I paid 208 a square foot for my house just a few years back and that is ignoring the floor space in the carriage house. Why anyone wants to live right downtown at those prices is beyond me.
How is the Redfern located “right downtown”? Even the thread title lists a location right in South Jubilee, and it’s a short walk to Oak Bay from the site (like 5 mins on foot)…

One should never get details like many years of hundreds of thousands of dollars of gains in property values and several kilometres from downtown get in the way of being a old cranky bastard. I will point out that Rockland is closer to downtown than South Jubilee. I mean, the Redfern is barely within the area considered to be part of the CRD core.
Millennials, take note: Why buy a condo when you can go back to 2011 and buy a house? Dumbasses!
5 mins to Oak Bay? More like 20 seconds if you catch the light.

We can argue as to what is downtown in terms of greater Victoria but I see the city in terms of being from Sidney over to Sooke. Anywhere you want to place it is still pretty damn pricey for a condo.
The 1 bedroom for $649k is small at 556 square feet. The bigger 1 bedrooms are priced at $720k and all face north and ohter than the unit on the 2nd floor, none of the larger 1 bedrooms have balconies - only juliettes. I understand this was a demand of the city due to the rear of the building facing directly onto residential homes - no sitting outside or bbq-ing. Also - no dens or offices which in a post covid worlds, seems like a miss to me, but then perhaps this particular market doesn't work from home (or at all). The finishings are (or will be) absolutely stunning - there is no doubt this building will be high end luxury. I also liked that each parking stall will have the ability to have an electric car charge right at the parking spot (I think it was an additional $700).
