A former bowling alley site in Saanich, B.C. could soon be transformed into hundreds of rental units and a large grocery store, if a Vancouver-based developer has its way.
The 3.38-acre site located on 760 Tolmie Ave. was the former home of the Mayfair Lanes bowling alley, which was demolished in 2006.The proposal includes three residential towers, between 21 and 24 storeys tall, containing 555 purpose-built rental units.Saanich Mayor Dean Murdoch says a development like this could help turn the Uptown and Mayfair area into a downtown zone for the municipality.
"It's an area where we would expect to have taller buildings, where we would put more people close to services," he said. "Restaurants, even the mall – you know, we can see how many empty stores there are – and this is just going to help fill the stores," he said.
