Mermaid Wharf

409 Swift Street, Vi Downtown

Set in the charming Old Town district, Mermaid Wharf offers an incredible view of one of the busiest harbours in Canada. Many units offer views of the Olympic Mountains and Sooke Hills. Mermaid Wharf is moments away from theatre, live bands, dance clubs, and close the hub of Victoria’s urban life. Residents also enjoy Victoria’s mild climate and beautiful sunsets from the privacy of the rooftop patio which features a common barbeque and entertainment area. Secure, underground parking is also available.

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.
