In 1901 Richard Biggerstaff Wilson hired the noted architectural firm of Hooper and Watkins, to design the Biggerstaff Building, a warehouse and office complex at 532 Herald Street. On the west side of the building he emblazened a large sign: Wilson Bro's Wholesale Grocers. In 1989 Le Fevre and Co. bought the disused Wilson Bros. building from David Wilson and converted it into thirty-one, seismically upgraded, loft style suites, with commercial space on the ground floor, within the original, re-strengthened outer framework.

The Biggerstaff suites proved an instant success attracting renters to the building's proximity to downtown Victoria, the enormously high ceilings, the huge wooden pivot windows, the exposed brick walls, the natural wood floors and the incorporation of period materials such as massive re-cycled timbers from an old bowling alley in Esquimalt.

A contemporary rental apartment infill project located in the heart of Victoria's Old Town. 3 level cold storage warehouse converted into 24 units of rental housing with retail on main floor and a new commercial addition to the rear of building. Full seismic upgrade throughout.

Built in 1896 by grocery wholesaler Simon Leiser, the building boasted the latest in technology. Two sets of tracks, complete with turntables, allowed freight to be loaded or unloaded in both directions to and from a large electrically powered freight elevator. It also featured: "a well ventilated, cement-floored basement, hot water heating and cigar and smoking rooms".

Now, with a spacious courtyard, the refurbished Leiser Building offers the latest in modern amenities to residents in the heart of downtown Victoria.

From it, for the next twenty years, Morley ran a very profitable business, manufacturing soda water, lemonade, medical lake water, essences of peppermint and ginger and "all kinds of syrup".

In 2008 Le Fevre and Company purchased this historic edifice and added a third storey to create nine modern residential suites. As part of the renovation the builder created a wonderfully expansive green-space behind the Morley building amalgamating its inner courtyard with an already existing courtyard at the back of the adjoining Leiser Building which Le Fevre and Co. had reconstructed and renovated in 2007 and which backs onto the Morley Soda Water site. An oasis of greenery in the heart of downtown.

Built in 1883 as a gentlemen’s hotel, it was fully renovated in 2012 for downtown living. 32 affordable studio style lofts with common area courtyard & rooftop terrace. Bicycle & storage vaults included in the heritage conversion.

A former gold rush hotel with upper floors unoccupied for over 30 years. Restored and seismically upgraded into 22 units of residential rental housing and commercial on the main floor.

The New England Hotel is an excellent example of late nineteenth century state-of-the-art architecture. Built in 1892 as a forty room luxury hotel and the site of the New England Restaurant (which was famous on the west coast of North America at the time), this building is a unique hybrid of technologically advanced, Sullivanesque design and evocative Victorian Romanesque detailing. 

The Lee Cheong Building is a two-storey, brick-clad commercial and residential building located in the heart of Victoria's Chinatown.

The Lee Cheong Building is valued as part of a grouping of early buildings that contribute to the historic character and urban pattern of Victoria's Chinatown, the oldest and most intact Chinatown in Canada. 

The Lum Sam Building is a two-storey, Late Victorian-era brick commercial structure. It stands on the north side of Pandora Street on the southern edge of Victoria’s Chinatown.

It is also located across the street from historic Old Town and Market Square, a rehabilitated complex of late-nineteenth century buildings with continuous streetfronts. The exterior is richly articulated with stringcourses and corbelled brickwork.
