New Boutique Condos Are Coming to Oak Bay Avenue

Down Oak Bay Avenue, on the edge of Victoria’s historic Rockland neighborhood is Maddison, Abstract Development’s fifth local condo development, an exclusive collection of 22 boutique one- and two-bedroom residences. Mike Miller, president and founder of Abstract, says he’s excited by the opportunity to develop a second condo project in Oak Bay after the success of Village Walk. He adds that all of the features that made the sought-after Village Walk a sell-out success were carefully integrated into Maddison’s design.

Throughout the homes, triple-pane windows and underlay beneath the carpets and hardwood floors minimize sound from neighbors and passersby. Generous outdoor living spaces are connected to natural gas and water, and lush landscaping features a rain garden. Bathrooms boast floating vanities with under-cabinet motion sensor lighting and ample quartz counter space for calm mornings. Attention to detail forms the foundation of Abstract’s reputation, and Maddison is no exception. Even practical spaces aren’t overlooked. Case in point: the parkade is fully painted and finished with Abstract’s signature parkade artwork.

“We’re quite a bit bigger than downtown units,” Miller adds. He calls the floorplans, “dialed in” with ardor you may not expect in this condo market. The location offers residents generous square footage and easier accessibility to Victoria’s most-loved neighborhoods. From the brick-and-stucco façade of the exterior to the built-in mill work of the interior, the development marries the best of classic and contemporary for timeless architectural design. Add to that Maddison’s exceptional quality and prime location in the heart of a coveted neighborhood, and the residences become a lucrative investment for rightsizers.

Located at 1765 Oak Bay Avenue, Maddison is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2017. After launching last week, the first phase has already sold out. The second phase is now selling and sure to sell out soon.
