Finally, one of these puns actually lands. Took a few years.

Since they own the Mings lot as well, as you mentioned. They should consider creating a smaller scale version of what they’ve done with the Washington Convention Centre in Seattle - that way they could utilize the extra space over top of Quadra St that would otherwise remain unused. This would also create a gate into the heart of Harris Green to add a dramatic visual effect to the approach of their upcoming development in Harris Green Village where MoY and London drugs currently is.
I do realize that this idea is a little too forward thinking for much of the audience reading this - in fact it may seem crazy. But if Starlight was able to pull this off it would completely change the dynamics of the neighborhood and would catch a lot of media attention and architectural recognition.
Fremont Las Vegas would be a lot more fun

The larger of the two retail units here has been leased according to the listing here:

Is this the popular local brunch spot (potentially Floyd's) that was rumoured by someone on here before?

The gated midblock walkway spanning Johnson to Yates will be open during the day (7 to 10?). There were discussions as recently as last week about closing it 24/7 but sounds like City of Victoria wouldn't budge. The townhouse portions of this project all have ground levels facing this corridor.
already. before anyone even lives there they know there might be problems.

Come on. Everybody knows. The CoV seems to be the only player who (still) doesn't understand how these things work.
Do these shortcuts right or don't do them at all.

...before anyone even lives there they know there might be problems...
You'd have to be even more willfully ignorant than your average CoV council member, not to see the disaster-in-waiting with this particular mid-block crossing.

Call me a facadist but I sure hope future redevelopment preserves and restores the front face of the old nightclub building. That's the kind of stuff that can give a street some character when a lot of new development is happening.

I've been hoping the same. Maybe something akin to the Era building.

Are these rent prices normal? They seem fairly high given covid...or am I missing something here?

It's in line with Hudson Place One rents, it sounds about right for the market. Probably won't get 2K for a 500 sqft finished 1-bed but anywhere from 1700-1900 moves for sure.

The rental market is as tight and as expensive as it ever was.
And this year we also have wealthy snowbirds who ordinarily would travel south for the winter, coming to Victoria and renting apartments.
I think the demand for downtown has dropped a bit. I don't have any data to back it, but just a sense that the appealing part of downtown living isn't really here in 2020. I think the overall demand for condos is still doing well, but people aren't drawn to the city centre like they were last year. People are opting for more suburban areas.
My theory is that when tightly packed bars and dancing becomes a thing again, the demand for downtown living will also return.
