Another cluster of tall buildings is poised to rise in Victoria West after city council issued development permits for two Saghalie Road condo projects at Thursday's committee-of-the-whole meeting.
Bayview Properties Ltd. plans to build 144 units in three buildings on two large lots in the Songhees - a 13-storey and 11-storey tower plus a five-storey building that includes two floors of gymnasium and "amenity space."

144 units in three buildings
Those must be some big units
Astoria has like 165 units in a single 19 floor building

I was walking through Chinatown yesterday looking across at Shutters and the cranes for Bayview and I was thinking you know if I didn't know better I would think there would be some reason to walk over there. I wonder how Tourists of the future will be fooled.

The paper messed up once again. It's 144 units in the first building at 10-storeys, not 11 or 13. Phases II and III will have the 11 and 13-storey buildings.
To consider three buildings as one and not even mention how tall the first building will be is sloppy reporting. And judging by the councillor chosen for the quote of the day I have a feeling that this article was written this way for a reason.
Btw, this 10-storey building will be virtually identical in height to the 11-storey building sitting across the street -- the one designed by Arthur Erickson in the 60's. Yup, it's the same Erickson who recently came back to Victoria to badmouth tall, prominent buildings along the harbour and who later received accolades from Councillor Madoff for his comments. Oh yeah, and that's the same Erickson who is now designing the 12-storey condo atop Triangle Mountain :roll:

I was up at Triangle Mountain a few weeks ago. I'd never been there before in my life. There's still real forest on that mountain.

Instead she's going to wait until its built and use it as an example of the pending apocalypse. She'll milk Songhees Hilltop endlessly in an attempt to turn some development promoters into haters and squash Marish's attempts at building something impressive from a clean slate at The Roundhouse property. And the media will love her for it.

Something like Shoal Point would also be pretty neat up on the hill there.
A good behemoth is better than a bad highrise.

What sort of 1990s behemoth are we talking about? Something like the Metropolitan? If it's something like the Metropolitan but with higher end materials and details and such then it won't be so bad. It'll be better than the Metropolitan.
Nothing specific to Victoria, just an era of design. I'm more concerned about the stye, with modern highrises (late 90s+) having substantially more glass than wall. That's not the case with Hilltop.
A good behemoth is better than a bad highrise.
I'd say that'd make them on par.

Insane!
Just to give some of you who don't think in prices per square foot, The Falls is $650 per square foot and Dockside's latest phase is $550.
Good luck to them cuz they're going to need it.
