Real Estate DEVELOPERS
Channel Ridge Properties - A few years ago, a group of Canadian individuals came together as an investment group, Channel Ridge Holdings Ltd., and purchased property on the north end of Salt Spring Island. This property has been designated for the development of a third village on the Island in the community's Official Community Plan.
Channel Ridge Properties' team has been active on Salt Spring Island, working closely with Islands Trust elected officials and staff, the members of the Trust's Advisory Design Panel and no less than 14 approving agencies and authorities, such as the local RCMP, the Fire Department, BC Ferries, Water Works and the Ministry of Transportation & Highways to create a Development Permit Application that complies with the Official Community Plan and reflects the technical requirements as well as the community's desires.
Much of our work has been listening to individuals and groups in the community and as part of that program, we are pleased to answer your inquiries. Contact info@channelridge.com.
Home ARCHITECTS
Rositch Hemphill & Associates - An award winning, mid-size Vancouver architecture firm which has received international recognition. Our goal at Channel Ridge is to "touch the land softly" by providing continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces, utilizing the site's topography to the fullest and promoting connectivity. Views will be captured from as many rooms as possible and we have designed interesting, open spaces that encourage and enhance social gatherings. The result is Classical West Coast... a timeless, 'gracious cottage'.
VILLAGE PLANNERS
Davidson Yuen Simpson Architects - Where the residences at Channel Ridge are secluded and quiet, the village is a hub. It is a place bustling with activity, yet in its open spaces there are many places to rest and enjoy the scenery. There will be boutiques and markets, but also a library, lounge and fitness centre. Streetscapes are pedestrian-oriented and community-minded, combining meeting places, amenities and plenty of green space.
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS
Vaughan Landscape Planning and Design - Flora and landscape give identity to a place and at Channel Ridge, you will find only indigenous plants. In this temperate, arid climate, grassy meadows and stands of Arbutus thrive. Recognizing that Channel Ridge is a small residential area nestled within the largest natural landscape still left on the Island, our emphasis is on keeping the footprint small. Roads are narrow. There are no curbs, nor streetlights. Our vision for Channel Ridge evokes the intimate feel of a small rural village.
