The Dalmatian, located at 1025 Johnson Street, is the first of its kind in Victoria. The mixed-use development will consist of 130 units of affordable housing located above a new Victoria Fire Hall No.1. Pacifica Housing will own and operate the purpose-built subsidized, low-end-market, and market units. Future residents of these new affordable rental homes will have access to studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom homes conveniently located close to transit routes, and downtown services and amenities.
1025 Johnson is the first development phase of Johnson|Cook|Yates, a new master planned community in downtown Victoria. Johnson|Cook|Yates will be a welcoming urban village with new homes, workplaces and gathering spaces that will provide convenience, comfort, recreation and affordability to the growing Harris Green neighbourhood. This non-smoking building will also house the city’s very first emergency centre, designed to withstand a massive earthquake and will meet the B.C. Building Code standards for buildings designed to remain operable following a disaster.
