“Typical subdivisions have been designed with no soul — just roads, driveways and double-car garages leading into cookie-cutter 'caves'. These communities isolate people in islands of 'sameness.' I want to achieve more than that.”
Doug Bromage, Principal of InSight
Hawthorne — A Thriving Neighbourhood and Nature Sanctuary
Nanaimo living has never been so natural or so convenient. Whether you’re a busy family on the go or someone who enjoys the quieter side of life, Hawthorne was thoughtfully planned with you in mind. Schools, pools, sports fields, ice rinks and Vancouver Island University are all just a few blocks away, along with easy access to downtown shopping and the waterfront.There’s a sense of belonging here, an old-fashioned feeling of community. Tucked away in 56 acres of green space, framed by the majestic backdrop of Mount Benson, Hawthorne features tree-lined boulevards, roundabouts, spacious lots, beautifully built homes and winding pathways that connect to the Trans Canada Trail and nearby Buttertubs Marsh, a 78 acre nature sanctuary that will remain protected for life.
Housing lots at Hawthorne are carefully sited to maximize views and create a sense of openness and space. Both of the exclusive builders contracted at Hawthorne are professionals. Each is licensed by the B.C. Home Protection Office and is a member of either the Canadian Home Builders’ Association or the Urban Design Institute. So you can rest assured that Hawthorne homes meet the highest standards in quality.
Phase 1 has sold out and Phase 2 is close to complete with only a few custom homes and build-to-suit opportunities remaining.
