The Wing | 6-storeys | Residential

Return to the Construction Projects list.

No_renderingOriginally planned as a six-storey condominium residence, The Wing’s construction stalled after a lack of sales dried up project financing.  The Wing is now slated to become an affordable rental residence.

The building has sat empty for several years awaiting a buyer.  In 2009 the City of Victoria and the Province provided $9.5-million towards the purchase and completion of the building and conversion into affordable rental housing.

You pay extra for all that interior wall space to hang pictures. With only one 2' x 2' window in each unit, you get LOTS of wall-space. And you need to keep a TV on all the time for extra light, that explains complimentary cable.

The priciest unit in The Wing rents for $1750 per month. Wow.

How much does the priciest unit in Astoria rent for?

(I realize Astoria is a condo building but I'm just interested in what people might be renting their units for.)
