Located in a charming location at 640 Michigan Street in Victoria’s James Bay, Duet’s two modern buildings have been thoughtfully designed to fit perfectly into this unique neighbourhood. These 90 suites with 1 bed, 1 bed + den, 2 bed and 2bed + den plans provide a remarkable variety of floorplan types and pricepoints. A spectacular landscaped courtyard links the buildings to one another and to Michigan Street. Design is by Victoria’s de Hoog & Kierulf architects and Vancouver’s Musson Cattell Mackey Partnership with construction by Farmer Construction Ltd.
NEIGHBOURHOOD INFO FOR JAMES BAY:
James Bay is surrounded by water on three sides; Victoria Harbour to the north and west, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the south. Beacon Hill Park provides a green border to the east. James Bay's extensive waterfront is alive with activity including an array of industry, government and transportation facilities.
Tourism plays a significant role in the economy of James Bay, both because it hosts many tourist destinations and because it is home to the Ogden Point cruise ship terminal. Many of Victoria's key attractions are located in the neighbourhood including the Parliament Buildings, Royal BC Museum, Beacon Hill Park, Fisherman's Wharf and many hotels and bed and breakfast establishments. Horse-drawn carriages and waterfront walkways also serve as a draw.
The heart of the neighbourhood is James Bay Village, filled with local shops and services. James Bay is an extremely walkable and bike-able neighbourhood and acts as a hub for many community sporting events that use Dallas Road as a major portion of their routes.
