133-units of housing planned for Sooke's town centre

Nestled between the Strait of Juan de Fuca and miles of Vancouver Island rainforest, Greater Victoria’s oceanside suburb of Sooke is a community on the cusp of a real-estate boom as growing numbers of families, retirees and empty-nesters look beyond the region’s urban core to an authentically west coast lifestyle.
With south Island real-estate prices pushing home ownership out of reach for many, the rush of newcomers to the aptly-coined ‘affordable homeownership frontier of the Capital Region,’ Sooke is still positioned as Victoria’s last stand of competitively-priced real-estate.
But given its population growth rate of 4% per annum and a low volume of new housing, the town of 13,000 inhabitants won’t be affordable forever. [Full article]

These houses have front porches: What's happening with Wadams Farm development in Sooke
When Aragon bought the former farm site 2018, it had already been rezoned for residential development.
The city gave the green light to Aragon’s plans to build houses on small lots and add townhouses.
Aragon will retain ownership of the three-level rental townhomes, but single-family homes will be sold as fee-simple lots.
Most houses range from 1,700 square feet to just shy of 2,000 square feet. The starting price is $890,000.
Ramsay expects all the houses to be finished about this time next year.
Paved lanes run behind the houses, each of which has a two-car garage with an EV charger at the rear of the property, moving vehicles away from the streets.
It costs more to add lanes but “ultimately we think it makes for a better product,” Ramsay said. The streets and lanes will become municipal property.
The first townhouses totalling 22 units are under construction across the street from the first single-family houses. They range in size from about 1,300 square feet up to 1,650 square feet. Rents have not been set yet.
The development’s main amenity area will include a pickleball-multi-purpose court, a children’s playground with natural features and a 10,000-square-foot dog park.
