While Victoria is a city steeped in history, there are plenty of new residential buildings in the works as well — 49 new home developments are currently planned, under construction or have been recently finished in Victoria, according to BuzzBuzzHome. Thirty-five condo developments are in progress in Victoria at the moment, with the median list price of a new condo totaling about $829 per square foot.
A high-end suite that’s right in the city’s inner harbour offers the full luxury downtown Victoria experience just steps away from the marina.
Suite 601 is one of the last remaining condos available in the Harbour Collection at Customs House, now under construction near Government and Courtney streets. Spanning 2,353 square feet, this two-bedroom-plus-den, three-bathroom unit is the largest condo currently available in the building, according to BuzzBuzzHome, with a list price of $4,699,900.
Situated on the sixth floor, Suite 601 offers 969 square feet of private outdoor space to enjoy views of the Pacific Ocean and mountainscape. Passing through the entry corridor, the suite opens up into a living, dining and kitchen area complete with a fireplace and a custom glass-door wine wall.
From the eat-in kitchen that’s finished with a quartzite waterfall island and Italian cabinetry, future residents can access the suite’s covered terrace, which has enough room for lounge seating, a barbecue and an eight-seater dining table.
On the opposite side of the unit, the principal bedroom offers access to the wraparound balcony. A walk-in closet, heated bathroom towel bars and marble mosaic shower floor tiles in the ensuite help to make this bedroom suite feel luxurious.
Customs House was once a federally-owned building, originally constructed in the 1890s. After undergoing several renovations and extensions throughout the years, the project’s developer, Cielo Properties, is working to restore the historical structure’s sandstone exterior that will encase a new concrete residential mid-rise with 57 residential units. Construction is expected to be finished this year.
The latest information from BuzzBuzzHome shows that pricing for available floorplans at Customs House begins from $2,550,000.
