TELUS LIVING Nanaimo

TELUS has partnered with Omicron to develop a 2.75-acre lot at 400 Fitzwilliam Street, currently home to TELUS’ Central Office in Nanaimo, BC. On Behalf of TELUS, Omicron has filed a Subdivision application and a Development Permit application, with height variance request, to build new market rental homes, to be known as TELUS LIVING Nanaimo, on the vacant portion of the land.

The development will add 195 new rental homes within easy walking distance of Nanaimo’s vibrant downtown harbourfront and historic uptown neighbourhoods. TELUS LIVING Nanaimo consists of two six-storey buildings woven together by a comprehensive landscape and public realm strategy to beautify and animate the development’s three public street frontages at Wallace, Wentworth and Richards Street.

TELUS LIVING Nanaimo is designed to appeal to a wide cross-section of the community and will be differentiated by classic and contemporary exterior architecture, extensive landscaping, interiors inspired by nature, a variety of unit types and sizes, accessible and adaptable age-in-place units, extensive indoor and outdoor workspaces and amenity spaces, integrated technology offerings, and a low environmental footprint. The project falls within the boundaries of the Downtown Urban Plan and aligns with the City of Nanaimo’s housing goals and the Community Sustainability Action Plan. It also represents a strategic investment in Nanaimo’s recovery and resiliency planning efforts.

Omicron is providing development management, design and construction services for the project, and TELUS will own the new development.
