Cowichan Bay recently became the first community in North America to be designated as a Cittaslow community. A Cittaslow community is one that focuses on the quality of life for its neighbourhoods, people and environment by supporting growers that give us access to local foods, artisans who connect us to the community and knowing its neighbours. A Cittaslow community places the quality of life for all the people who live in it as its top priority. 

Park Place is such a neighbourhood and it too is all about quality of life. The developers of Park Place are area residents and supporters of Cittaslow initiatives. A recent survey by the CVRD Official Community Planning committee identified affordable (attainable) housing within Cowichan Bay as one of their biggest concerns. With a changing demographic and the ever increasing costs to build new housing, Park Place provides affordable quality homes to suit a variety of lifestyles. 

Well over half of the development site is dedicated as CVRD parkland hence the name Park Place. Award winning Cadillac Homes in its tradition will be finishing each home with a fully landscaped yard complete with automated sprinkler systems (one of the water conservation measures taken by the developers) and in doing so create an entire neighbourhood by design with beautiful streetscape. 

The development falls under the new Riparian Area Regulations meaning that great efforts have been made to ensure that Park Place is brought to the community in harmony with the environment. Using Oil-Water separators for storm water run-off are but one of ways that help to this end. 

Homes at Park Place have been designed for efficiency and economy without sacrificing quality and luxury detailing. The variety of floor plans offered will appeal to young families, retirees and professionals alike. The trend to “down size” one’s home is challenging with the high cost of a typical new home but it is who we expect to see here at Park Place. Quality of life also means having time and money to enjoy those things you like to do. 

Cowichan Bay is a great place to live and Park Place is ideally situated for easy access to all the amenities of the bay. All homes at Park Place are turn-key and are designed for ease of maintenance with a worry free warranty. Owning a new home at Park Place couldn’t be easier.
