The Proxima

The Proxima — 1100 Esquimalt Road & 610 Lampson Street, Esquimalt

The Proxima is a two-building, 89-unit new construction condo development at the corner of Esquimalt Road and Lampson Street, anchoring the heart of Esquimalt Village. Completed in 2025, the project comprises the six-storey Adamo building fronting Esquimalt Road and the five-storey Bellus building on Lampson Street, connected by a glass atrium that opens onto a landscaped interior courtyard. Together the two wood-frame mid-rises deliver 84 condominiums and 5 townhomes, with floorplans ranging from compact 387 sq ft junior one-bedrooms to 1,590 sq ft three-bedroom townhomes — one of the broadest unit mixes in the Westshore-adjacent core.

The development is led by GT Mann Contracting, a multi-award-winning Vancouver Island builder known for meticulous detail and quality materials, with architecture by Victoria-based Studio PA (a LEED-accredited firm with a Certified Passive House Designer on staff) and interiors by Spaciz Design Company, a long-established Victoria studio with a distinctive, non-formulaic residential portfolio. Sales are directed by the Mark Rice Real Estate Group of Coldwell Banker Oceanside.

Interiors and finishes

Homes are finished in a choice of two designer palettes — the lighter Lumen scheme or a warmer alternative — and feature quartz countertops, ceramic tile backsplashes, matte black hardware, luxury vinyl plank flooring (with an engineered hardwood upgrade available), and either modern white Shaker or sleek grey flat-front cabinetry. Appliance packages include KitchenAid black stainless in standard units, with Fisher & Paykel upgrades in penthouses, plus Whirlpool washer/dryer. Most homes include a heat pump with cooling for year-round comfort, heated bathroom flooring, and electric fireplaces in select plans.

Amenities

• 1,500 sq ft fitness centre

The building is pet-friendly (cats, dogs, and small caged mammals permitted, subject to bylaws), allows propane or electric BBQs, and rentals.

Location and walkability

The Proxima sits at the centre of Esquimalt Village, one of Greater Victoria's most amenity-dense urban villages. Residents are a block from the Archie Browning Sports Centre (ice arena and six-sheet curling rink), four minutes' walk to Esquimalt Plaza (Country Grocer, Serious Coffee, Esquimalt Bake Shop, liquor store), and eight minutes to the Esquimalt Recreation Centre with its pool, gym, sauna and steam room. Bullen Park, Saxe Point Park, and Macaulay Point — with views across the Juan de Fuca Strait — are all within easy walking distance, and the Galloping Goose, E&N Rail Trail, and West Bay Marine Walkway converge nearby for car-free access from Sooke to North Saanich. Downtown Victoria is roughly a ten-minute drive or a direct bus ride.

Who it suits

With its unit mix and price range, The Proxima appeals to first-time buyers seeking an accessible entry point into Greater Victoria ownership, downsizers wanting lock-and-leave convenience in a walkable village, and investors drawn to the unrestricted rental bylaw and new-construction warranty coverage. The building's proximity to CFB Esquimalt (Naden) makes it particularly well-suited to military personnel and DND staff.
