Why one founding member loves the Esquimalt site
Here’s the story of how Barbara became a founding member of Esquimalt Village Cohousing.
Celebrating our Land Purchase and Rezoning Application
Our community gathered at the Gorge Pavilion to mark our upcoming closing on our land purchase at 1140 and 1148 Esquimalt Road and that we’ve just submitted our application to rezone the property.
Approaching a Major Milestone!
Our professional team is busy preparing our rezoning application. We're finalizing floor plans, landscape designs, and community agreements — and associate members get a seat at the table.
Exciting News: We've Secured Our Future Home!
We're thrilled to announce Esquimalt Village Cohousing has officially secured its future site at 1140-1148 Esquimalt Road! This prime, walkable location in Esquimalt Town Centre offers easy access to amenities like Country Grocer, Memorial Park, and local shops. Our architectural team is preparing the rezoning application, with purchase completion expected in early November 2025. Join us in shaping this exciting, sustainable community in the heart of Esquimalt!
Our Community Vision is Blooming
On July 5, 2025, our community gathered at Ravens Crossing Cohousing for an energizing design workshop that explored possibilities for our future home.
Land Ho! Esquimalt!
We have exciting news! Our offer was accepted on the group's preferred site in the heart of Esquimalt. We have a prime location between Fernhill Rd and Joffre St now under contract to purchase, subject to the favourable outcome of our feasibility investigation.
Off to a Great Start! “Getting Your Community Built”
Our recent "Getting Your Community Built Workshop" drew 23 Associate Members and their families to Harbourside Cohousing just west of Victoria in Sooke, BC. Participants learned essential steps for building their cohousing community and number committed to supporting the project move forward by becoming Pre-Equity members.
