Chard Development Celebrates Milestones at The 834

To celebrate The 834 achieving an important construction milestone, Mayor Dean Fortin, City Councillors, business leaders, developer Dave Chard and the development team gathered on the rooftop of the 115-unit, 14-storey project to “top off” the building by pouring the ceremonial last bucket of concrete. The 834 launched in 2009, has achieved excellent sales success with more than 90 per cent of its units sold and is on track for a fall 2011 completion. The third Chard Development project in Victoria’s north end in six years, the upcoming completion of The 834 is cause for celebration as another major project nears completion to join recent nearby residential and commercial projects Juliet, The Hudson and The Atrium.

Dave Chard. “Over the past several years and through working on our four downtown projects, we have seen many positive changes in the community as new residents and businesses make the decision to put down roots and become part of this lively and vibrant urban core. My team and I are very proud to be playing an important role in this evolution of downtown Victoria.” The 834 is under construction by Ledcor Construction Limited and was designed by Musson Cattell Mackey Partnership. Located at 834 Johnson Street, one half-block from Chard’s completed Juliet project, The 834 is a high quality steel and concrete building. Launched during the economic recession, the project has been well received and there are now 12 remaining units with eight of these being Penthouse Collection suites on the top two floors of the building. Pricing for the luxury penthouse suites starts at $459,000, with the other available suites starting at $399,000. All prices include net HST.
