About the building
Chateau Jubilee is a 4-storey residential building conveniently situated on the border of the Rockland and South Jubilee neighbourhoods. Built in 1977, the building recently underwent a significant exterior remediation (completed approx. 2021), featuring new windows, sliding doors, and distinct "Lumon" retractable glass balcony enclosures that allow for year-round outdoor use. Residents enjoy a well-managed community with amenities such as a guest suite, hobby/workshop room, secure underground parking, and immediate proximity to Royal Jubilee Hospital and Oak Bay Avenue shops.
Chateau Jubilee is registered as strata plan VIS511, a stucco building on a poured-concrete foundation with an elevator, 61 homes and shared laundry on every floor. The renewal programme replaced the roof and exterior, upgraded the elevator, added an emergency generator and renewed the windows and balconies, and in 2021 Lumon fitted its railings and retractable frameless glazing to the balconies, engineered by Method Engineering and installed by IEL Projects, the firm's first full-building project of that type in the region.
Suites run from about 840 to 1,140 square feet; an 840-square-foot top-floor one-bedroom carried a strata fee just under $300 a month, with building insurance, hot water, water, garbage, management and grounds included. Heating is electric baseboard. The building has a guest suite, hobby room, meeting room, secure bike storage, underground parking and visitor stalls. Pet bylaws are reported differently by different listings, so confirm with the strata.
About Jubilee
Jubilee is the Victoria neighbourhood around Royal Jubilee Hospital, between Oak Bay Avenue, Foul Bay Road, Bay Street and Shelbourne Street. It grew from nineteenth-century farms and estates, and the hospital, BC Cancer and the CNIB make it the city's medical district, so a large share of residents and renters work within a few blocks of home. Housing is mostly early-1900s character houses, with condominium buildings concentrated along Fort Street and Richmond Road where the City's plan encourages mixed-use growth; typical strata units run from about 700 to 1,200 square feet.
The Fort and Foul Bay plaza with its Save-On-Foods is the main shopping node, Oak Bay Village and the Oak Bay Avenue shops are a short walk south, and Fern Park and the volunteer-built Spirit Garden on the hospital grounds are the local green spaces. Camosun College, UVic and Willows Beach are all close. Fort Street is one of the region's priority frequent-transit corridors, linking Esquimalt, downtown, the hospital, Camosun and UVic, and Routes 3 and 10 run through to James Bay. The City plans urban villages at Richmond and Fort, Fort and Foul Bay and Stadacona, and the eventual daylighting of Bowker Creek through the hospital lands.
