The New Social Heart of Carey

Mateah is a mixed-use development by Mike Geric Construction coming soon to Saanich’s Carey neighbourhood. It consists of three mid-rise buildings providing 213 condominiums, 19 market and 19 below-market rental apartments, 11,129 sq ft of light industrial space, 17,174 sq ft of retail/commercial space, and a non-profit daycare centre. The north and south buildings are separated by a landscaped public walkway that extends from a gateway plaza on Glanford Avenue to a lower terrace that opens onto Enterprise Crescent. An elevated “catwalk” also leads from the upper plaza to a stand-alone elevator in the centre of the property, providing alternative accessibility to the lower terrace. Public amenities also include rain gardens, green spaces, seating areas, and a multi-use trail.

Mateah’s central Saanich location brings services, shopping, recreation, and dining within walking and cycling distance. Royal Oak Shopping Centre, only a 10-minute walk away, offers a Country Grocer, Cobs Bread, Shoppers Drug Mart, Dollar$tore, Bosley’s pet supply, and a medical clinic. Nearby Saanich Commonwealth Place provides year-round recreational amenities — competition pool, dive tank, sauna & steam room, weight room, dance studio, gymnasium — and a Greater Victoria Public Library branch. For Camosun College faculty, staff, and students living at Mateah, home is within a 10-minute bike ride. In addition to resident electric share bikes and cars, you can access public transit along Glanford Avenue and at the Royal Oak Exchange.
