Roundhouse Marketplace is the first phase of Bayview Place's Roundhouse development in the City of Victoria's Vic West neighbourhood. Comprised of commercial spaces, Roundhouse Marketplace will include a variety of retail opportunities in both new-build and restored heritage buildings at a Canadian National Historic Site.
The site's anchor tenant is expected to be a grocer occupying nearly 32,000 square feet of the historic railroad roundhouse building. Smaller commercial units will range between 1,145 to 5,848 square feet.
A unique retail opportunity in the form of eight railroad boxcars will provide tenants with spaces of 400 to 500 square feet situated throughout the northeast area of the Roundhouse property.

I just hope the seafoam spandrel and grey cladding panels live up to the hype.
If you're going to put significant height anywhere, Songhees is probably it. Think of it as our own little La Defense (since there's nothing we love more than comparing Victoria to other cities)
Couldn't agree more - but we know how irrational much of that mob is with the usual hysterical refrain"...........soon we'll look JUST LIKE...XXXXXXX!!!!" <Insert the name of any large global megalopolis you can think of, no matter how many more millions of citizens it has or how ridiculous is the comparison>.
Funny thing is - and pick a decade - I'm sure some old guy was standing on a Victoria street corner in 1968, or 1938, or 1898 - and saying the exact same thing about the city then, at a time that these anti-everything people today look back on so fondly as "the good old days when Victoria was quaint"..... Phhhhhhhhhhht. Quaint to me is Canmore AB or Wolfville or Chester NS. I rarely think of any region with over 400K as "quaint".

To be pedantic, La Defense is Paris' modern CBD and not even Vancouver can replicate something like that. The Songhees is more like the southern section of False Creek.
In the massing illustrations why do they present things in the most unflattering way possible? Three identical slab towers in a line, very wide & the exact same height, with little space between them. If the reality ends up being anything like that it would be terrible. The "walling off" effect that many critics complain about even when it's not evident could actually come to pass there.

I was struggling to put my thoughts into words but this is it exactly...I like the vision of creating a city within a city but the massing seems very odd
