Customs House Victoria History

Originally built in 1898, Customs House is being transformed into one of the most anticipated new residential offerings in Canada. Architect Paul Merrick has designed 57 luxury private residences that seamlessly blend old-world architecture with modern elegant designs to generate a truly exceptional building.

Customs House Victoria Floor Plans

Each home features huge open floor plans, lofty high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout that allow natural light to stream in, whilst offering unobstructed views of Victoria's Inner Harbour. Customs House contains only the highest quality finishes that include: marble surfaces, imported Italian cabinets, and Sub Zero kitchen appliances. A full concierge service, secure underground parking, state-of-the-art home electronics, and floor-by-floor controlled access ensure that Customs House will become a magnet for the most discerning buyer.

The re-development of Customs House is hardly an anomaly, as the city itself is booming. A growing tech sector and more traditional sectors such as tourism have helped boost the economy, making Victoria a smart option for investors and end users alike. The upcoming return of the British Columbia Investment Arm to Victoria will further boost the demand for luxury real estate, which, taken with a rental vacancy rate of just 0.5% means that Customs House will be well placed to benefit from both increased investor and end-user demand.
