New Rental Homes and Commercial Spaces Envisioned in North Quadra

In total there will be 41 new units: 23 one-bedroom units;16 two-bedroom units; and 2 commercial units.

The property at 4085 Quadra Street is located between two active re-zoning proposals for new mixed-use buildings:
· 4079 Quadra Street: Proposal: Three-storey mixed use building with dental offices on the ground floor and two stories of rentals

Why Rental?
This proposal is aligned with the recently adopted Saanich Housing Strategy and would add much needed purpose-built rental homes to a neighbourhood that has room to grow. In Saanich and surrounding areas there has been underinvestment in purpose-build rental housing, with demand being greater than supply. Saanich’s current vacancy rate is 1.3% (3-5% is considered healthy), with regional population growth anticipated in coming years, putting further pressure on the rental market.
