Downtown Victoria Graced by the Aria
Posted By Duncan Boan • Jul 7th, 2008 • Location: Victoria
This two-tower condominium development at the edge of downtown Victoria has 11 floors or living in each tower. It gains architectural impact by the interesting fashion in which the two towers are connected by a structure which steps up from four levels at one tower to seven levels at the other. Further architectural interest is provided by a curvilinear footprint on the rear side of the building, the side looking toward southwesterly toward the Crystal Garden. Add an exterior of brick, concrete and glass, the building looks very nice.
The first tower is dubbed the ‘Bravo’, and is ready for occupancy. The ‘Encore’ is the second, larger phase, and construction is progressing well. Each offers a good variety of one and two bedroom floor plans, the single bedroom units have one bath and some come with a den; the two bedroom units mostly have two bathrooms, and some have a den. They range in size from just under 600 square feet to a bit over 1,300.
Units are nicely finished, with engineered wood flooring, granite in the kitchen, tile in the bathrooms, quality stainless steel appliances, and roller screen window coverings to name a few. Each has a patio or terrace, and secure underground parking.
Amenities include several security features, resident caretaker, fitness centre, a meeting room with kitchen, a hobby room, and a grand lobby entrance complete with water feature.
If you want to be within easy walking distance of everything offered by in downtown Victoria, the Inner Harbour, and Beacon Hill Park, the Aria’s location may be the best amenity of all.
