About the building
Parc Residences is a premier 12-storey steel and concrete high-rise located at 160 Wilson Street in the vibrant Victoria West neighborhood. Completed in 2005 by renowned developer Westbank, the building features 123 modern homes with floor-to-ceiling windows that capture panoramic views of the Inner Harbour and the Olympic Mountains. Residents enjoy premium amenities including a fitness center and social lounge, all situated steps away from the Galloping Goose Trail and the shops at Westside Village.
Parc Residences was designed by Cornerstone Architecture for Westbank, with two above-ground parking levels and a two-storey gym below eight residential floors. Strata records count 123 homes, and two-bedroom suites of just under 1,000 square feet are typical, with baseboard heat and gas fireplaces.
Residents share the gym, a lounge and a games room, with storage lockers and bike storage included; some stalls have been fitted for Level 2 EV charging. Listings report pet-friendly and rental-friendly bylaws with no age restriction; confirm with the strata. Dockside Green is next door, Westside Village and the Galloping Goose are a short walk, and downtown is ten minutes on foot across the Johnson Street Bridge.
