Victoria City Council Rejects 35-Story Condo Tower: Balancing Progress and Policy
Victoria city council voted against a 35-story condo proposal, citing policy over progress. The plan from Reliance Properties would have added 321 units, surpassing the current tallest building on Vancouver Island. Council rejected it due to height limits and shifting land use from office to housing. Developer Jon Stovell criticized the decision, warning it may deter investors. Reliance offered perks like family-sized homes, rooftop spaces, and artist funding, but council rejected tweaks. The projects future remains uncertain, risking further stalled growth in downtown Victoria.
