Attention: Mayor and Council Re: 298 Island Highway, Victoria. B.C.

Dear Council:

I write this letter in respect to the development plans that have been prepared by Ankenman Marchand Architects for the corner of Helmcken & Old Island Hwy. I want to extend my endorsement verbally.

This Development, in my opinion, seems to be exactly what View Royal needs! The structure of the building is stunning. The sense of style displayed by the Developers is prominent in the way they have designed the infrastructure itself. The thoughtfully designed exterior is something to be appreciated, I absolutely love the West Coast feel to the building and the attention to detail is very clear.

The plaza in the front of the building is going to be a great asset to the residents of the building and View Royal. I believe View Royal is in need of a Downtown area to push View Royal to progress into a central hub for businesses and residents.

This could be an amazing opportunity for View Royal to grow and expand. A new building, central located in View Royal is exactly what our town needs, and for this reason I offer my full support as this project moves ahead.

Thank you for listening!!
