The Sovereign | 11-storeys | Residential, commercial

Return to the Construction Projects list.

Chard Development’s fourth Victoria project (after Corazon, Juliet and The 834), dubbed The Sovereign, is situated in downtown Victoria’s old town district and will become the tallest building west of Douglas Street.

The original design featured extensive brickwork, a curved feature for the top two floors (originally the tower was to be 12-storeys tall) and potential uses as a residential and commercial development or a boutique hotel and commercial development.

The finalized design calls for 36 residential units and commercial space on the bottom floor.  Two automated car elevators, the first of its kind in Victoria, will be used for The Sovereign’s parking facilities.

Yeah, I think that's the last major rock they'll be blasting.

The excavation next to the existing buildings looks so cool. One might almost think this was a picture from Manhattan. :)

Yeah this site is just about as crowded as you can get in Vic.
