The Tsawwassen Springs development could get a bit bigger. Shato Holdings owner Ron Toigo has purchased an adjacent property at 4800 Springs Boulevard with the intent of taking most of it out of the Agricultural Land Reserve to build 60 townhomes.
The 2.5-hectare (6.3-acre) parcel was owned by another individual when the original Tsawwassen Springs application was put forward a few years ago and that other owner wasn’t interested in selling at the time.
Developed by Talisman Homes and Shato Holdings, Tsawwassen Springs will include almost 500 housing units, from condos to single-family homes, when all phases are completed in 2018. The project also features an 18-hole golf course, banquet facilities, Pat Quinn’s Restaurant & Bar and other amenities.
The proposal for the adjacent property at the west end of Tsawwassen Springs would see townhomes built on two-thirds of the site, which would have to be pulled out of the ALR, while the remainder of the parcel would remain in the land reserve and become part of the golf course.
