Bayview Place’s newest building, Promontory, has broken ground. The ceremonies took place on January 30, 2012 at Bayview Place, Victoria. Focus Equities has partnered with Bosa Properties to build a 21-story high rise condominium tower which will redefine the skyline as Greater Victoria’s tallest building. The partnership has been very successful with 50% pre-sales prior to construction commencement. The success of this partnership gives great promise to Bosa Properties expanding into future development at Bayview Place.
