If it is these four buildings appear to be the largest in the development.
Synergy
Balance
I couldn't find any sales page for Synergy on the Dockside Green website. It must be sold out?

Specific plans are in the works for a pub, bakery and office space on Harbour Rd, below the synergy and balance buildings - closer to the water. Probably will proceed in the next year.

Today's committee of the whole had a presentation by DG's reps about the developments committments.
However, when the issue of DCCs came up, (they're being raised by the City by 600%), the Dockside folk stated that their committments could be in jeopardy with higher development charges. They reiterated that their original proposal to the city does not take into account higher costs of such sorts and that they are requesting an exemption. Could it be that if the DCC costs are weighed Dockside will require more density?
Councillor Geoff Young stated that other councillors should stop requesting developers to follow Dockside becuase the land sale (for DG) was tied to the City's request for a "triple bottom line" development and thus was sold for less than market value.
I'm glad C. Young mentioned that because all too often we have councillors complaining that new developments don't have LEED this or LEED that, but then they complain that not enough is being done to reduce unit costs. In reality implementing much of what Dockside Green is implementing requires substantial investment that in non-subsidized projects is turned over directly to consumers.

Councillor Madoff's comments below, which I've bolded, show just how hypocritical comparisons between developments can be. Councillors will bless a subsidized project for what it can acheive, and then turn around and lambast other projects for failing on following through on their promises althewhile never mentioning subsidies. Furthermore, if a developer wants to play with costlier materials in order to provide a greener structure, these councillors hark on them for high unit costs and no consideration for lower-income members of the community.
Dockside looks for break from city
Development cost charges rise 800 per cent since deal signed
BY CAROLYN HEIMAN Times Colonist staff
One of the largest developments in the province got an A-plus on its firstyear report card yesterday. In exchange, the developer is hoping for a reward from the City of Victoria.
Joe Van Belleghem, a partner in the Dockside Green development, told council Thursday that proposed increases to the city’s development cost charges will unexpectedly add $2.1 million to his costs — 800 per cent more than originally thought.

University of Oregon architecture students Peter Makrauer, left, and Chris Small discuss potential design challenges at Point Hope shipyard Friday, Jan. 12.

The Sail and Life Training Society is going beyond the old maxim “two heads are better than one.”
The society had about 30 heads adorned with bright orange hard hats touring its shipyard near the Johnson Street bridge on the west side of the upper harbour last weekend.
The graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Oregon were in town to gain some real-life architectural experience by tackling a design problem facing the S.A.L.T.S. Heritage Shipyard.
