The Belvedere

Finished in 2006, the 79 unit Belvedere is one of many new residential developments in the Humboldt and Blanchard area on the Fairfield border. With attention to excellence in design and appointment, The Belvedere offers its residents luxury, quality and economy in the most beautiful city in Canada, Victoria BC. Units at The Belvedere are investment opportunities. Victoria is a premier tourism and convention destination seeing millions of visitors each year. The Belvedere has several units that are rented out on a long-term basis. Vacation or business rentals can be easily managed and provide a lucrative income during the high seasons.
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.
