Langford cut a ribbon Friday on what will be its highest buildings and a ­project that will change the skyline on the West Shore.

The Scene by Evantra Developments will have 270 condominium units in two towers — 18 and 24 storeys high — to be built over the next two years.

The concrete towers, at Peatt and Scafe roads, will be built near ­downtown where wartime houses once stood. The development clears the way for ­Langford to become a “modern city,” said Mayor Stew Young.

I checked out the excavation here, it’s a perfectly manicured site, right down to the millimetre. Whoever did that job, did an excellent job.

Nothing was happening at the site outside of what looked like a complete excavation or a nearly complete excavation. There was wood material on the upper portion but no construction company offices or staging that I could see, outside of a shipping container and a big waste bin. They shored up the walls of the dig with wood so maybe that work is still continuing, and relates to the wood that I saw.

A few days ago the Sales Team sent a message to purchasers

As previously communicated, we commenced site and offsite preparations late last year and early this year, and have made modest progress over the Spring and early Summer. Despite a recent minor delay due to the availability of specific trades, we are pleased to announce that we will soon resume full-scale construction. Over the next few weeks, we will begin constructing the parkade and podium, including installing the crane as the building starts to come out of the ground. With the challenging times behind us now, we are optimistic that the project will gain some good traction.

I drove by today and its still an abandoned hole
