Promontory | 21-storeys; 66.3m | Residential

Return to the Construction Projects list.

Promontory is the second building of Bayview Properties’ and Bosa Properties’ multi-phased redevelopment of Vic West’s Songhees neighbourhood’s hilltop area perched atop an old helipad site.  Promontory will become the City of Victoria’s tallest building, eclipsing the 22-storey, 62-meter Orchard House by some four meters.

The first phase of the project, Bayview One, saw the completion of an 11-storey luxury condo with several lowrise buildings.  A third residential tower, at 17-storeys, will accompany Promontory and Bayview One upon build-out.

In late 2008 Bayview Properties won approval from council for an increase in height for Promontory and tower III to 21- and 17-storeys, respectively, from initial plans for 13- and 11-storeys.

In early 2011 Bosa Properties of Vancouver partnered with Bayview Properties to build the remainder of the Bayview project and the neighbouring Roundhouse property.

This project was originally called Songhees Hilltop before being re-branded as Bayview.

Quote: I was down by the site today and the information I received from one of the construction workers was:

They have about 25 feet left to go.

It will be about 2 more months (6 weeks of blasting and excavating and 2 weeks of cleaning the site up)

The bottom of the elevator shaft will sit 8 feet above sea level.

It is going to be one big hole when they are done......


I've heard once they get out of ground it will go one story per week for the concrete structure....that will be exciting.

Marko's candid take on the Promontory project compared to other condo offerings throughout the city.

Quote: Condo Review: Bayview Promontory
By Marko Juras, VibrantVictoria.ca
http://vibrantvictoria.ca/local-news/condo-review-bayview-promontory/

Excerpt
Bayview Promontory, a 21-storey contemporary building located in Vic West’s Songhees neighbourhood, is described by developer Bosa Properties as “the new beacon in Victoria’s Inner Harbour,” a fitting title considering the building will become Victoria’s tallest upon completion. Promontory offers 177 units with a wide array of varying condo sizes and prices not typically seen in Victoria. Units are priced from $199,900 for Jr. one bedrooms all the way to penthouses valued in excess of $2-million (coincidentally both have already sold). Currently Promontory is under construction with an anticipated completion date of April 30th, 2014. On the publication date of this article, approximately 100 of the 177 units have been sold.

Parking: At the Promontory there are 199 parking spots assigned to 177 units: every unit has at least one parking spot and in addition each comes with a bicycle storage locker. The underground parking also features emergency alert buttons for added safety. Additional parking was available initially for $12,000 per spot, however, remaining spots are being withheld by the developer for release at a later date. There are 22 visitor parking spots as well as street parking on Saghalie Road and Kimta Road. Read the full review>

I guess this gives Bosa an easy out for not completing on time, since according to all calendars I know, April only has 30 days...unless this is some sort of new semi-leap year of which I am not aware.;)
