A new community is taking shape in one of Greater Victoria’s most sought-after neighbourhoods — and it’s already attracting strong attention from homebuyers and investors. Marlowe, located at 4201 Tyndall Avenue in Saanich’s Gordon Head area, is a thoughtfully designed collection of condominiums and townhomes now in pre-sales and under active construction. With completion planned for 2026, this development blends attainability, lifestyle, and long-term value in a way few projects in the region do.

Designed for first-time buyers, young families, downsizers, and investors, Marlowe brings much-needed new housing to Victoria’s urban core with a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, plus spacious three-bedroom townhomes.


A Community Rooted in Gordon Head Living

Situated in the 4200-block of Tyndall Avenue, Marlowe places residents in the heart of a well-established neighbourhood known for:

  • Quiet, family-friendly streets

  • Proximity to parks and recreation

  • Access to schools and UVic

  • Urban convenience within a residential setting

  • Short commutes to downtown Victoria

This location is especially appealing to local buyers, parents with school-aged children, and investors targeting long-term rental demand from students, professionals, and families.


Modern Homes for Every Stage of Life

Marlowe offers a range of floorplans to suit different needs and budgets, including:

  • Studios & bachelor suites — perfect for first-time buyers and investors

  • 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom condos — ideal for singles, couples, and downsizers

  • 3-bedroom layouts — appealing to growing families and multi-person households

  • Townhomes — featuring three bedrooms, private entries, and more living space

This variety positions Marlowe as one of the most flexible pre-sale opportunities in Saanich, appealing to a wide demographic.


Designed and Developed for Long-Term Value

Backed by trusted developers Cadillac Homes and Tri-Eagle Development Corporation, Marlowe is being constructed with quality and function in mind:

  • Woodframe construction

  • Three-storey residential design

  • Surface parking

  • Planned show suite launching this spring

  • Hard hat tours available now by request

These details ensure purchasers have confidence in both craftsmanship and project delivery timelines — a major advantage in the pre-sale market.


VIP Interest Already Taking Off

Even before the official public launch, interest in Marlowe has been strong. Thirteen homes have already sold to VIP registrants, signaling early confidence from local and investor buyers.

For serious purchasers, exclusive hard hat tours are now being offered. Closed-toe shoes are required, and all safety gear (such as vests and helmets) will be provided. This private access offers a behind-the-scenes look at the community before the show suite opens.


Show Suite Launching Soon

A fully staged show suite is set to debut this spring, giving buyers a firsthand look at interior finishes, layout options, and design selections. Interested clients are encouraged to stay connected and register early to receive an invitation to the opening.


Strong Appeal for Investors, First-Time Buyers & Families

Marlowe has been carefully tailored to attract a range of buyer types:

First-time buyers — entry-level pricing and attainable ownership options
Investors — high rental demand from UVic, Camosun, and military personnel
Local families — access to schools, transit, parks and multi-bedroom homes
Downsizers — low-maintenance living in a quiet, established neighbourhood
Out-of-province buyers — long-term appreciation in a high-demand region
Townhome buyers — three-bedroom layouts with more space and privacy

By offering both condos and townhomes, this development supports multiple buyer profiles within one cohesive community.


A Limited Opportunity in the Urban Core

With pre-sales now underway and interest increasing, Marlowe is positioned to sell quickly — especially as construction progresses and the show suite opens. As Greater Victoria continues to face housing constraints and growing demand, opportunities like this are becoming increasingly competitive.

Unlike many presale projects years from occupancy, Marlowe offers a reasonable timeline to completion, making it especially attractive to those planning a transition or investment over the next one to two years.


Register Now or Book a Hard Hat Tour

With units already sold through VIP access and the show suite launching soon, now is the ideal time to get ahead of the public release.

Location: 4201 Tyndall Avenue, Saanich
Status: Under construction — completing in 2026
Homes: Studios, 1BR, 2BR, 3BR, and three-bedroom townhomes

Flora at Oakwoods: Where West Coast Heritage Meets Modern Luxury Living in Esquimalt

CONTACT US AT info@bchomegroup.ca

Book a viewing today and experience Flora at Oakwoods in person.

If you’re looking for a move-in ready home in Greater Victoria that blends heritage character with modern design, Flora at Oakwoods offers a rare opportunity. Located at 429 Lampson Street in Esquimalt, this six-storey condominium development is now selling and ready for homeowners and investors seeking long-term value, lifestyle appeal, and exceptional craftsmanship.

Just minutes from downtown Victoria, the residences at Oakwoods are part of a thoughtfully designed community inspired by the history of the site and the surrounding West Coast landscape.

A New Community Rooted in Heritage

The charm of Oakwoods is not accidental — it's intentionally woven into the architecture. The original manor's heritage character has been reimagined with features like:

  • Pitched roofs

  • Mullioned windows

  • Cedar shakes

  • Locally quarried stone

These classic elements are balanced with modern construction, creating a timeless streetscape that appeals to both lifestyle buyers and investors looking for properties with enduring value and curb appeal.


