837 Broughton

A contemporary infill development bridging heritage and modernity in downtown Victoria

This six-storey, wood-frame development features 43 rental units on a compact infill site in downtown Victoria. Drawing inspiration from local historic architecture, the building's symmetrical façade, strong pilasters, and subtle brick detailing present a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional forms. The development offers a balanced transition between the adjacent heritage project to the west and a planned modern redevelopment to the east.
