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.

So finally, 2.5 years after formal approval, it looks like this one is moving ahead. Drove by today and noticed the heavy equipment had made short work of the existing structure. If you were hoping to partake at Il Greco one last time at the old location.....poof!....too late as of now its rubble. :)
