A six-storey Gorge Waterway-view condominium under construction at the former location of Esquimalt’s Gorge Pointe Pub will reach occupancy by early spring, developer Abstract says, as brand new display home tours showcase the project’s refined finishings and quality workmanship.
Known as Central Block, the 99-suite mid-rise got underway in 2023 at 1075 Tillicum Road with a collection of junior one-bedroom through three-bedroom homes, and ground floor retail spaces suited to coffee shops or boutique cafés.
Situated along a key transit corridor connecting CFB Esquimalt to the University of Victoria via Tillicum Road and Esquimalt’s town centre, Central Block has generated significant interest among a wide spectrum of purchasers looking for an urban residence with water and parkland views, as well as walkability to nearby grocery, retail and recreational amenities.
Homebuyers are increasingly choosing urban communities in Victoria’s core that are not necessarily in busy, high density neighbourhoods, and are instead placing a greater emphasis on nearby parkland, outdoor recreation and views of natural spaces. Our purchasers have really resonated with Central Block’s location specifically for its immediate proximity to Esquimalt Gorge Park, the adjacent Gorge Waterway, and short walking distance to Gorge Vale Golf Course and a large retail plaza just across the Tillicum Road Bridge.

And in recent days, Abstract has started welcoming prospective buyers to display home tours on-site, to preview nearly finished product by-appointment.
