When a dynamic expression of architecture is designed to maximize natural light and frame captivating views, creating a sense of connection and serenity with the beauty of Haro Strait—you'll understand what it means to experience a lifestyle of coastal luxury living.
Your new home in , the gateway of 91原创 Island, by trusted local developer (MGC), will greet you with a water-centric relaxation that welcomes you like an old friend. The premier 36-unit, four-storey steel and concrete condominium is expertly positioned at 9570 Fifth Street, a highly walkable neighbourhood with proximity to Sidney's waterfront, green space and vibrant downtown core.
This exclusive collection of contemporary one- and up to three-bedroom plus den open-concept homes are luxuriously large and comfortable. They seamlessly bring the outdoors in, with expansive folding glass walls (in most residences), connecting living areas to generous-sized covered decks and patios with fire tables, and unimpeded views of the Salish Sea from most units.
"The large patio with foldable walls is what sold me," says Islander Colleen Matthews (67), who purchased a two-bedroom on the main level, downsizing from a three-bedroom rancher in Langford.
"These views are unbelievable! I love the outdoor space; it has a nice gas fire bowl that I could sit beside and sip wine every night."
You can also luxuriate in 360-degree views from the common rooftop patio, with its loungey feel of sun shading, relaxing couches and fire tables.
Inspired interiors, exceptional location
Designed with thoughtful intention of luxury comfort, interiors echo Sidney's dreamy ocean scenery. Expect high-quality European inspired spaces with exquisite finishes, from engineered hardwood flooring to high ceilings, where clean lines and cool, serene materials blend effortlessly with warm textures and natural hues.
Culinary time is made easy on large kitchen islands with Caesarstone quartz waterfall countertops and built-in Fisher and Paykel appliance package. Spa-inspired bathrooms with floating vanity and oversized porcelain floor tiles (heated in ensuites) provide a soothing retreat.
With an energy efficient heating & cooling VRF system, home automation package to control lighting, security and blinds, to EV-ready parking stalls, every modern convenience has been considered. In fact, residents will have 91原创 Island's first fully-automated system, which enables vehicles to be stacked two high.
"We knew parking would be critical to our buyers and so we have 50 stalls," explains Ed Geric, owner and president, MGC. "You drive in, press a button, enter your code, and your stall will come to you. As a bonus, buyers who travel will enjoy additional security using our lift system."
When considering location, it was top of the list for Matthews when making her ultimate decision. "It was important for me to be close to the water, and the convenience to everything is amazing."
Geric concurs with her sentiments about accessibility and lifestyle: "The condo is situated across from Tulista Park, with picnic areas, the and a boat launch close by. It is also steps to pickleball, tennis courts and the ."
"We're walking distance to Sidney proper, where the highly improved 2.5-kilometre Sidney waterfront walkway takes you into downtown Sidney and beyond."
Quality living, legacy property
Built with steel and concrete for quality and longevity is something that checked the boxes for Matthews. "I wanted steel and concrete for fire prevention and soundproofing, and wasn't interested in a wood structure. I think it's one of the best buildings in Greater Victoria."
According to Matthews, their customer service is just as solid.
"From the minute I stepped into Mike Geric Construction they were welcoming and friendly. Whenever I had a question, they'd get back to me right away; It's been a really nice experience."
Geric's commitment to quality living for downsizers in particular cannot be understated. Travino condominium won the 2018 CARE Awards Gold Project of the Year, and most notably, saw a lot of downsizers move in, given the spacious designed, quality homes in the lush residential Royal Oak neighbourhood. It was also recognized for its industry-leading innovations in sustainable building design and soundproofing.
The Rise on Fifth homes start at $549,000 and range from 567 square feet (4th floor, one bed) to 1,391 square feet (main floor, three bed plus den).
