New signage has popped up at the Colwood Corners development and it says the property is going to be home to a Save-On-Foods.
In May 2019, Colwood Corners developers Onni Group said the development should achieve occupancy by 2021 in phase one of the project.
Signs on the outside of the construction site advertise a Save-On-Foods opening at the development.

There are also supposed to be overall improvements to the pedestrian environment around the development such as areas with benches, landscaping, lighting, outdoor open space, a children’s play area, connections to the Galloping Goose Trail and enhancements to the existing London Drugs building.
A new affordable housing development that would be the tallest mass timber building on Vancouver Island may also come to the Colwood Corners area. The proposed development would have 100 affordable housing rental units as well as 15 storeys, replacing its current four.
