About the building
Skygate is a pioneering six-storey, net-zero energy ready condominium development located in the heart of Langford's City Gate district. Completed in 2023, the building is Built Green Platinum certified and designed to be 74% more energy-efficient than standard BC building codes, featuring triple-pane windows, LED lighting, and high-efficiency heat pumps for heating and cooling. Residents enjoy a sophisticated lifestyle with access to extensive amenities, including a 360-degree rooftop terrace, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a dog run, community gardens, and on-site EV charging stations.
Sky Gate was developed by Highstreet Ventures as a multi-phase community in the 2400 block of Gateway Road between City Gate Boulevard and McCallum Road, marketed as entry-level homes built to Built Green standards and BC Energy Step Code 4, with solar-powered common areas. The six-storey wood-frame buildings hold one- and two-bedroom homes in five floor plans with luxury vinyl plank floors and quartz counters; a typical one-bedroom is about 665 square feet with one parking stall and a storage room. Parking is a mix of underground and surface.
Shared amenities include a community lounge and bike storage alongside the rooftop patio, gym, garden and dog run. Confirm pet bylaws with the strata, and note that listings show the address as 2461 Gateway Road. Millstream Village, Costco and the Trans-Canada Highway are a few minutes away, with Florence Lake and Thetis Lake Regional Park close by.
About Florence Lake
Florence Lake is an MLS sub-area in the north of Langford around the lake of the same name, between Millstream Road and Florence Lake Road near the Trans-Canada Highway. The lake is one of three in Langford stocked with trout, and the Strachan Trail circles its shore; Mill Hill Regional Park rises to the east and Thetis Lake Regional Park is just across the highway. The boundary is not published, so listings in this sub-area generally sit on the roads around the lake and up toward Bear Mountain Parkway.
Housing is varied. Hidden Valley on Florence Lake Road is a long-established manufactured-home community that produces some of the lowest-priced strata listings in Greater Victoria, and the surrounding streets hold detached homes, newer townhouses and a few small condominium buildings. Millstream Village and the Costco and Home Depot stores on Millstream Road are the nearest shopping, and the Langford core is five minutes by car. Highway access is immediate, which makes the drive downtown about twenty minutes, and Langford Exchange and the Route 95 RapidBus are a short drive south.
