... potential renters then :)

This proposal is threatening to push Ken Mariash/Focus Equities' Songhees-Bayview development for the title of the longest slumbering proposal in the region. The link provided by Jackerbie above references a story that is now nearly 5 years old, lol.

Victoria is sometimes funny, in a non-amusing sort of way, in that proposed developments here typified by these two - not to mention practically anything in Oak Bay - and which are often rather modest by the standards of other cities, can take longer to reach fruition than the rise and eventual fall of global empires, or the planning, execution and actual fighting of world wars.

I took a peek at the Realstar Group web page and Christie Point is nowhere to be seen or mentioned so I presume they remain 100% focused on their hotel and UK-based projects to give much thought to the folks out here in Mayberry by the Sea. I wonder if they eventually bail altogether and just sell this property?

View Royal residents question law that allows landlords to increase rent for repairs

About 50 tenants will face rent increases of $150 a month if the Halifax-based landlord’s application to the Residential Tenancy Branch is approved

The Christie Point apartments were built during the early 1960s as temporary housing when View Royal was unincorporated. In 2017, Toronto-based Realstar Group won rezoning from View Royal council to build seven buildings up to six storeys high containing 473 units on the site.

It created an uproar among residents who would have been displaced, but the project never happened and Realstar sold the property to Killam.
