Gene Miller has a lot to say about Two Waters and its aspirational promo materials.

 

“A new vision of community begins with a bird’s eye view,” warbles the full-page ad. And there, just beside the aerial photograph of the property, and within reach of the gag-worthy banner “It will take a village” (I swear I’m not making this up), is a picture of a heron in profile—clearly on the payroll for now, but soon to be served with a scram notice when the ‘dozers start to rumble. Is that a heartbroken, prefigurative tear rolling from its eye down its long beak? Can’t quite tell.

Whatever they are relatively affordable townhouses for regular families

Miller was once the development industry’s go-to consultant. It seems like his involvement has waned in recent years.

Unless he lives in the clouds or possibly the third dimension I wonder how many - feel free to insert any one or all of heron's, meadows, brooks, streams, salmon fry ad nauseum - were literally shoved aside or plowed under to make way for wherever it is Gene Miller lives? 

 

Since he "once ran" the Broughton Commuincations Group: hm...wasn't that located downtown? Gee I wonder what priceless pieces of "old" Victoria architecture were potentially demolished originally to construct that building?

 

See really anyone can play the game: I guess there is a certain crabby old demographic - including ex ad agency managers perhaps? - who, once they've cashed out and secured their piece of the southern island pie, somehow feel entitled to tell other potential residents to bugger off. Phhhhhhhht.

I don't know. While I can sometimes get annoyed with Miller on the LGE Show, I think this column and the idea behind it are spot on. The advertising for the product is over the top.

It has a whole new look!

Miller is a little late, though. Two Waters is undergoing a complete re-envisioning based on feedback the team received during the project’s initial launch period earlier in the year. It’s been several months since the current concept went dormant.

I tried emailing INFO@twowaterscolwood.ca to ask about this project, but it appears to be an undeliverable address... I wonder how to get in contact with the planners for this project?

You'll want to reach out to Merrick Architecture, which is the firm that had designed the original masterplan and presumably has been retained to re-envision it.

The 26.5-acre Two Waters Colwood property is on the market to pay off a $25.4-million debt in a court-ordered sale.

 

Colwood Mayor Rob Martin hopes a sale will finally lead to construction of hundreds of new homes on the sloping site facing Esquimalt Lagoon, after other plans fell through.

Does anybody have any updates on this? Has it sold? Who is the new purchaser?
