Sneak peek: 'Lookout' condominiums and townhomes coming soon near Florence Lake on Victoria's West Shore

https://victoria.cit...shore-langford/

 

Langford’s picturesque Florence Lake at the foot of Bear Mountain Resort is the setting for an upcoming lake view condominium and townhome project from developer Aquila Pacific.

 

Planned as a two-building luxury pre-sale, the 130-suite offering – built to six-storeys along Bear Mountain Parkway and known as The Lookout – will launch sales this fall with a unit mix of one and two-bedroom condominiums with den options, plus two and three-bedroom ground-oriented townhomes.

 

The Lookout’s residences feature rich finishings in a sizeable assortment of spacious layouts. And being situated on a rise among tall timbers overlooking Florence Lake, many homes are positioned to take advantage of views towards Mt. Baker and the Olympic Mountain Range of Washington State, the West Shore’s rolling Sooke Hills, and Langford’s urban canopy.

 

Amenities include an observation deck overlooking the natural surroundings of Florence Lake, a dog wash station, a bicycle maintenance space, a full-size fitness studio, an entertainment area with a full-service kitchen, and a three-acre parkland reserve acting as a forested buffer between The Lookout and Florence Lake.

Ooh a parking stall, how generous.

 

Lucky for all those folk who own houses along the west side of Florence Lake off of Savory Road, they'll have these units towering over them. It won't be too bad if they're going to keep the forest on the hill between Savory and this construction.

Would two parking stalls be more generous?   I think some units come with more than one stall.

 

The people living along the lake won't actually see the building, at least not much. There's going to be quite a bit of forest between them and the project, and BM Parkway is quite a bit higher than the lakefront road there. Here's what they see now, and that's not going to change much.

Anyone know if this is a concrete and steel structure? And is this a reputable developer?

^Mike, this is a woodframe project, and the developer is active in Western Canada, with Aquila Pacific a branch of the company for Island-based projects. The developer has two rental towers coming to Esquimalt, and a condo project coming to Esquimalt, too.

 

Lookout’s rendered living areas and kitchens depicted as part of an open-concept layout with near floor-to-ceiling windows for exceptional views of the project’s natural surrounds.
