The 1011
1011 Burdett Avenue, Vi Downtown
Victoria heritage at its finest! 32 classically designed brownstone units timelessly capture Victoria’s past. The interiors artfully merge past and present with engineered hardwood floors and a modern design scheme with state of the art technology and comforts. Sleek and sophisticated, these homes are the urban enthusiast with Cook Street Village, Beacon Hill Park and the Inner Harbour just a few short blocks away.
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.
