Escher

838 Broughton St, Vi Downtown

At 10 storeys and 84 suites, Escher’s bold lines and eye-catching mix of charcoal brick and metal. From kitchens that use the latest low-energy appliances to living areas that maximize every inch of floor space, Escher suites have been carefully planned to balance modern convenience with the comforts of home. A slight remove from Victoria’s bustling centre yet still just a short walk or bike ride from the best the city has to offer, was such a perfect fit for our sixth project in the city.

Victoria’s Downtown is the most rapidly growing neighbourhood in the city. New residents of all ages are attracted to the area’s rich historic character and its vibrant waterfront. The downtown has a thriving arts, culture and entertainment district combined with an impressive variety of dining and shopping choices, all within easy walking distance. The Royal BC Museum and Chinatown (Canada’s oldest) are perennial attractions for visitors and residents alike. The neighbourhood also hosts celebrated landmarks like the Empress Hotel, provincial Parliament Buildings and the Royal and McPherson Theatres.

 

Parks

The Downtown neighbourhood has green space along the waterfront, which includes Reeson Park near the Johnson Street Bridge. Cridge Park is located to the south, next to the downtown Lawn Bowling Club and Crystal Garden and near the entrance to Beacon Hill Park. Centennial Square, situated next to Victoria’s historic City Hall, is the downtown’s primary venue for events.
