Nice. Five mins from our hood across the bridge this will be a huge improvement over the old tired strip that's there now. I believe Il Greco stays but moves around the corner to front onto Gorge Road.

That explains why the businesses have been vacating on the Gorge Rd side. I wondered why that was when I knew it was proposed that building was staying.

Correction to the above!

The representative for this project misspoke and has confirmed the project is heading to a public hearing, not that it was formally approved.

Saanich green lit a five-story, mixed-use development for the intersection of Gorge Road West and Tillicum Road after a Jan. 12 public hearing.

Council voted unanimously in favour of the 53-unit multi-family building with commercial spaces at the ground level for 300 Gorge Road West and 2900 Tillicum Road. The property, in the northwest corner of the intersection, is currently home to Il Greco – the property owner’s restaurant – and other businesses.
