About the building

Residents enjoy secure underground parking, exceptionally large private storage lockers, and a vibrant urban lifestyle with boutique shops, cafes, and Red Barn Market just steps from their front door.
About Fairfield East
Fairfield East is the half of Fairfield toward Oak Bay and Gonzales, roughly the streets around Fairfield Road east of Moss Street, Redfern Street, Fairfield Plaza and the Ross Bay waterfront. The MLS split between Fairfield West and Fairfield East is not an official boundary, so the two overlap along Moss and Fairfield Road, and this side shades into Gonzales at Foul Bay Road. The houses are mostly Edwardian and inter-war, with low-rise apartment and condominium buildings along Fairfield Road and newer infill such as the Rhodo townhomes at 1720 Fairfield Road.
Fairfield Plaza, across from Ross Bay Cemetery, is the local shopping centre, with a grocery store, pharmacy and cafés, and the City's plan names it and Five Corners as villages to enhance while keeping growth elsewhere limited. Ross Bay Cemetery, the resting place of Emily Carr and more than 20,000 others, is a heritage site and a popular walk, Clover Point and the Dallas Road waterfront are a few blocks south, and Moss Rock and Robert Porter parks are the neighbourhood green spaces. Sir James Douglas and Margaret Jenkins elementaries serve the area. Route 7 runs along Fairfield Road to downtown and UVic, and downtown is a five-minute drive.
