people have an unfounded security fear in ground floor units. I don’t understand it either. every single family home has a ground floor and there seems to be less fear there.

 

My brother owns a ground floor condo. It was broken into by burglars who damaged his patio's fence during their heist. The strata refused to fix the damage, so my brother had to do makeshift repairs for the safety of his tenants. Then he got fined by the strata for making alterations to the building's exteriors.

 

If only he had a bought a 3rd floor unit...

Looks great; lots happening in Esquimalt-Vic West. I know at least a couple of those older 4 floor apartments along Craigflower are also slated to be replaced, although with what I don't know. Presumably new rental buildings.

 

A Calgary developer - don't know the name of it - has also apparently approached some of our neighbors with apparent interest in a broader land & property acquisition play to buy out multiple homes/properties in our area presumably with the idea of building townhomes. I gather mail-outs have or will be sent out to local residents gauging interest in selling, so they're currently "kicking the tires".
