean, MLA for Esquimalt-Metchosin. “That’s why we are partnering with Indigenous organizations and municipalities throughout the province to build the homes that Indigenous families need in our community and at prices they can afford.”

 

The Province is partnering with the Aboriginal Land Trust Society (ALT), Huu-ay-aht First Nations and the City of Colwood to build 124 affordable homes for Indigenous individuals and families at 342 Wale Rd.

 

“The Aboriginal Land Trust Society was established in part to ensure financial support could be seamlessly secured for the development of much-needed affordable housing throughout the province,” said Claire Marshall, board director, Aboriginal Land Trust Society. “With the addition of the Colwood project into our portfolio, ALT will be a stronger, more efficient and an effective non-profit organization with increased capacity and economies of scale in our operations. This project also represents the opportunity to broaden our scope of service delivery to better serve the needs of our clients.

Aboriginal Land Trust Society will work with Yellowridge Construction to develop the building and partner with the Huu-ay-aht First Nations for tenant selection and ongoing management of the new affordable housing project.

 

“I am very proud to give our support for this project,” said Chief Robert Dennis, Huu-ay-aht First Nations. “This project is desperately needed to address the affordable housing challenges facing Indigenous families in the area. This is an opportunity for all of us to work together to make things better for the less fortunate in B.C.”

 

The project is part of the first series of projects selected to receive funding through the Building BC: Indigenous Housing Fund, a 10-year, $550-million investment to build and operate 1,750 new units of social housing, on- and off-reserve in B.C.

 

“The City of Colwood is grateful for this investment in our community and pleased to partner with the Province and Aboriginal Land Trust Society on this new housing,” said Rob Martin, mayor, City of Colwood. “This community project will enhance the diversity of housing in Colwood, create local jobs and add new vibrancy to our town centre.”
