The apartments are designed to be student pods with common interior living/cooking facilities. We have a local artist to paint the soffit mural that bleeds down the stairwells and into the bike room and exterior ground floor architectural concrete. it’ll be fun!

Looks like a fantastic addition to the Junction!

What will happen with the current residents?

Will you be rending to students first and then allow the general population or will it strictly be students-only?

Perhaps a dumb question, but wouldn't Saanich be more appropriate for student housing?

We had a chance to speak with Aryze about the concept. This will be an interesting project, and it looks like it's at the front of an emerging trend.

interesting.
and i do not mean this in any negative way.
but without linking this to students it would be considered a huge "rooming house". and not get approval almost anywhere.

Residents will share common features like in-suite kitchens

Unless, of course, the kitchens are out of suite.

every "pod" has a kitchen.
it's just that you will have 4 unrelated people in the largest unit.
so you have 23 units with as many as 74 unrelated people living there. assuming no bedrooms are shared.

Some rooms appear to have private bathrooms while others will have to share.

Student housing? You bet there's going to be some bedroom sharing.

well that's why this is almost institutional in nature. it's certainly not your typical apartment building in terms of tenant make-up. tenants are expected to turn often. but i'm not sure how the tenancy act comes into play. ie. what if someone wants to stay for 10 years? or if you can even discriminate against non-students.
remember that one guy that stayed on at UVic residences and it took them years to get rid of him. but that was specific residence housing that does not have all he protections of the RTA.
