Vivid at the Yates | Downtown Victoria Condos

Neighbourhood

Urban, stylish and on the move. Like you.

Chard Development has long understood the potential of this neighbourhood. Throughout our fifteen years of building quality homes in this area we’ve shaped a new epicentre of energy downtown. Vivid at the Yates puts you right where you want to be at the centre of this thriving downtown neighbourhood.

From world-class restaurants to the hippest coffee joint in the city, you’ve got your pick of places to gather. Zip through the mid-block walkway to pick up your prescriptions and groceries on Yates, share a laugh over a local craft beer, or just put your feet up on the balcony and watch the bustle go by. It’s so alive here. So Vivid.

A common rooftop terrace with dual gas BBQs, comfortable lounge areas and urban agriculture offers breathtaking views in all directions.
Architectural form and finishes are designed specifically to enhance the streetscape by layering the density of the building toward the ground.
A dark brick façade fades to lighter, more reflective materials above, creating an uncluttered aesthetic and a sense of the building fading into the sky.

Team

We believe in downtown Victoria — and it shows.

We are Chard: an experienced team with a reputation for hands-on, quality craftsmanship. We are developers of relationships, kickstarters of community, builders of — and believers in — a downtown Victoria where there is room for everyone. Founded by West Coast real estate developer Dave Chard in 1994, we’re small enough to remember all the details, and big enough to shape a city.

Over the past fifteen years, we have revitalized Victoria’s downtown with functional, gracious and architecturally distinctive projects, building community and delivering on our vision of a city that promises an exciting, energetic urban lifestyle. Unique in its offering but Chard in its pedigree, Vivid is our ninth project in Victoria.
