Starlight Investments has opened the first two residential buildings at The District, a new purpose-built rental community in Langford, B.C.

The buildings — The Gallery and The Exchange — add 256 rental homes to the rapidly growing Vancouver Island community. When fully completed later this year, The District will include 597 suites across four residential buildings.

Developed by Starlight, the project is designed as a master-planned neighbourhood combining rental apartments, amenities, green space and future commercial uses within a walkable, transit-connected area.

“Delivering the initial residences at The District reflects our ongoing commitment to meaningfully increasing new housing supply in growing communities across British Columbia,” said David Woo, Starlight’s vice-president of development for Western Canada. “As demand for attainable, long-term rental homes continues to grow, we are proud to be introducing thoughtfully designed suites and community-focused amenities in the heart of Langford.”

Suites at The District include studio, one- and two-bedroom layouts with private balconies or patios, in-suite laundry, air conditioning and energy-efficient appliances. Buildings also feature smart home technology such as smart thermostats and keyless entry.

Once the community is complete, residents will have access to amenities, including fitness and wellness spaces, co-working areas, social lounges and rooftop terraces.

The development is located near Florence Lake and within easy access of shops and services in Langford and the Westshore, including Belmont Market and Westshore Town Centre, with downtown Victoria, B.C., about 20 minutes away.

“Over the past year, Starlight has announced the completion of over 500 new rental homes across Vancouver Island, with a development pipeline positioned to deliver thousands of purpose-built rental suites across Canada in the decade ahead,” added Woo.

Toronto-based Starlight owns, develops and manages more than 70,000 multi-residential suites and over 7 million square feet of commercial property globally, with approximately $30 billion in assets under management.
