A condominium pre-sale launching this month in Langford’s ‘lakes district’ is generating interest for its competitive pricing, wide collection of floorplans and central setting, Citified has learned.

 

Six-storey Munroe (see website; view Citified profile), from developer Landvision, is coming to the 2600-block of Sooke Road near Jacklin Road just a stone’s throw from Glen Lake and minutes from the upcoming West Shore post-secondary campus.

 

Located between Langford’s burgeoning commercial core and the relaxed pace of outdoor activity-rich suburbia, Munroe is well within walking distance to full-service shopping, while all-day transit connectivity to downtown Langford and Victoria runs along the Sooke Road thoroughfare.

 

The area’s infrastructure is well developed, and provides motorists easy access to Highway 1 via Sooke Road/Highway 14, and cyclists have a separated conduit to downtown Langford or downtown Victoria along the Galloping Goose Regional Trail paralleling Sooke Road.

 

Comprised of 118 studio through three-bedroom homes priced from $334,900 (65% of suites are priced below $500,000), Munroe’s layout options and value have already drawn a wide range of prospective purchasers ahead of an August 24th Grand Opening event, says Alex Hughes, Sales Manager at Munroe’s 2615 Sooke Road presentation centre.

 

“Langford’s lakes district offers a rare blend of urban amenities and a comprehensive range of outdoor recreational opportunities,” Hughes says, adding that “we’ve had significant interest from first-time buyers looking for centrally located pre-sales, couples planning to transition into larger layouts, the investor market shifting its outlook to the West Shore, and empty nesters wanting to remain in their Happy Valley or Triangle Mountain communities.”

Speaking to the well developed transportation options at Munroe, a car-lite or car-free lifestyle is an easy choice for future residents, making it a great spot for students or rental tenants weighing the option of car ownership. Hughes also mentions, that Langford is especially top-of-mind for parents planning to purchase a home for their child who may be studying in Greater Victoria, given the 2025 completion of a joint University of Victoria, Camosun College and Royal Roads University campus now underway in downtown Langford, and streamlined transit connections from Munroe to each institution’s main campus.

 

For households with one or more vehicles, Munroe features plenty of parking in a secure underground parkade. All residences, aside from second level studios, include at least one parking stall. Studios without parking have the option of a stall for only $15,000, a price well below parking stall rates in other parts of the region, and additional parking can be purchased for homes with an allocated stall.

 

“Recognizing that transportation needs can change between the time of a pre-sale purchase and completion, or even after occupancy, we’ve made the option of securing a parking stall or adding a second stall affordable, giving buyers flexibility at a very reasonable cost,” Hughes said.

In terms of finishings and materials, Munroe’s up-market, urban-inspired layouts present purchasers a light-themed ‘dawn’ or darker-themed  ‘dusk’ colour scheme that accentuates mill work and quartz countertops mated to designer hardware and faucets, plus desirable wide-plank laminate flooring underfoot.

 

Top-brand LG and Samsung kitchen appliance packages paired to large custom eat-up L-shaped kitchens combine to create functional gourmet focal points in every home, while ample storage space is provided in each layout to take advantage of practical efficiencies, including built-in organizers.

 

Baths are adorned with opulent large format floor tiles complementing rich millwork, and deep soaker tubs in select floor plans are spa-like in their design, while frame-less sliding door walk-in showers evoke modern flair.

 

Expansive windows complement every layout’s nine-foot over-height ceilings to create airy, welcoming rooms, and residences include spacious exterior patios perfect for taking full advantage of Victoria’s mild year-round climate. Optional air conditioning is available, for interior climate control throughout warmer months.

Munroe’s quality interiors and practical living spaces are joined by 6,000 square feet of amenities that are among the most contemporary on the West Shore. A well-apportioned co-working office, known as the Fritillary, will be available to residents as will an impressive lounge dubbed Crescent Room, complete with a state-of-the-art kitchen and lots of room to dine, relax and entertain, or even recreate at a pool table. The Monarch Health Club, meanwhile, is a gym and fitness centre equipped for an all-around wellness routine.

 

“Victoria’s West Shore is by and large the most desirable place for newcomers to settle in Greater Victoria, where long-time residents can plan for a first-time home, or where investors can realize stable value in the real-estate market,” Hughes says.

 

“With the Sooke Road corridor just beginning to realize its potential as the community densifies and transitions into a mixed-use, high density node, today’s buyers are entering at the start of the transition. And based on the volume of development in the pipeline, we anticipate real-estate values to grow as residents realize the opportunity of living in the walkable lakes district, close to shopping and nature.”
