About the building
Thetis Edge is a modern 3-storey condominium building located in the View Royal area of Victoria, BC. Completed in 2013, the development comprises 48 residential units. The building offers contemporary design elements, including open-concept layouts, stainless steel appliances, and spacious balconies. Residents enjoy amenities such as underground parking, in-suite laundry, and proximity to Thetis Lake Regional Park and the Galloping Goose Trail.
Thetis Edge was developed by Forsite Developments and designed by D'Ambrosio Architecture as two three-storey wood-frame buildings with a rain garden between them, and the Times Colonist listed the project at 350 Six Mile Road while listings now use 150 and 170 Nursery Hill Drive. The two- and three-bedroom suites came in six layouts of 862 to 1,089 square feet, priced at launch from about $280,000 to $397,000, with balconies and terraces of 80 to 240 square feet; sources split between 2012 and 2013 for completion.
Suites have nine-foot ceilings, polished-concrete counters, engineered wood floors, stacked laundry and electric fireplaces, with skylights in the top-floor homes, and each has a secure underground stall and a locker, with bike storage in the garage. The strata, registered as EPS1080, allows two dogs, two cats or one of each with no size limit. Thetis Lake's main beach is a ten-minute walk.
About Six Mile
Six Mile is an MLS sub-area in the Town of View Royal, on the forested hillside between the Trans-Canada Highway and Sooke Road, bordered by Mill Hill and Thetis Lake regional parks. It takes its name from the Six Mile Pub at 494 Island Highway, built in 1855 as the Parsons Bridge Hotel and one of the oldest roadhouses in British Columbia. View Royal's own neighbourhood map does not use the name, so the MLS area overlaps several municipal neighbourhoods and its edges are approximate.
Housing is mixed: mid-century houses, newer compact subdivisions, townhouses, a manufactured-home park and a growing number of condominium buildings along the Island Highway, including The Royale and Grand and Fir. View Royal is planning its town centre on this stretch of highway near Admirals Road, with large rental projects already approved. Thetis Lake's beaches and trails are the main draw, and the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre, Q Centre arena and library are across the highway. The Island Highway RapidBus lanes under construction serve the Route 95 to downtown and Langford, Route 14 reaches Victoria General and UVic, and Langford's shopping is about ten minutes by car.
