Tomorrow, Shawn Winters from Storm Coast Contracting will be joining us. We’ll have an opportunity to discuss what is involved in upgrading a non-conforming suite to a compliant suite, along with the approximate costs. We’ll also discuss an exciting concept developed by the View Royal Climate Coalition called Density Without Demolition. The idea is to prioritize adapting our existing housing stock and creating compliant suites, rather than tearing homes down to build four to six new units. Preserving existing homes, trees and landscaping helps keep carbon out of the atmosphere and can help keep our communities cooler while also creating housing more affordably and with less disruption. That is becoming increasingly important. You can learn more here: https://creativelyunited.org/a-new-approach-to-lower-housing-costs-a-cooler-cheaper-leafy-path-to-housing/ I believe this presents a real opportunity for Shared Home Ownership Victoria to work with companies such as Storm Coast Contracting to convert existing homes into safe, compliant and more affordable housing. See you tomorrow! David

This brand new one bedroom suite in a Townhouse in Royal Bat located at 3761 Producers Way, is priced to sell at $245,750. I've attached a drawing I did a month or so ago at a higher price showing the cost breakdown. Now this purchase price is contingent on two things happening. 1)- We find a partner for you to buy the upper suite for approximately $703,637. 2)- That both partners qualify as a 1st time buyer. Let me know if you or someone you know is interested in living in Royal Bay, and putting down roots into the Community there. https://portal.onehome.com/en-CA/share/1186045m17990
