New home
John and I will soon be moving into a 2-bedroom suite at the Aria Residences, a new two-tower condominium complex in Victoria. Located in the southern part of the city's downtown, the development consists of 174 private residences and 5 street-level retail units. As these photos attest, its architecture has a dual personality: the brick elements facing the street are moderately traditional, while the rear (which faces a small park and a lawn bowling green) is definitely modern.
We are particularly excited about the location of our new home: we'll be less than two blocks from the Inner Harbour. Residential mid-rise and high-rise construction is continuing in the area, bringing more immediate neighbours and amenities. A large number of transit routes, including the bus lines that travel to the Swartz Bay ferry terminal, are serviced by a bus stop located within one block of the Aria. And, while we will retain a downtown location, we will be located just two blocks away from the city's largest urban park, Beacon Hill, and the mixed-use Fairfield and James Bay neighbourhoods will be within a 10 to 15 minute walk.
