Innovative development means questioning assumptions and seeing possibility in locations that have been overlooked. Case in point: the former works yard at Esquimalt Road and Park Place is now at the heart of Esquimalt’s next chapter. With a balance of residential, commercial and civic spaces, this renewed public square will be central to the community’s identity—and shared sense of pride—for generations to come.
Diversity yields more vibrant, healthier communities—and that starts with including a range of voices in the planning process. Time and again, we’ve seen how collaborating with local municipalities produces the best outcome for everyone: plans that truly reflect the needs of the local residents.
Embracing diversity also means pushing the principles of mixed-use development further. At Aragon, we consider diverse types of housing that meet the needs of individuals and families at different stages of life. We include spaces for living and working but also for shopping, learning, relaxing, collaborating, meeting and sharing.

The entire community is heated and cooled through renewable geothermal energy, which saves both money and the environment. Compared to traditional heating, this state-of-the-art system cuts energy costs by 20–50%. It’s an environmentally responsible alternative that doesn’t generate waste or require the burning of any fossil fuels.
It also offers superior comfort—without any loud mechanical systems outside or on the roof. While many builders using geothermal sell the system to the local utility (which charges the strata to use it), our system is owned by the community, which benefits the homeowners.
