Now completed, The Sovereign offers refined, one-of-a-kind living in the heart of Old Town

Completed in September 2013, The Sovereign is already home to a number of chic downtown denizens. The first of its kind in the city’s deepest core of Old Town, located at 608 Broughton Street, this ultra-luxe condominium blends the refinement and grace of its heritage neighbours with cutting-edge design and building systems. “The building itself really fits into the neighbourhood,” says developer David Chard of Chard Development Ltd. “It's modern but it’s also an expression of the surrounding neighbourhood.” With Chard Development’s reputation for delivering on all its projects combined with a boutique building in a previously unattainable location, the team felt the project would be embraced by a discriminating buyer pleased to have such an upscale offering in the downtown core. “Quality and sophistication play very well in Victoria,” says Chard. “All of our Sovereign buyers have appreciated the extra care and attention that we have given The Sovereign and don't mind paying for it.” “From the start of the design process the Chard team has liked to think of the building as a “club” for thirty-six sophisticated and discerning owners,” says Jeff Griffiths, vice-president of marketing at Chard Development. That group of discriminating owners hail from Victoria, the Sunshine Coast, Alberta and Quebec – even as far afield as the Turks and Caicos. Balancing classic and contemporary in the interior suite finishes, The Sovereign offers clean lines for cabinets and countertop reveals, double-bowl square profile stainless steel sinks, frosted glass accent doors and top-tier appliances like the GE Monogram® dual-fuel professional range. The building features a rooftop terrace with outdoor fireplace, BBQ kitchen, heaters, and dining and lounge furniture with outstanding views of the Inner Harbour for all residents to enjoy. Owners can also book the one-bedroom guest suite that they are part owners of for visitors – but with all the Sovereign amenities included in this furnished suite, they might not want to leave. Though The Sovereign is 75% sold, ten suites are still available – a mix of two-bedroom, two-bedrooms plus den and three-bedroom suites ranging from 981 to 1,879 square feet. And for those with a little extra pocket change? All 3,235 square feet of the 11th floor penthouse await you. Suite tours are available by appointment. www.thesovereign.ca
