501 Prideaux Street Residential Development
A modern take on traditional townhomes, designed to fit seamlessly into Nanaimo’s historic Old City.
The 501 Prideaux Street Residential Development reimagines multi-family living in the heart of Nanaimo’s Old City. Built on a challenging, irregular lot, the design carefully balances efficiency, livability, and aesthetic appeal to deliver 21 thoughtfully arranged homes.
The project integrates screened parking, shared outdoor spaces, and a pedestrian-friendly layout to foster a community-oriented lifestyle. Its sculpted massing and generous glazing bring natural light into each residence, while a warm material palette creates a sense of comfort and timelessness.
By merging contemporary design with the surrounding historic architecture, this development creates a vibrant and connected community that reflects the character of Nanaimo’s Old City while meeting the city’s modern housing needs.
