Bear Mountain Golf Resort Community - Victoria, BC
Bear Mountain Resort is a mixed use, golf-based, year-round community of over 1500 homes and amenities. Located on the side of Skirt Mountain, the comprehensive, recreation oriented community was carefully designed to enhance the environmental values of the site and unique lifestyle vision of the founders.
As a greenfield site, the planning process over several years involved an OCP amendment, rezoning, master servicing agreements and ongoing development permit submissions. An extensive public consultation process was crafted and evolved throughout the planning of this unique community.
Syne Waterfront - Fort McMurray, AB
Located on a northern waterway, this proposed mixed use development was a public/private initiative for the City of Fort McMurray. A brief construction season, desperate need for housing and environmental constraints guided the plan and design of this mixed use neighbourhood.
Colwood City Centre - Colwood, BC
City Centre Colwood was planned as a cohesive urban experience for the millenial creative class. The community is technologically advanced with a sustainability focus allowing residents and visitors to truly live, work and recreate all in one place.
The planning involved amalgamating land parcels into a Comprehensive Development Zone. Formerly a dated car-focused commercial area, an OCP amendment, rezoning, and detailed submissions were required. Timing and economic conditions stalled the vision coming into fruition.
