Six-storey rental building with ground-floor commercial space would replace an existing four-unit townhouse development at 1693-1699 Fort St.
A 34-unit rental project in the South Jubilee neighbourhood, initially conceived as student housing, will now head to public hearing as a mixed-use, purpose-built rental development after getting unanimous approval from Victoria council’s committee of the whole Thursday.
“It’s just really a growing area and I think a great location for this type of rental project,” he said. “I completely appreciate that if we put more parking on this site, we would completely lose the ability to actually build any housing here. I think this is going to serve a segment of the population that is looking for this.”“I love the fact that it’s a proposed mixed-use facility,” he said. “And I’m just delighted that it’s purpose-built rental.
Area resident Robert Rawson said in his submission that the six-storey building will “dwarf” the four-storey apartment buildings around it and could lead to more structures of that size in the neighbourhood, “effectively turning a pleasant place to live into an overly dense, busy downtown feel.” Aryze’s plans for the site cater to the emerging car-free lifestyle that council seems to favour, based on other projects it has approved this year.
