New-build townhomes in Langford’s ‘lake district’ are on-track for summer occupancy as award-winning Abstract Developments readies for the sales launch of Willow + Glen, the company’s highly anticipated first-ever West Shore project that is setting a new standard for Victoria’s suburban townhome market.
Situated near the intersection of Jacklin Road and Sooke Road, Abstract is delivering a collection of nature-inspired three and four-bedroom residences (see website; view the profile on Citified) featuring timeless exterior design, professionally curated interiors, and family-friendly amenities all in walking distance to some of the West Shore’s best natural landmarks and parkland.
Sales are scheduled to begin on June 15th, with a live broadcast featuring 100.3 The Q!, snacks and refreshments, and an appearance from Pacific Football Club at Abstract’s Home Store presentation centre at 748A Goldstream Avenue in downtown Langford. Tours of the highly anticipated and newly-completed display homes will be offered in the week that follows.

Abstract spared no details in staging its recently opened display home at Willow + Glen showcasing the lengths to which the company’s designers went in creating functional and practical family-sized layouts in spacious three and four-bedroom floorplans, where space is maximized and utility is top-of-mind.
Featuring two outdoor spaces, every Willow + Glen townhome makes the most of Victoria’s mild climate, by featuring a ground floor private living area, and a generous second level balcony. Natural light fills each unit through expansive windows, as over-height nine-foot ceilings make any room feel bright and welcoming. Low maintenance, brushed oak laminate flooring is well matched to high quality cabinetry and accents, available in two subtle colour combinations that Abstract says help create a “sense of serenity.”
Willow + Glen is situated along the Galloping Goose Regional Trail, making cycling as a transportation choice into downtown Langford and downtown Victoria seamless. For residents relying on transit services, Willow + Glen benefits from a transit mainline connecting downtown Victoria in the AM rush hours and back again from Victoria in the PM, with all-day service to nearby Langford Exchange where multiple transit lines converge.
Access to Highway 1 is a breeze via West Shore Parkway or Veterans Memorial Parkway, and Highway 14 parallels a portion of the Willow + Glen property to easily connect to popular destinations like Sooke, Jordan River and Port Renfrew along the Capital’s wild west coast oceanfront.

For recreation, nearby Glen Lake and Langford Lake make for memorable summer days with the kids. A walking trail into Happy Valley’s picturesque landscapes on the Galloping Goose is at Willow + Glen’s doorstep, while Colwood Creek Park is a family-friendly green space just minutes away, as is Fischer Trail, leading to a small lake west of Glen Lake.
Additionally, Willow + Glen's amenity green space, known as Bodman Park in homage of the family that resided on the property for several generations, will include a play area for kids amid professionally landscaped parkland.
“Many Victorians are now realizing how family-friendly and full of recreational activities the Westshore communities are, particularly in the vicinity of their shared border on Jacklin Road at Sooke Road,” says Tavish Rai, Abstract’s CEO. “Our early previewers say they have become enchanted by the possibilities of the area, and their kids love the many playgrounds and places to ride their bikes.”
For shopping amenities, the West Shore boasts some of the best retail services and experiences of the Capital Region. Costco is a short drive away, as are big-box stores like Home Depot, Rona, SuperStore and Walmart. A growing number of food establishments offer everything from fine dining with amazing views, to local chains specializing in ethnic dishes, to some of the best national and international restaurant brands.
Several malls and retail centres are close by, including West Shore Town Centre, Belmont Market and Colwood Corners, providing a growing array of amenities, local businesses and popular chains.

As Abstract Developments grows into the West Shore’s housing market, the company’s award-winning homes will be available for the first time beyond Victoria’s urban core, where the company has made a name for itself as one of the most reputable and desirable new-build housing providers for residences from across the housing spectrum. And projects like Willow + Glen, says Rai, are just the beginning of Abstract’s westward expansion.
“Abstract is committed to developing new homes on the West Shore, arguably among the most desirable housing markets in British Columbia. And thanks to its natural setting close to nature and recreational opportunities, the West Shore is a gem among family-friendly housing communities on southern Vancouver Island,” Rai said, adding that “Willow + Glen is a considerable milestone for Abstract, which for nearly 25 years has been creating high quality, thoughtfully built homes that have become landmarks in the communities they’ve helped grow.”
