Coast Waterfront Residences in Sidney

The Coast Site and Building Plan

GMC began design work on the site in 2019. Its first concept was five storeys and 140 homes, and after community feedback it was cut back to three storeys and 97 homes. As reported when the application went to council, the 49 apartments were to include 18 one-bedroom, 17 two-bedroom and 14 three-bedroom homes, with a commercial unit of about 140 square metres at street level. As part of the approval, the developer agreed to contribute about $167,800 toward park acquisition and improvements in Sidney.

Approved counts can shift as a design is finalized, so check the number of strata lots in the disclosure statement rather than relying on figures in marketing or listings.

Coast Floor Plans and Amenities

The Tidal and Leeward collections cover one-, two- and three-bedroom plans. MLS listings in late October 2026 ran from a one-bedroom of 646 sq ft to a three-bedroom of 2,094 sq ft, so the building spans compact homes and very large ones. The developer's planned shared spaces are:

• A rooftop patio over the sea with an outdoor kitchen, firepits, gardens and a bocce court
• A resident library
• Kayaks for residents
• A waterfront lobby and lounge

GMC has not posted a detailed specification sheet. MLS details for one home mention an underground stall with a roughed-in EV charger and a storage locker, but confirm what is included with the home you choose.

Living on the Sidney Waterfront

At Tulista Park, the Town lists a playground, a skate park with an enclosed bowl, a boat launch, a sand volleyball court, a bookable covered picnic shelter, accessible washrooms and the ArtSea Gallery, along with a section of the Waterfront Walkway. The developer also points to Iroquois Park, describing the two parks together as offering tree-lined paths, lawns and space for tennis, pickleball, volleyball and soccer, and to the Lochside Trail, a greenway linking Sidney with the rest of the Saanich Peninsula.

It highlights how close the site is to the shops, restaurants and galleries of Beacon Avenue, Sidney's main street, and to Victoria International Airport. Public schools are run by the Saanich School District (SD 63), which covers the Saanich Peninsula and includes Sidney Elementary; check catchments with the district.

Buying a Presale at Coast Waterfront Residences

Buying here means signing for a home that has not been built. BC's Real Estate Development Marketing Act requires the developer to give you a disclosure statement before you enter the agreement, and the developer's website notes that no offering can be made without one. You then have seven days to cancel by written notice, counted from the later of the agreement date and the date the developer receives your written receipt for the statement.

• Deposits: they are held in trust in BC by a brokerage, lawyer or notary, and can be released to the developer only where it has authorized deposit insurance.
• Completion: the disclosure statement gives an estimated date. Presale timelines can move, so read the delay terms and plan your financing with some slack.
• Assigning your contract: it needs the developer's consent, if assignments are allowed at all, and each one is reported to the provincial Condo and Strata Assignment Integrity Register. BC's home flipping tax may apply if you held the contract less than 730 days.
• GST: it generally applies when you buy a new home from the developer. First-time buyers should check current federal and BC rebates with an advisor.
• 2-5-10 warranty: BC requires warranty insurance on new homes from licensed builders: two years on labour and materials (some limits apply), five years on the building envelope and 10 years on the structure.

The bylaws filed with the disclosure statement set the first rules on pets and rentals, and the first-year strata budget is only an estimate.

Coast Prices and Other Sidney Condos

As of late October 2026 there were four active MLS listings at 9522 Lochside Drive: a one-bedroom of 646 sq ft asking $700,000, a two-bedroom of 1,021 sq ft asking $1,000,000, and two three-bedroom homes of about 1,521 to 2,094 sq ft asking $2,075,000 and $2,625,000. Asking prices change daily, so treat these as a snapshot and ask whether GST is included in any price you are quoted.
