The subject properties are within Electoral Area A - Mill Bay/Malahat. They are within the Mill Bay Village and adjacent to the Mill Bay Marina. The site is next to Brentwood College to the north, Mill Bay Shopping Centre to the west, townhouses and Mill Bay Marina to the east, and properties with detached dwellings to the south. The site comprises seven parcels; six of which are currently occupied by older single detached dwellings. Six of the properties are currently zoned R-3, and one, 750 Handy Road, is zoned R-3A, which allows for parking and office use for the restaurant and marina at Mill Bay Marina.

A development is proposed to be built on the above properties, with a total site area of about 1.2 ha. It would include four blocks of 3-storey townhouses (22 units) and two 5-6 storey apartment buildings (122-139 units), along with an underground parkade, surface parking areas, a courtyard and landscaping throughout the site.

Frontage improvements are also being proposed or considered, such as new pedestrian paths along Handy Road and Mill Bay Road, and a pedestrian crossing of Mill Bay Road at Handy Road to connect to the adjacent Mill Bay Shopping Centre and the bus stop.
