Developer donates two houses instead of demolishing as land is prepared for condo project

It’s a novel approach by Edmonton-based developer TLA Developments, clearing the site for a five-storey, 46-unit condominium project.

Two homes being removed to make way for a condominium project in Esquimalt are going to the Songhees First Nation to help alleviate a housing crunch on the reserve.

It has also given the plants, shrubs, trees and landscaping materials to neighbours and the First Nation to keep them out of the landfill. TLA Developments’ condominium project has been approved by Esquimalt council, and awaits final approval by staff for its development permit. Construction is expected to start this summer.
