Neighbourhood Spotlight: Old Town Victoria

At Chard, we love immersing ourselves in the communities where we build. As we continue to expand and deliver homes and commercial spaces across Victoria and Metro Vancouver, we’re excited to highlight and share some of the great amenities and destinations that make each neighbourhood so special.

This month we’ll feature Old Town. Old Town Victoria has been the city’s social and commercial focal point since the mid 1800s! Defined by its tourist attractions, speciality shops, and ocean views, Old Town is the city’s most vibrant and bustling district, drawing in visitors and locals alike. Reflected in the hundreds of heritage buildings, discover hints of the past that pay homage to the rum smuggling, fur trading, and gold prospecting that dominated the area.

We have gathered some of our favourite spots throughout Old Town, where you can pause for a coffee, enjoy a bite to eat, and explore the nearby attractions! Check them out below!

Chard’s roots in Victoria run deep, and we take pride in the many projects we’ve delivered downtown, bringing residential homes to this vibrant community. As we continue to build within the neighbourhoods that make up Victoria’s core, we are excited to be bringing 135 much-needed hotel rooms to Victoria’s Old Town District.
