Esquimalt Town Square

The Esquimalt Town Square refers to the parcel of land south and west of the existing Municipal Hall. The square is currently being redeveloped by Aragon Properties Ltd. 

Leading architectural firm D’AMBROSIO architecture + urbanism has designed a concept plan for the project that includes civic, residential and commercial uses. Esquimalt Town Square will feature a public square and a through-block art walk, as well as the proposed relocation of the Esquimalt Branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library.

The square will also include a number of sustainable and progressive initiatives including: 

  • alternative management methods for rainwater and energy;
  • bicycle and pedestrian-friendly spaces, with easy access to transit;
  • maintaining heritage trees on-site; and,
  • green building concepts in all buildings and infrastructure.
