Victoria Press Apartments is a 12-storey rental complex situated on Ross Lane at Kings Road immediately behind the Victoria Press Building along the 2600-block of Douglas Street in the City of Victoria's Burnside Gorge neighbourhood.

The Victoria Press project has restored the former Times Colonist Building into a mixed-use office and commercial complex. The Victoria Press Apartment tower replaces a surface parking lot to the rear of the Press Building.

Parking note: while the residential tower includes an underground parking component, the parking stalls are allocated for use by the Victoria Press Building occupants and clientele, plus a retail component within the apartment building, and not by the residents of the tower.

David began his first commercial real estate company, Pacific 1 Properties in Portland, Oregon in 1993 at the age of 27.

So he is 27+24+7= 58 years old.

I don't know, some guys want to retire by 65.

March, 2023:

In January, Colliers, who are leading the leasing of the Victoria Press Building, confirmed to STOREYS that substantial construction of the building completed in November, and was approximately 50% leased to two major tenants: Codan Communications and Coho Commissary Kitchens. Tenant improvements are currently ongoing and are expected to be completed in the first half of 2023.

I'm not sure Coho ever moved in.

Oh yeah, and we wait and wait and wait… remember it’s taking over a year to get approval for three sea cans.
