BREAKING NEWS: Work Put on Hold or Slowing Down at the Onni Grove at Victoria Hill New Westminster Real Estate Development Project according to Beau Jarvis, VP of Marketing
Jarvis said four of the nine buildings in The Grove New Westminster real estate development at Victoria Hill neighbourhood, a master planned community, have been completed and are occupied. Onni Group of Companies is the developer and has no plan to proceed on the remaining Victoria Hill condo buildings in The Grove in New Westminster at this time. "Certainly the [real estate] market has changed. I don't think it is a secret," Jarvis said. "Consumer confidence is low right now. Credit criteria has changed, lending criteria has changed." Beau Jarvis said those issues have created the "perfect storm" that has led to the decisions being made regarding Victoria Hill in the New Westminster real estate market. "We are waiting to see when they stabilize," he said. "We will move forward." Jarvis said Onni Developers would like to have been further along with the Victoria Hill Grove condominium development than it is but has been delayed in getting the project through city hall and getting the required approvals.

The B.C. Buildings Corporation, which previously owned the site, worked on a public process and development of a master plan for the site with the City of New Westminster. Onni Developers later bought the site from the province. Lisa Spitale, the city's director of development services, said staff had a lot of work to do on the development agreement to ensure it satisfied the principles that the community had supported during the public process. She isn't surprised that some components of the Grove at Victoria Hill New Westminster real estate development are being delayed because the New West condo project was always viewed as being real estate market-driven. "Not surprising when you look at what is going on," she said of the construction slowdown. "It's to be expected. The big question for everyone is how long will it take before it resumes."

Spitale said some property developers who were talking to city officials about potential New Westminster condo developments a few months ago have decided not to pursue projects at this time. "It is pretty consistent when you talk to other municipalities as well," she said. When the economy picks up and work proceeds at the Grove at Victoria Hill, Spitale said it will continue to follow the master plan. She said there is still a phasing schedule and still a logic to the development and the way it will unfold. "The message from the city is the city's expectation is that at the end of the day that community is going to be built out as per the obligations," she said. "The developer has front-ended the community amenities. In the near future those will be done." In addition to providing infrastructure for the Victoria Hill Grove condominium development, Onni has also done work on the front lawn, trail and open spaces that were to be provided in Victoria Hill. "Most of that work is close to completion," Spitale said.

In the summer of 2008, the Centre Block, part of the former Woodlands School, burned down. Vagrants had been going into the building, using it as a place to sleep and to steal and sort stolen metal and merchandise. "We have gone through the whole site with the city," Jarvis said about security concerns. "We have come up with some safety (initiatives)."
