Jawl Properties is seeking a rezoning at 1101 Yates Street, Victoria, for a 175-unit mixed-use development across two buildings of six and 19 storeys, on the current Audi Autohaus site at the corner of Yates and Cook Streets. Victoria Buzz reported the unit count and building heights (victoriabuzz.com). Council is asked to give first, second, and third readings to the Zoning Regulation Bylaw Amendment and to authorize issuance of a Development Permit with Variances at its May 7, 2026 meeting.
Two letters of opposition were received, raising concerns about height, view loss, parking, traffic, and lack of genuine affordability. The correspondence volume is thin for a project of this scale, which may reflect the property’s location in the Cook Street corridor, where high-density development is already well established. Avison Young’s listing for the parcel notes six other high-density sites in various stages of planning or construction within immediate walking distance (avisonyoung.ca).
If council proceeds with first reading on May 7, a public hearing would likely be scheduled in June or July 2026. Third reading and development permit authorization could follow the same meeting, putting a building permit submission within reach in late 2026.
A rezoning application for 1101 Yates Street in Victoria is scheduled for consideration on May 7, 2026. The applicant, DAUstudio, proposes to amend the property’s zoning designation. No outcome has been reported at this time.
