Set in the charming Old Town district, Mermaid Wharf offers an incredible view of one of the busiest harbours in Canada. Many units offer views of the Olympic Mountains and Sooke Hills. Mermaid Wharf is located a block north of the world famous Johnson Street Bridge at the foot of Victoria’s historic Chinatown.
The neighbourhood is dotted with art galleries, quaint bookstores, fine dining, boutiques and several west coast cafes. Home to many festivals, Victoria is considered one of Canada’s cultural capitals. Mermaid Wharf is moments away from theatre, live bands, dance clubs, and close the hub of Victoria’s urban life.
Situated on at the start of the upper harbour, residents of Mermaid Wharf enjoy canoeing and kayaking, strolling along the wooden harbour trails, or simply staring at the breathtaking views.
Residents also enjoy Victoria’s mild climate and beautiful sunsets from the privacy of the rooftop patio which features a common barbeque and entertainment area. Secure, underground parking is also available.
Victoria’s harbour offers many forms of off-island transportation. Mermaid Wharf is close to the seaplane terminal, ferries and the heliport. Travel to Vancouver, Seattle, Port Angeles and Bellingham is easy and convenient.
Units at Mermaid Wharf are investment opportunities. Victoria is a premier tourism and convention destination seeing millions of visitors each year. Mermaid Wharf has several units that are rented out on both short and long-term basis. Short term vacation or business rentals can be easily managed and provide a lucrative income during the high seasons.
Ocean, harbour, cafés, clubs, culture, fine dining and boutique shopping. The Old Town district is home to hundreds of extraordinary independent retailers and restaurateurs. It could become your home too. Visit Mermaid Wharf and see the many ways Victoria’s lifestyle fits you.
