Address:
The Apex Site property on Douglas Street at Humboldt Street in downtown Victoria, also known as the 'Budget Lot,' will be redeveloped into a mixed-use midrise or highrise project. Although details pertaining to the building usage and the architectural design have not been publicly revealed, the project is a partnership between Jawl Properties and telecommunications company TELUS.
The City of Victoria-owned Apex Site property was the subject of an early 2017 bidding process between six proponents. The City of Victoria opted to proceed with a development planning process and a land sale with partners Jawl Properties and TELUS.
Note: the identified height of 10-storeys is not reflective of the design and is a temporary figure.

I can neither confirm or deny.... :squint:
Either way the hush hush surrounding this project is intriguing. Does anyone know for certain whether an actual design, preliminary or otherwise, actually exists but is being kept under wraps? Or is that just speculation? Not sure what TELUS or the Jawls have to gain if true....

Keeping the design underwraps to avoid the anti-height NIMBY outcry that would befall a modern, tall, landmark building. It'll all be approved quietly and will be far to late for anyone to stop it once it is revealed!
*said in jest, with a hint of genuine optimism*
That soon, huh?
yes it's been fast-tracked.
