1964 Oak Bay

This area of South Jubilee is well known for its harmonious diversity of commercial retail, essential amenities, mixed-use multi-family residential buildings and single-family dwellings.

It serves as a destination for many in the city due to its well-known local shops and pedestrian- friendly design. The context of the small urban village offers a wide range of businesses, services and transit—and is also less than 1km from key employment centres such as Royal Jubilee Hospital.

Along Amphion Street, the public nature of the ground level program begins to transition towards more private space. The CRU ends at the residential lobby, after which ground oriented live/work lofts bring a gentler activation along the street edge. A small setback from the property line to the live/work lofts offers a softening of the sidewalk to the front entrances of the homes with a raised planter.

The subject site is located within a well-connected, walkable neighbourhood that supports a range of transportation options. Its proximity to frequent transit routes, cycling infrastructure and key amenities makes it an ideal site for a car-lite lifestyle.

Located just 2.8 kilometres east of Downtown Victoria, the site sits within a walkable and transit-rich environment, with seamless access to key destinations such as Camosun College (2.5 km) and the University of Victoria (5 km). Oak Bay Avenue itself is a key arterial route that links neighbourhoods, commercial areas and educational institutions, making it a strategic corridor for daily movement across the city.
