The development also offers a wide expanse of amenities and services, including a yoga
studio, cooking theatre, makers workshop, and much more to come. The village was
purpose-built to create a vibrant community and facilitate an active and engaged lifestyle,
and is actively managed and maintained to make life easy for owners. The vision at every
stage of the design and development was to create a space where “friends and family can
come together to live, learn and play,” Emily says.
The origins of that vision date back to 2007, when Randy Foyer purchased the property in
Colwood and had the idea for a village where people could live “a full and healthy lifestyle.”
He was drawn in by the beautiful landscape, and also by the proximity to Royal Roads
University, which is a progressive institution that is particularly focused on further education
and continuing studies. He thought it was a perfect setting for his community vision, one that
would particularly appeal to the coming generation of downsizers.
“Everything
here was built
and designed
to deliver
a lifestyle
focused on
community and
engagement.”
