An artist's sketch of 1400 Vancouver Street, a 15-storey residential tower proposed for the 900-block of Johnson Street at Vancouver Street. The building's unique angled eastern frontage will serve as its most iconic architectural element.
Angled 15-storey highrise pitched for Johnson at Vancouver could stand as Victoria's own leaning tower

Victoria-based Cox Developments has submitted a proposal to the City of Victoria with plans to build one of the most architecturally unique residential towers in the Capital Region, Citified has learned. The angled 15-storey design (https://victoria.citified.ca/rentals/1400-vancouver-street/), leaning to the east from its location on land formerly occupied by the McCall Brothers Funeral Home along the 900-block of Johnson Street at 1400 Vancouver Street, will be an architectural first for Victoria where a building as prominent as the 50-metre tall highrise will literally hover over its foundation and an adjacent 1960's-era funeral chapel designed by famed Victoria architect John Di Castri. "We like to push architectural norms with our projects, and we wanted to do something very different and very unique on this site," said developer Dan Cox. "The building design stemmed from a desire to see the chapel retained and repurposed, given the role it has served in our community, and the
importance of this building to Victoria's architectural heritage." [Full article]
