Victoria’s newest Senior community
The Vista prepares to open soon
With only a few condos remaining to sell and 50% of their suites rented, The Vista is the most anticipated Senior Living Community to open on Vancouver Island in a very long time.
The Vista has remained in high demand with seniors based on the wide range of lifestyle choices and amenities it offers. The community has exclusive condominiums for sale on the 9th and 10th floors and independent living rental suites where you can add supportive services as needed. There are also dedicated memory care studios which make The Vista a true Continuum of Care.
“We chose The Vista because once we move in, we will not have to move again when the time comes when more care is needed,” says Hanny Lester, one of the first buyers in The Vista. “The monitoring of residents’ health needs when the time comes is important to us.”
Hanny said a favourite feature of their corner suite is the view to the north and east, made even better because their home is on one of the top floors.
That doesn’t mean they will spend all their time in the suite. Hanny says she plans to use the gym several times a week, as well as the entertainment areas at The Vista.
Victoria’s newest senior community The Vista prepares to open soon.
The sales centre is open 7 days a week and there are guided tours of the inside of the community on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays to enable people to see the wonders that await them at The Vista.
“The guided tours allow us to walk people through what a day in the life will look like and answer everyone’s questions regarding their specific needs,” says Sharon Unsworth, director of sales.
The extensive amenities on the 11th floor, including the dining area, high tearoom, bistro, polo sports lounge, art studio and much more, are always highlights of the tours.
“I can picture myself sitting out on the patio with my book and a cup of tea, or a glass of wine,” says Mary Wilson, another future resident. “I look forward to inviting my friends and family in too. We like that we can remain independent but have all the services we need at our fingertips.”
The Vista will offer a wide variety of delicious and nutritious meals and themed dining events, all prepared by a Red Seal Chef. Residents can reserve tables for family and friends to join them and enjoy the dining experience any day of the week.
Along with the breathtaking views, lifestyle choices and amenities, each suite is loaded with quality features and value whether you are buying a condominium or renting an independent living suite.
“When we tour our families through the rental suites, they are always amazed that each suite hasits own balcony, air conditioning and laundry”, says Unsworth.
“They also appreciate the quality of the finishing and efficiency of the floor plans which allow for enough space to make their suite cozy and comfortable.”
Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 172, which occupied the land before the construction, will have space in the community too, thanks to a partnership with Avenir. The Legion will be accessible to the community with an entrance just off Admirals Road and will have underground parking for visitors. Additionally, there will be a Pharmacy retail space located on the ground floor to serve the community and residents of The Vista for years to come.
“We feel that The Vista is positioned to become a pillar in Esquimalt and Victoria” says Jason Craik – Principal of Avenir
Senior Living. “Our family and company are very excited to get the community open and we can’t wait to begin to serve and give back to the seniors of our community.”
Avenir Senior Living, a family-run company based in Brentwood Bay has a strong track record of developing, designing, constructing, and operating exceptional senior living communities.
Avenir began in Vancouver, where they built four independent and assisted living communities in Langley, White Rock, South
Surrey, and Port Coquitlam, then moved into operating and managing three of those communities.
Avenir has another independent living community coming soon – Edgewater, on Long Lake in Nanaimo. Plans are in the works for more communities on Vancouver Island and the lower mainland for the coming years.
The sales centre at The Vista is open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. CALL ahead to book a guided tour. They start at 3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays and at 11 a.m. on Saturdays.
