Commercial
Esquimalt’s main commercial area is located along Esquimalt Road between Constance Avenue and Joffre Street. The town centre, consisting of the Municipal Hall and Town Square, is situated within this commercial zone.
Other neighbourhood commercial areas are:
- Head Street and Esquimalt Road intersection
- Tillicum and Craigflower Road intersection
- West Bay Harbour.
As there are numerous undeveloped or under-developed sites within these areas, no new commercial areas are being considered at this time.
The Township has also initiated planning for the Esquimalt Town Square - a proposed development adjacent to Municipal Hall.
