I suppose I should have seen it coming. The renderings had always shown the subsequent phases.

I guess my offer at $4,975,000 less than this was not accepted.

The penthouse will probably be online longer at this web property.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by that?

Maybe worth the 6-years bump:
Stumbled on an article noting the owners' struggles in this building with insurance premium spikes... sounds like they got hit spectacularly hard.

Les Leyne: Insurance jump for Victoria condo building: $817,000 from $265,000
The Shoal Point condominium complex on Dallas Road appears to be the worst local example so far of the runaway premium hikes.
It cost $265,000 to insure the luxury harbourside building in James Bay last year. This year, the bill is $817,000, according to a resident with knowledge of the issue. There are more than 150 units in the 20-year-old complex and the resident’s condo fee is going up 44% this year to more than $1,000 a month in order to cover the extra costs.
As well, the deductible for water damage — which is the main driver of the crisis — is going to $500,000 from $25,000

Quite a few units have come on the market in the past few months. Some luxury ones like Foster's but mostly regular-folks units at what seem to be reasonable prices. Reasonable until you find out about the massive insurance hike in this complex.

There are 16 units on the market listed at MLS, that's over 10% of the units. Wow. Not the right time to sell condos with strata fees nearing $1/sqft, though...

The strata fees are high, but on the other hand, most buildings don't have a putting green, pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, gym, and concierge.

True that, but in the face of a once-in-a-generation economic crisis there won't be as many people looking for these amenities.

units here range from $609k to three listed for over $6.5m.

The very things that have caused their insurance costs to go through the roof.

I believe the penthouse suite, which is still likely to be the home of the developer's widow, had a koi pond at one point within the solarium. Last I attended a function there it had been drained, and that was several years ago.

Probably not, actually. Water leak claims are most likely from internal unit updates being done (someone drills into a pipe...) or water ingress from outside.

Yeah, I don't think the pool and hot tub in the "basement" have anything to do with flooding in units.

David Butterfield's residence is now for sale, and on the market for the first time since the late developer and his wife moved in upon the project's completion circa 2000 or 2001 (Shoal Point was completed in phases through 2005).
This truly is one of Victoria's most breathtaking residences, and I had the fortune to visit this home one evening several years back. When viewing the photos you'll see a glass-encased component of the atrium floor. That was once a koi pond.

Only 2 bedrooms?

Yes, formally the master and a guest.
But that's not to say you can't convert some of the other spaces into bedrooms.
