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....

Is it something BC Housing came up with for this project? It is on Nigel Avenue, and some of the buildings being redeveloped have Nigel in the name
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.
