Yet another project Three Point Properties has given up on in the downtown area (Sawyer's Sewing is still in limbo).
Just a week ago there was lots of construction behind the existing house, I think it's still proceeding, maybe tht's an old listing.

Here's a heads up: in January we might see the Province approve five storey wood frame construction. If and when that happens, expect to see that new code applied here and at other projects.

This isn't a perspective view so the actual building will look somewhat different in real life.
This is the back of the building. It faces the side of the little strip mall behind Moxies.
This is the overall plan. Note the small suites with the suggested IKEA built-in furnishings:

Pretty small units with low ceilings and w/o much light, particularly if the stripmall ever gets rebuilt. I'm a little surprised that they've tried to cram this onto this lot, but I suppose if they can make them profitable, some cheap apartments are a good thing. In this case, I'd argue that a taller small building would have been better - it looks like the only design criteria was having the rooflines be the same.

Are there suites below grade? Or is that to be storage?
A previous design had underground parking but this version is completely above grade. There will be no parking for these units.
In this case, I'd argue that a taller small building would have been better - it looks like the only design criteria was having the rooflines be the same.
The neighbouring condo to the east is not thrilled with the proximity of this building. Making it taller would not make them happier. And the heritage planners at City Hall felt this building should be below the roofline of Bossi House.
The Mosaic building, a converted office project, has 11 foot ceilings and it makes all the difference. Those suites are also in the ~375 sq. ft. range. So, no, they will not be the sunniest buildings on the market.

I am not happy with the pink/brown colour of the bricks. That colour paint is being used too often in Victoria. My preference would have been restore the
old bricks to the original the way they have done to a building on Langley St.
Everything else looks so good, the brackets, the door frame all restored to look like the original. The widow's walk will likely go up soon.
