MULTI-TENANT RESIDENTIAL PROJECT EXAMPLES
Yates on Yates and Vivid
Since 2005 Chard Developments has been one of Victoria’s most prolific and successful builders of condominium homes and rental suites. Versatech has been a proud partner on many of their developments, most recently the “Yates on Yates” featuring 126 market value condominiums, and the “Vivid”, a first-of-its-kind attainable homeownership opportunity providing 135 downtown Victoria homes offered below market value through a partnership with BC Housing.
The project is constructed as two 20-storey towers over a shared underground structure which includes parking, bike lockups and storage areas. Being in the heart of downtown the building had complex security challenges including a requirement by the city that public parking spaces be included within the building. By working with Chard from the design phase forward we were able to provide security solutions including access control, entryphone panels, and an extensive video surveillance system to meet these challenges.
The Azzurro
Affordable rental specialists Real Homes Management developed The Azzurro as 56 below market rental suites over 2 floors of commercial offices including an ESL school and multi-tenant commercial offices. The mixed-use commercial space benefited from the flexible programming options provided by the Kantech access control system, particularly when complex elevator control requirements were identified late in the project’s development. Extensive use of Axis 360° panoramic cameras on the parking level and around the building exterior have help to keep residential and commercial tenants safe in a challenging area of the downtown core.
