Maybe they should abandon those areas to the automobile and try to develop better major centres modelled after Brentwood Bay or Cook St. Village etc. but with higher density--up to 10 storeys. True compact, dense, walkable, transit-friendly urban centres.

Build up a high enough pop base and boom instant vibrancy that just might make the new T&C mall into something that people actually want to visit.
The other spot in Saanich that has immense potential is the Shellbourne /Cedar Hill X area. Though it isn't talked about much on here, there has been quite a lot of residential going into the area over the last few years and if there was some will on the part of property owners to change the forms of their strip malls to sidewalk oriented shopping with condos above this area could really be a destination but that will obviously be many years off.

I don't think that Tuscany Village will look all that appealing a few years down the road.
It's already starting to show its age.
Next time anyone is in the vicinity take a close look at some of the edges of the buildings and where it's already begun chipping away you'll notice the padding under the stucco is styrofoam or a material very similar to it. A good spot to see this is near the Thrifty's loading bay where several trucks have left their mark.
Know it all.

Back in '04 when Quadra Pacific's president wanted to leave a legacy to the city by building several rental buildings councillors chucked him and his plans out the door.

If you built such a building and sold each unit as a condo for 350,000 total sales would be 5.6 million. How much of that would be profit, or do you only start to see profit on larger scale developments?
