Victoria’s tallest building to rise above Vic West
By Mike Kozakowski, VibrantVictoria.ca
http://vibrantvictor...above-vic-west/
After nearly five solid decades of holding the venerable title as Victoria’s tallest building, the 62 meter tall, 22-storey Orchard House in James Bay will slip to second place as a new residential tower proposal in Vic West moves from concept to reality.
Bayview Properties and its newly-introduced partner Bosa Properties confirm plans for a 21-storey, 66.3 meter tall residential tower perched above Vic West as phase two of the Bayview project (see Bayview One for information on the first phase).
“Unit ceiling heights will be in excess of 9 feet making the 21-storey tower the tallest in Victoria,” said Vania Wong of Bosa Properties, adding that project marketing is expected to begin within several months and be in full swing by summer of 2011. Rennie Marketing Systems of Vancouver is charged with the sales and marketing of the tower. [Read more]

Mike: do you know if there are plans for first-floor commercial in the new tower? One complaint I heard about the original Bayview Tower is its lack of proximity to retail/restaurant space (aside from the convenience store at the Shell Gas Station @ Tyee/Esquimalt). This is partially aggrivated by the development's road/sidewalk layout.

A nice tall building is cool and impressive, but this neighbourhood has done pretty much everything wrong from day 1. But I'd love to be proved wrong and this development to change things. Even some townhouses that met the street in some way would be great. Anything but huge driveways and setbacks. We need more Corizons and less regents parks.

As far as commercial space, Bayview (the hilltop) will be all residential (although a while back there was talk of having something like a coffee shop along the ground floor of one of the buildings) with the development's commercial node will be built at the Roundhouse. Roundhouse will have a full range of commercial services less than a minute from the Bayview towers.

So they are approved for 68 metres and are going only 66 metres? Perhaps they could change the lay out a bit or some ceiling heights and put a restaurant on the top floor. The view from there would be absolutely mind blowing.

G-man, the average height of the building is 66.3 meters, so conceivably there may be one part of the foundation that sits a couple of meters lower totaling 68 meters.

As most probably know I am not against height. I am against the tallest building in Victoria being built on a tall rock and the city not getting anything out of it.
I want more. I want more than a glassy version of the Astoria and I want more than a elevator housing on top of this building. Given the visibility of this building for the next 100 years I want something that when people see it in a picture they say "That's Victoria!"
I am open to any suggestions but something needs to be done to this building to make it different, to make it special and to make it an icon.
Imagine a version of the Gherkin. Or a modern take on the spire of the Chrysler Building. Perhaps a green glass dome or observation deck. But as it is now I don't accept it and hope that the Design Panel takes them to task on this point.

Some people will make a stink about the height of this tower and they may have a point. For me it's a fine line. If this tower were four stories shorter then I'd say there's no height issue whatsoever. Victorians always worry about height but height has turned out not to be a problem in every instance since 1970 or so, which leads me to expect it won't be a problem here. But you never know, maybe one time we'll actually look at the finished product and wonder if it should have been a bit shorter.
If we're going to choose our battles then I'd say wait a few years and let Vic West get some momentum back, then get all finicky about the Roundhouse.
