Thoughtful Design, Stronger Communities
Building Homes For People
To ease the housing crisis, the B.C. Government’s new housing plan aims to speed up the delivery of new homes and increase much needed middle-income housing supply. Two key strategies to bring more homes to the community are to streamline the permit process for quicker building approvals and to make changes to zoning regulations to allow the building of more multi-unit housing. LIDA Developments is working closely with Colwood to create housing that aligns with community goals.
At LIDA Developments, we prioritize thoughtful integration of our homes within the communities we build. We carefully consider factors such as architectural design that harmonizes with the existing landscape, amenities that enhance residents’ quality of life, and sustainable features that contribute positively to the environment. Our goal is to create developments that not only provide comfortable living spaces but also enrich the surrounding community with long-term benefits.

Smart Growth
Colwood, BC
The municipality of Colwood is transitioning the community by introducing higher-density housing in the area proposed for our project to accommodate a growing population and the increasing demand for housing. Their growth plan aims to strategically focus development to support mobility, environmental protection, and quality of life while placing residents closer to amenities and services, encouraging walking, cycling, and transit use.
