A condo-quality, pet-friendly highrise rental tower in the heart of Langford is ready to welcome its first residents as construction of the 90-suite project winds down, Citified has learned.

 

Comprised of one, two and three-bedroom residences, the 11-storey Danbrook One is the first purpose-built rental building to usher in concrete highrise living on the Westshore and marks a pivotal moment in downtown Langford’s emergence as an urban hub on the south Island.

 

“Danbrook One has become one of the most sought after rental addresses in Langford with its up-market homes and commuter-friendly, central location,” says Claire Flewelling-Wyatt, the managing broker of rental management firm Pemberton Holmes. “The tower is the first rental project of its kind outside of downtown Victoria to offer sophisticated urban living centred on a walkable, pedestrian-friendly community with modern conveniences and a thriving retail scene.”

 

Reaching the loftiest heights among the Westshore’s stock of rental residences, Danbrook One’s suites not only feature a full appliance package, in-suite laundry and high quality finishings, residents will enjoy unrivalled panoramic views from their suites with unimpeded vistas towards the Salish Sea and Washington State's Olympic Mountain Range, the natural surrounds of the region and the urban expanse of Victoria’s western suburbs.

 

“The sunrises and sunsets from the residences are absolutely stunning,” Flewelling-Wyatt said. “Many apartments take in ocean views framed by the lush greenery and rolling topography the Westshore is known for, and this alone has been a key factor among residents who’ve chosen to make Danbrook One their home.”

 

With move-ins starting this month, Flewelling-Wyatt estimates that a sizable volume of suites (priced from $1,310 for one-bedroom layouts) will be absorbed in the coming weeks as spring approaches. And with its pet-friendly rental terms – itself a rare albeit sought after amenity throughout Victoria – the red carpet for four-legged partners has been rolled out.

 

Parking is in the form of a secure underground parkade with an ample volume of stalls to meet a variety of parking needs, including the opportunity for residents to secure more than one stall.

 

Set among grocery stores, cafés, restaurants and pubs, Danbrook One’s location at Goldstream Avenue and Claude Road also yields multiple transportation options that include numerous BC Transit bus routes connecting Greater Victoria, a protected cycling corridor to downtown Victoria via the newly completed E&N Rail Trail and the Galloping Goose Regional Trail, plus easy access to highways 1 and 14.

 

“From a walkability point of view, the location is a prime neighbourhood for individuals who are keen to move away from dependence on automobiles, or even long transit trips,” Flewelling-Wyatt says, adding that the immediate area centred on Goldstream Avenue offers a wide spectrum of services that will meet the needs of individuals looking for a walkable lifestyle while being alternative to Victoria’s busy inner city and downtown core.

 

Langford’s future as an up-and-coming commercial and residential node on the south Island has been firmly cemented through several decades of focused development and beautification projects.

 

The municipality has invested heavily into reinvigorating its downtown and its rise as an urban alternative to downtown Victoria has made it popular among professionals, downsizers testing the waters of condo-style living, and Victorians who wish to be closer to the Westshore’s outdoor activities.

 

“The Westshore of today is very different from the Westshore of the 1980’s and 1990’s,” Flewelling-Wyatt said. “Langford has made tremendous strides in recent decades to foster a family-friendly, community-minded downtown poised for high density, urban living. And proof of that success is arguably its entrance into the highrise residential market with the Danbrook project.”
