Proposed Arts & Innovation District aims to bring more arts and marine industry to Victoria’s downtownAn ambitious new development aimed at bringing more arts, culture and marine industry to Victoria’s downtown takes its first step to reality this month.
“What we are planning to do is bring a mix of artist studio, residential, retail commercial, marine industrial and culture,” Jon Stovell, Reliance Properties president, said. It includes public access to the waterfront, retail spaces, art studios and industrial buildings. Both rental apartments and owned condominiums are also expected to be built.
“And the tourist attraction for us is huge. If we are at one end of the harbour and the Royal BC Museum is at the other, it’s a great kind of bookend for people to come and really learn about Victoria,” Noble said.“We have over 23,ooo art objects, which is the largest publicly held collection in the province, and much of it is in storage,” Noble explained. “We don’t have enough space to display them.
