After their failure to gain a DP for the site, here is a debriefing from the developer Karl Robertson of Empresa Properties in case you didnt see it in the 29er Radio thread.   http://bit.ly/2ubc2yX

OK, the previous 4 storey proposal for 1120 Burdett has been modified by the developer (Empresa) - it is now a 5-storey building with a portion rising to just 3 storeys, and the unit count has increased to 42 units with 40 parking stalls. Apparently the design now 'better fits' the immediate neighbourhood. Unit sizes range from studios to 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom suites.

No images are available yet, but you can find the CALUC summary at: https://fairfieldcom...-27-2020-V3.pdf

Ok, here’s a rendering of the 1120 Burdett proposal referenced above:

This project is now in its third major revision, is it not?

The design is very commercial-like, particularly on the three lowest floors. It looks like an office building.

I actually see faint echoes of the Atrium in this design...

Yes, this is version #3. Council rejected the condo proposal; then Empresa proposed a 4-storey rental, and this is now a 5-storey rental.

Going by the design this is either Cascadia or D'Ambrosio.

Curate is also behind the proposal for townhouses on Washington Ave (I posted about it recently in the 'rumour thread'); does anyone know what other local projects they have done?

Did you know, that the City of Langford, and the City of Victoria, have built the same supply of rental apartment density between 2016 and 2021, despite Langford having a population equal to 47% of Victoria's (44k vs. 94k), according to Citified’s data tracking, and the CRD's 2020 population estimate?

Just imagine if Langford ever starts building apartments at the same rate the CoV was building apartments a few decades ago.

 

Anyway, we already knew the total population of a municipality has no bearing on whether it builds lots of apartments. Saanich has been proving that every day for the past 70 years. Meanwhile, Esquimalt has a small total population and yet it's not too far off from CoV levels.

I’m trying to imagine what the house costs are going to be in Metchosin and Highlands in 15 years.

I think, no, I do like the original rendering better.  This looks like an office building.  I don't know if they're going for some faux art-deco look but it's not working for me.
