Recently acquired by Porte Communities and Reliance Properties, The Fairfield Block is undergoing a full exterior revitalization that will restore this heritage building’s street-front presence to its former glory. The revitalization will restore both the Douglas and Cormorant Street sides of the building and create a unique, historic landmark – just steps from Victoria’s newest high-end retail and office space – in what is quickly becoming Victoria’s most vibrant, active, night-and-day neighbourhood. Located directly across from Victoria City Hall, the Fairfield Block is ideally situated in a busy, high-pedestrian-traffic area, populated with well-employed government and public sector workers as well as the highly-active residents of the many up-market condominiums nearby. Directly adjacent to the south of The Fairfield Block, is 1515 Douglas, the city’s newest Class A office development, Slated for completion in early 2018 these two office buildings will be home to over 1,000 high-net-worth employees. This development is 100% pre-leased, to an impressive mix of government agencies and tech companies including bcIMC, Workday and Illumina.
