Hawthorne Corner - Nanaimo, BC

Hawthorne Corner is a 78-unit condominium and mixed-use development at 1406 Jingle Pot Road in Nanaimo’s University District. Built in four phases between 2007 and 2009, the community combines nine residential buildings with street-level commercial space. InSight Holdings developed the project, which was designed around loft-style flats, private entrances, patios or balconies, landscaped pedestrian paths, and shared village-style spaces. Its setting near Vancouver Island University, city recreation facilities, and Buttertubs Marsh gives residents access to education, recreation, transit, and outdoor amenities without being a 55+ age-restricted community.
