The City of Langford will see construction conclude on a major infusion of purpose-built rental homes this year with nearly 1,400 units slated for occupancy in 2026, according to Citified’s construction data.

 

The largest project is in the midst of wrapping up along the 1100-block of McCallum Road where just under 600 units across four buildings have been underway since 2022 at the hands of Toronto-based Starlight Investments. And just up Skirt Mountain from Starlight’s site is another major project, known as West Summit from Manitoba-based Ironclad Developments, where 246 rental units will be split between two buildings along the 2100-block of Bear Mountain Parkway. Work on West Summit began in 2024.

 

 

Collectively, the McCallum Road and Bear Mountain Parkway buildings will deliver nearly 850 new units, or 60% of Langford’s anticipated 2026 rental housing growth.

 

Some 550 additional units will hit the market or have already reached occupancy between Langford’s city centre, and north Langford in the Costco area.

 

 

 

Over the last decade, Citified's data shows the City of Langford as having added more than 4,350 rental units across the rental housing spectrum (comprised of market homes through to subsidized government-funded inventory), the largest per-capita increase in rentals of any municipality on southern Vancouver Island in that time.

 

By comparison, the City of Victoria, with a population about twice the size of Langford’s at the start of the 2020s, has delivered 5,320 rental units over the same period, according to Citified’s construction data. Saanich, the largest municipality by population in Greater Victoria and on Vancouver Island, has added a relatively small volume of 2,340 rental units, Citified's tracking shows.

 

Meanwhile, roughly 7,200 units of rental homes are under construction region-wide – including over 2,200 units in Victoria’s downtown core – representing a significant increase in rental housing on the south Island into the late 2020s.

 

Since the mid-2010s, Citified's industry-wide tracking has tallied the Capital's rental housing growth as having surpassed 16,000 modern rental units from Sooke to Sidney. C
