The attainable housing development above Victoria’s new fire station has opened its doors to tenants.
Located at 1021 Johnson St., the Dalmation is a partnership through BC Housing between the province, City of Victoria, Pacifica Housing and Dalmation Developments. According to a statement from the province, it is the “largest purpose-built affordable rental project of its kind in downtown Victoria.”
For people with moderate and low incomes, eight floors in the 12-storey building host 130 units including a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. Monthly rents range from $375 to $2,900 depending on unit size and the resident’s income.
On behalf of Dalmation Developments, Jawl Residential built the new rentals and firehall as the first phase of a mixed-use development. More than 800 market-rate rentals are planned for the remaining phases which will also include a mix of commercial space, including retail and restaurant space, and public spaces featuring a 2,700 sq. ft. plaza.
