View Royal council has approved a new 238-suite rental development.

Developer Boardwalk and Invictus Commercial Investment Corp. are planning for two six-storey buildings at 339-345 Island Highway between View RoyalB次元官网网址檚 new fire hall and Prince Robert Drive.

The development will feature various types of units including entry-level studio layouts and three-bedroom homes.

There will be an underground parkade and a central square.

B次元官网网址淭he two vehicle access points connect with Prince Robert Drive,B次元官网网址� Project architect Rob Whetter of Vancouver Island-based de Hoog & Kierulf Architects said in a letter sent to View Royal council. B次元官网网址淪treet-facing ground floor units connect to both Prince Robert Drive and Island Highway, with terraced patios and individual entries from the sidewalk. The buildings are stepped to follow the natural topography and limit the amount of blasting required. Many of the existing trees will be preserved, particularly where they provide green buffering to neighbouring properties.B次元官网网址�

Whetter says there will also be new trees added which will provide a positive contribution to neighbourhood character.

B次元官网网址淭his redevelopment site is uniquely situated to allow for growth with minimal impact to residential neighbours,B次元官网网址� the letter said.

The site sits opposite from the Fort Victoria RV Park.

B次元官网网址淭he RV Park across the road is intended to similarly densify into the new town centre,B次元官网网址� Whetter said.
