Address:
1025 Johnson Street is a proposal to build an 12-storey mixed-use affordable rental tower along the 1000-block of Johnson Street in downtown Victoria's Harris Green neighbourhood. The building will be the first phase of the Johnson|Cook|Yates multi-phased development.
The ground floor's Johnson Street frontage will include a state-of-the-art replacement for the City of Victoria's No. 1 firehall and a two-bay rest-ready ambulance station. An emergency communications centre, crew quarters and an office component will occupy levels two and three.

An office component will be situated on the third level of the building.
Out of curiosity, how does this compare to the initial renderings used to get council approval?
This sounds like the sort of research aastra just loves to perform.
I think this one looked very similar to the final product, didn't it?
Brick cladding and glass curtain wall might not be a possibility anymore under the Step Code.
Hey, if Los Angeles, Miami, and Toronto aren't doing anything to save to the world then I guess it's only logical that the bulk of the burden should fall on the CoV.
Seriously though, this nonsense doesn't seem to be anywhere near as evident in other parts of BC as it is in downtown Victoria. You can still build half-decent buildings in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, White Rock, Kelowna, etc.

As per aastra's post, here is a rendering for the next phases of the Mazda site.

There appears to be lots of glazing and perhaps even some colour. It will be interesting to see what actually gets built.
ps: that grassy corner will end up being useless
Mod says they will have floor to ceiling windows, does that meant he walls are 24" thick?
