Eleven new townhomes will fit nicely into this parcel of land on Wilkinson Road that was once zoned agricultural. As you can see from the area map below (click on it for an expanded version), although the site was zoned agricultural, it was a good choice for residential infill in an area surrounded by development.

And the District of Saanich was very pleased the developer gifted the bottom area of the site through which Colquitz Creek passes - it will be dedicated park in the future.

Wilkinson Road is a busy street, but good landscape screening is planned on that side for the two units that actually back onto the street. The eleven living units will be clustered around the site in groups of two, three and four, in four buildings. Construction takes advantage of the gradually sloping terrain, with the higher, three-story units being placed back from Wilkinson Road.

Seven of the dwellings have three floors, and so this is another development which could be problematic for anyone having difficulty with stairs. If that isn’t a concern, these floor plans offer nice variety. A very nice feature of the four units at the rear of the site is the ‘flex’ room with connecting bathroom on the bottom level.

Speaking of bathrooms, they are amply provided for - most units have 2 1/2 bathes, and a few have 3 1/2. And all units will have a spacious private patio.

Entry is via a common laneway from Wilkinson Road. The lane opens up into extra parking beyond the first building on the left and right side of the entry.

Construction is well underway. These properties are on the market, most in the $450,000 to $500,000 range.
