Return to the Construction Projects list.

The Falls is Westbank Corporation’s third condominium project in Victoria and the company’s first project in downtown Victoria. Westbank entered the Victoria condo market with Parc Residences in Vic West, followed by the Shutters Spa + Residences development in Vic West’s Songhees neighbourhood.

The Falls is split into two towers, the northwest tower at 18-storeys and the southeast tower at 13. The sloped ground floor will include 13,000 sq. feet of commercial space including an HSBC Bank branch and a yet unnamed restaurant operator. A cascading waterfall element originates on the top of the northwest tower and flows towards Fairfield, where it terminates on the corner of Douglas Street and Fairfield Road.

Remarks
On September 12, 2007, the south retaining walls with overhead walkways, scaffolding and the sidewalk fronting the development along Fairfield Road caved into the excavated pit as crews were working on the foundation. The cause behind the incident remains unknown.
