Public Realm & Site Design
The proposed design for Nook and Node places a strong emphasis on the public realm and pedestrian experience. The corner frontage will be improved with:
- A new bike lane, sidewalk, and tree-lined boulevard planted with Garry oaks along McKenzie Avenue
- High-quality landscaping that softens the building edge and enhances the pedestrian realm
- A new bus pullout to support smoother traffic flow along Saanich Road
Landscaping and integrated stormwater collection are planned throughout the site to support Swan Lake’s watershed health and create an attractive streetscape year-round.
At this prominent corner, the building and frontage are designed to provide clearer sightlines and safer, more intuitive movement for people walking, biking, taking transit, and driving, while contributing positively to the character of the Quadra–McKenzie area.
Neighbourhood & Connections
Just a short walk from Nook and Node is the Quadra–McKenzie commercial area, including Saanich Centre and surrounding shops and services. Here, daily needs can be met on foot with a full-service grocery store, pharmacy, cafés, restaurants, banking, and personal services all clustered together.
Nearby Bus routes such as the 26 (Dockyard–UVic) offer buses approximately every 15 minutes on weekdays, with stops right out front the building.
In Saanich’s long-term planning, the Quadra–McKenzie Centre is identified as a local hub for new homes, jobs, and services, supported by improved walking and cycling routes and frequent transit. As these plans are implemented over time, the area is expected to see gradual upgrades to streets, transit, and public spaces, strengthening its role as a complete, connected neighbourhood.
From Nook and Node, residents will be well positioned to benefit from this evolution: close enough to enjoy the convenience of the centre, while still being a short walk from established residential streets, parks, and natural areas.
