Historic Loft w/ Exposed Brick & Timber Beams

Experience the soul of Victoria from the historic elegance of the Old Town Flats. Nestled within The Vogue—a masterfully restored 1892 heritage landmark—this sophisticated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom sanctuary perfectly blends turn-of-the-century charm with premium modern luxury. Originally built as the Victoria Hotel, the building later served as the legendary Mac & Mac Hardware Store, standing as a cornerstone of Victoria’s bustling shipping and trade era. Today, it remains one of the city's premier heritage conversions, meticulously preserved to highlight its iconic brick-and-beam architecture.

The Experience

From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by soaring 11-foot ceilings, original red-brick feature walls, and massive old-growth timber beams that tell the story of the city's vibrant past across more than 950 square feet of airy living space. Your private urban oasis extends outdoors to an expansive, sun-drenched patio—a rare find downtown—offering the perfect vantage point for sipping morning coffee while people-watching in the very heart of Old Town.
