Victoria branch of the Land Title Office confirms it will lease 40,000 sqft of the new office space. Over the past 5-8 years, many new construction projects have been built in the Victoria area. Still more are now under construction or have been planned. One project that has captured my interest more than others is the Radius project in Downtown (OK, well slightly uptown) Victoria. Planned as an Urban Village, its Developer touts the project as a true mixed-used development, with commercial and office space, recreation facilities, and of course, new condominiums. The idea is that it creates a whole neighbourhood - everything a person could need - within the city block upon which it's built. You can live, work, and play all within walking distance. Obviously, a selling feature of this pr...

James BayCity of Victoria, with James Bay on the right and Beacon Hill Park in the centreThe quiet residential neighbourhood and small business community of James Bay is the oldest neighbourhood in Victoria, located close to downtown Victoria and Victoria's Inner Harbour, which is actually James Bay. James Bay still boasts many pristine older residences that have retained their original Victorian splendour, many of which were owned by the original settlers of the Victoria area. The eastern end of James Bay was reclaimed in 1903 for the construction of the Empress Hotel. Heritage James Bay incorporates the area south of the Inner Harbour to Dallas Road, between downtown Victoria and the Juan de Fuca Strait, including the BC Legislative Buildings, Fisherman's Wharf, the Cruise Ship Termin...

  Established in 1843 by James Douglas as a Hudson's Bay Company Fort, the City of Victoria has a proud history of British custom. The Greater Victoria region covers the extreme southern end of Vancouver Island, including the Saanich Peninsula, Victoria, Esquimalt, Colwood, Metchosin, and Sooke, with almost half of Vancouver Island's population of 750,000 living within the Capital Regional District (CRD) around Victoria. There is a rich diversity of landscapes within the cool Mediterranean climate of the region, ranging from the Douglas fir forests along the coast to the drier, exposed conditions of the higher, rockier elevations, which support arbutus (madrona) and Garry oak forests. Victorians display their love for the natural world by cultivating flower gardens at every turn. As yo...

 Arrival of Spring Brings SurgeIn Victoria Real Estate Sales We all thought real estate was going to adjust, maybe even Bust or Burst(many predicted a balloon burst for real estate)In Victoria BC our real estate market changed in the upward direction in February of this year, home prices seemed to bottom in December 2006. Manly due to little activity due to bad weather and the Chirstmas season.Certainly the slowest December for me in 35 years, Then January 2007 came and buyers were calling on Jan 2/07, Now it's almost May and my listing inventory is not growing, nor is the MLS listings, the Sales have jumped way up, many home sales are going as fast as they are listed. Pricing is critical, along with overall condition and curb appeal. Our Inventory is up over last year, and so are sales...
