There is a similar development to this on Tillicum between Gorge Rd. and Craigflower, it seemed to sell out fast.

Very desirable type of housing for young families.

Are they fee-simple?

I don’t think so. The strata situation is definitely not to everyone’s liking, but if run well they can be quite good.

I was wondering when this development would get its own thread! I live just down the street from it (in an older townhouse development), and the council meeting where it was approved was a lovely counter-narrative to NIMBY opposition. Multiple neighbours - including those directly in front and beside - this development spoke out in favour of it! Burnside Gorge (and specifically Washington Ave) has some issues with a higher ratio of supportive and transitional housing. Increasing the proportion of market-rate, family-oriented housing is one way to offset it.

Right now, there are THREE developments all in-progress where a single family home was taken down and 4+ homes are going up in its place.

• One development has 4 homes (almost complete, backing onto our beautiful new park and the goose).
• Another development has 8 homes (I"m not sure where this one is in terms of approvals. See here: https://pub-victoria.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=62377
• Finally, 3 lots were amalgamated to create this lovely towhhouse development of 32 homes.

I can't wait for all of them to be finished, and see how much more vibrant our street will become!
