I believe that the ambulance station is owned by the BCEHS, which is a Crown corp, not the Town. It'll be an orphan lot between the Meridian and Cameo (if approved), so hopefully someone can do an attractive single-lot infill development.

 

 

I think one of the staff reports on the new fire hall discussed this... pretty sure it said that BC Ambulance only leased that space from a private owner and the lease was up this year. Going to be a tough site to develop, but could also be very cool!

 

And here it is, the attractive single lot infill proposal from Finlayson Bonet Architects. Not sure who the developer is, but the project stats include 1 CRU, 4 3BR, 6 2BR, and 2 1BR units (12 residential units total). Staff report and plans can be found here, at the bottom of the list: http://www.sidney.ca...pplications.htm

I've confirmed it is not Casman Properties, developer of Cameo.

Interesting note: this project will include a vehicle elevator to access the underground parking.

Should be fun for the residents when:

 

1. It needs servicing.

2. The power goes out.

3. It breaks down.

The odds of those three things happening one after the other like that must be pretty low.

Or high.

 

Unlikely, I mean.

Have there been any issues with the car elevator at the Sovereign building?

I heard it's scary...

 

...how good it is.

[aastra]

No, I actually haven't heard anything.

I believe this one was approved with variances.
