A newly-built move in-ready ocean view condominium offering launching its long-anticipated sales campaign marks the latest phase of Central Saanich’s Marigold Lands (see website | view profile), a new-build residential community overlooking the eastern shores of the Saanich Peninsula.

 

Comprised of only 50 suites in large-sized one, two and three-bedroom configurations, homes at Marigold’s Sequoia Residences are targeted at the downsizer market, and homebuyers seeking spacious units close to shopping or natural amenities while away from the bustle of town centres like Sidney’s core and Victoria’s urban areas.

 

And as part of Sequoia’s construction completion, the next ten purchasers qualify for 24 months of paid strata fees.

 

“Our final phase at Marigold Lands has delivered an amazing collection of ‘forever homes,’ designed for purchase-occupiers with a checklist that includes ocean views, professionally curated high-end interiors, generous balconies, high ceilings, air conditioned climate control, secure EV-ready underground parking, and a market-leading financial incentive of no strata fees for two years,” says Victoria realtor Mark Rice, of Victoria-based brokerage Coldwell Banker that is handling sales at Sequoia.

 

Rice continues: “We’ve designed this project for residents that may be right-sizing or down-sizing from a larger home, who value the turn-key lifestyle of a condominium, and have quality-driven pre-requisites that are steering their buying decisions.”

 

In a region that is granting more market share to condominiums than ever before, quality over quantity has become a key differentiator for end-user and mature buyers who may no longer need the floor space of a single-family or townhome layout, but are driven by expectations of higher-end finishings, views and comforts which may be of less concern for buyers of entry-level and investor-targeted product where other factors are sought after tangibles.

At Sequoia, Rice says long-time developer partners Tim Hackett and Steve Mann have struck a balance between the expectations of end-users with a price-point proposition that makes the project one of the best values in the Capital.

 

“With pricing starting at under $600,000, Sequoia is such an attractive opportunity and especially in Central Saanich where condominiums are still few and far between, despite a population that is increasingly turning to downsizing options,” Rice says, adding that “the Marigold Lands location is itself a big selling feature, only moments away from the Saanich Peninsula Hospital, close to grocery stores and restaurants, great parks and walking trails, and steps from the ocean. Also, the site is easily accessible by frequent transit service to downtown Victoria, Sidney and all parts in between.”

 

Ready for immediate occupancy at 2520 Hackett Crescent just off Lochside Drive, six-storey Sequoia aligns well for existing homeowners who wish to sell into next year’s spring market, perennially the strongest season for home sales in Victoria. With move-in ready homes, Sequoia’s one through three-bedroom layouts (including den options) can be toured today, helping homeowners make the right choice and adequately prepare for downsizing.

 

As for finishings and materials, Sequoia’s lux layouts are available in ‘light’ or ‘medium’ colour schemes – known as dawn and dusk, respectively – that accentuate mill work and quartz countertops, desirable vinyl flooring underfoot, and eye-catching stately marble fireplace tiles. Bedrooms, meanwhile, include high-end, plush carpeting. Expertly installed accents and finishings make every room feel complete, with lighting fixtures that themselves become design statements.

 

Top-brand kitchen appliance packages and quartz counters combine to create functional gourmet focal points in every home. Ample storage space is provided in each layout to take advantage of practical efficiencies.

 

Baths are adorned with opulent glazed porcelain flooring complementing rich millwork and glazed ceramic wall tiles. Deep soaker tubs and showers are porcelain-tiled, lending to a spa-like quality.

Expansive windows complement every layout’s over-height ceilings to create airy, welcoming rooms, and residences include spacious oversized exterior patios perfect for taking full advantage of Victoria’s mild year-round climate, with incredible views beyond.

 

The building’s resident amenities feature a rooftop entertaining area with a barbecue overlooking the Salish Sea and the picturesque San Juan Islands. Ample visitor parking is available, and residents will enjoy secure bicycle parking, and access to a storage locker.

 

One-bedroom homes are priced from just under $600,000, with layouts starting at 714 square feet. A one-bedroom plus-den option is sized at 838 square feet. Two-bedroom floorplans start at 1,069 square feet, through 1,172 square feet; two-bedroom and dens make for layouts of 1,235 square feet. A three-bedroom residence is sized at 1,432 square feet.
