Nestled in a picturesque enclave on the West Shore, Quarry Villas offers the perfect balance of coastal beauty and modern convenience—whether you're starting your day with a hike through forested trails or enjoying a leisurely seven-minute stroll to the beach, where stunning views of the Olympic Mountains await; after all, it's only a seven-minute walk from your new European-inspired home.

Quarry Villas is the newest neighbourhood in Royal Bay's master-planned community at Royal Bay. On the West Shore in a premier enclave, the new development is conveniently situated 30 minutes from downtown Victoria in the heart of the dynamic City of Colwood. You'll experience oceanside living with thoughtful single-level strata living in contemporary two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex and triplex rancher-style homes.

"It's rare to find a rancher in Victoria's real estate market," says Sara Park, marketing director, PCRE Group. "We've offered a series of these unique one-level homes before and they were extremely popular, so we're very excited to share this exclusive collection of 19 modern residences of exceptional value with prospective homebuyers."

Turn your attention from the beach and the 1.3 kilometres of impressive shoreline along the Juan De Fuca Strait, and you'll see how Quarry Villas continues to captivate, with accessibility to further outdoor and urban amenities.

Accessible community amenities

Within the Quarry community, you'll find plenty of green space to enjoy with neighbors, friends, and family. Explore lush community gardens, relax on nearby benches, or take advantage of the new Quarry Park, which will feature a large playground, a planned sports field, and an active recreation area. Plus, a new 500-student elementary school will be just a short walk away.

More recreation is just a five-minute drive, where you can tee up for a round at Olympic View Golf Club, renowned for its signature 17th hole, with a 12-metre-high waterfall framing the green.

An easy and convenient 10-minute walk lands you at The Commons retail village, a complete community hub for your everyday needs. From shopping and dining to professional services, you'll find Quality Foods, Cascadia Liquor, Starbucks, Noodlebox, Pure Integrative Pharmacy, Next Level Childcare, and more, right at your fingertips.

"Essentially, Quarry Villas has everything within walking distance, so you don't need to get in your car if you don't want to," reveals Park. "The City of Colwood is doing some amazing things for arts and culture, too, like the new Royal BC Museum Collections & Research attraction, planned for The Commons."

Functional inviting interiors

Inspired by the area's natural coastal beauty, Quarry Villas have been infused with a contemporary, West Coast aesthetic by design partners Cascadia Architects, award-winning Proscenium Architecture + Interiors Inc., and LADR Landscape Architects, who all carry an established reputation for creating high-quality living experiences.

Designed to elevate your daily life, the craftsmanship is evident in the details and function amid the stylish open-concept living spaces. Dreamy kitchens with abundant counter space transition seamlessly to a dining area that flows out to your patio and small yard.

Select from a natural soothing palette of two colour schemes to customize your interior. "As well, residents have a series of options to choose from, for example, a pot filler, wine fridge, recessed lighting, or engineered hardwood, just to name a few," explains Park. "The double attached garage provides secure parking for two vehicles, and there's an upgrade opportunity for an EV charging connection."

Quarry Villas is a cohesive, inclusive and safe community that offers it all — a prime opportunity for all types of homebuyers, especially for those looking to downsize and age-in-place.

"We have a home for everybody and a price point for everybody," says Park. "Everything is just so easy and accessible. We've built an incredible community with a very high standard for quality, and product types for every individual to ensure that we keep our homes attainable."
