Esquimalt is moving forward with a developer’s proposal to combine two adjacent projects into a single 314-unit, mixed-use apartment complex.
Aquila Pacific president Harsimer Rattan told council the company decided to combine the projects after they were able to acquire more property on the block.The proposed building would consolidate lots at 1319, 1331 and 1347 Sussex St. with lots at 602, 608, 612 and 618 Nelson St., which have been zoned for high density and mixed-use commercial use in Esquimalt’s official community plan.
The developer has offered the northwest corner of Esquimalt Road at Nelson Street for a 5,000-square-foot park as a density bonus amenity, a move that was well received by council. Out of the 314 units, a housing covenant would guarantee that 15 units be accessible and at least 26 be rented at below-market rates, for 30 per cent of a tenant’s household income.

However, it could be feasible if specialized services are contracted out. The township would need to invest in new or refurbished police facilities and hire a minimum of 25 officers.
