Toronto — February 25, 2022 – Starlight Investments (“Starlight”) announced today that it has completed the acquisition of four mid-rise concrete apartment buildings totaling 213 units located in Victoria, British Columbia (the “Property”).
The Properties are located across the city of Victoria, with three situated in the municipality of Esquimalt in West Victoria and one in Oaklands in North Victoria.
The properties in Esquimalt are situated close to secondary schools as well as a variety of parks and green spaces, including Anderson Park, Bullen Park, Lampson Park and Memorial Park. Residents benefit from being directly located near major bus routes and a short drive to the Johnson Street Bridge, leading into downtown Victoria.
The property in Oaklands is located across from Hillside Shopping Centre and a short walk from three secondary schools as well as Camosun College’s Lansdowne Campus. Residents benefit from being steps away from two major bus routes and a short drive to downtown Victoria.