Designed by Visionary West Coast Architect Paul Merrick

Renowned architect Paul Merrick brought the West Coast landscape into every element of the design. Instead of building over nature, the development preserves and integrates the surrounding environment.

The tones, textures, and materials reflect the region’s forests and coastal energy. From the exterior architecture to interior detailing, the residences draw inspiration from both the site’s history and modern coastal living.


Interiors that Elevate Everyday Living

Homes at Flora at Oakwoods combine elegance, warmth, and craftsmanship — ideal for homeowners and rental investors alike.

Key interior features include:

  • Engineered oak flooring in a herringbone pattern

  • Italian shaker-style kitchen cabinetry

  • Quartz countertops

  • Premium GE Monogram appliances

  • Bright, airy living spaces with West Coast-inspired palettes

Whether you’re downsizing, relocating to Vancouver Island, purchasing your first home, or acquiring an income property, these design details elevate both comfort and long-term value.


Ideal for Local Buyers, Relocators, and Investors

Flora at Oakwoods speaks to three key buyer groups:

✅ 1. Local Buyers in Victoria & Esquimalt

The location offers convenient access to parks, oceanfront paths, grocery stores, schools, transit, and downtown Victoria — just minutes away. Residents can enjoy a walkable, highly livable neighbourhood with urban amenities close by.

✅ 2. Investors from Out-of-Province or Overseas

With year-round rental demand, proximity to CFB Esquimalt, and Greater Victoria’s low vacancy rates, these homes hold excellent revenue potential. Their blend of heritage style and modern interiors increases their appeal to long-term tenants.

✅ 3. Greater Victoria Homebuyers

Families, downsizers, professionals, and first-time buyers will all find options among the 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom floorplans. The move-in ready status offers convenience, and the long-term appreciation outlook in this region remains strong.


Location Advantage: The Heart of Esquimalt

Flora at Oakwoods is situated in one of Greater Victoria’s fastest-growing residential hubs. The Municipality of Esquimalt offers a rare combination of value, accessibility, and charm.

Nearby highlights include:

  • Downtown Victoria (10 minutes)

  • Saxe Point Park & ocean views

  • Esquimalt Recreation Centre

  • Local cafes and restaurants

  • Transit and commuter routes

  • Shopping, schools, and services

Whether you're buying for lifestyle or investment, the location supports strong resale and rental value over time.


Now Selling: Move-In Ready Residences

With sales already underway and homes ready for occupancy, buyers don’t have to wait for future phases or construction delays. This immediate availability appeals to:

  • Buyers needing quick possession

  • Investors ready to generate rental income

  • Relocators moving to Vancouver Island

  • Downsizers transitioning sooner than later

  • Military and government employees posted nearby


Why Flora at Oakwoods Ranks High in Buyer Appeal

This development stands out in the Greater Victoria market for several reasons:

  • ✅ Heritage-inspired design with modern construction

  • ✅ Premium interior finishes and appliances

  • ✅ Turnkey, move-in ready homes

  • ✅ Strong rental and resale value

  • ✅ Sought-after Esquimalt location

  • ✅ Blend of 1BR, 2BR, and 3BR layouts

  • ✅ Architect-designed spaces with coastal influence

Victoria real estate market finds a healthy balance in autumn


A total of 554 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this September, 3 per cent fewer than the 571 properties sold in September 2024 and 5.5 per cent more than in August 2025. Sales of condominiums decreased by 18.5 per cent from September 2024 with 154 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased by 6.3 per cent from September 2024 with 289 sold.


“September was another stable month for local real estate,” said 2025 Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Dirk VanderWal. “Stability is a good thing; we don’t want to see huge fluctuations in price or number of sales in our market. A market like we currently are in, that experiences typical seasonality, and includes a healthy amount of inventory and a good selection of interested buyers, is one where we won’t have that overheated pressure on pricing and on transactions that we saw in previous years. Our current market is fairly balanced, with less pressure on both the buyers’ and the sellers’ sides. This means each party in the transaction has time to do their due diligence and make decisions.” 


There were 3,694 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of September 2025, an increase of 2.6 per cent compared to the previous month of August and a 9.9 per cent increase from the 3,361 active listings for sale at the end of September 2024.


“Single family homes and townhome sales remained strong last month,” adds Chair VanderWal. “The condo market proved slightly softer. Decreasing interest rates may bring more buyers into the field, including first time home buyers who often purchase condos. In these balanced market conditions, if you’re selling, it’s important your home is well-presented and correctly priced. If you are purchasing, it’s important you prioritize your needs and wants as there are more options to choose from. Your REALTOR® can help you identify the right strategy for a successful sale or purchase.”


The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core in September 2024 was $1,279,700. The benchmark value for the same home in September 2025 increased by 1.2 per cent to $1,294,800, down from August’s value of $1,308,100. The MLS® HPI benchmark value for a condominium in the Victoria Core area in September 2024 was $553,400, while the benchmark value for the same condominium in September 2025 decreased by 1.1 per cent to $547,500, down from the August value of $551,300.
