Lots of activity here, just drove by along Saanich Road past Uptown and took a quick peek as I went through the intersection. Fencing is up and access to the site for heavy equipment all well established. Hard to tell whether any actual de/construction has happened from that angle but things are moving along.

Still scratching my head as to the "Nigel Valley". Family lived on Darwin Avenue from the mid-1950's to the early 00's and I never ever once heard anyone in that neighborhood utter the words "the Nigel Valley". Must be realtor/development company marketing-speak....

Nigel Avenue is the road that bisects the entire master-planned community both previously, and in the future. I believe the 'valley' was brought up as a naming convention in the master plan as the site itself sits at a low-elevation compare to the surrounding areas. I presume this is an old stream bed that fed Swan Lake in the past.
