The Legacy

The Legacy is an 84-home condominium at 165 Kimta Road, on the Songhees waterfront in Victoria West, built in 2000. It is a six-storey steel-and-concrete building known for unusually large suites, set a short walk from downtown along Victoria's Inner Harbour. The building is within the City of Victoria.

The building

A six-storey, 84-home steel-and-concrete building with a grand foyer, the Legacy sits on Kimta Road just back from the Songhees walkway. It is best known for the size of its homes, which are large by Victoria condo standards, and for a practical amenity set aimed at established owners. As of early 2026, the building is undergoing exterior envelope remediation.

The homes

The 84 homes are notably large, generally from about 1,200 square feet to over 2,000 in the penthouses, with two-bedroom-plus-den and two- to three-bath layouts common, a scale that appeals to buyers who don't want to give up space when leaving a house. Features include nine-foot ceilings, crown moulding, gas fireplaces, granite counters, stainless appliances, in-suite laundry, walk-in closets, and split floor plans with bedrooms at opposite ends for privacy. Top-floor penthouses add expansive terraces. South- and west-facing homes look over the Inner Harbour to the Olympic Mountains and the sunset.

Location & walkability

The Legacy sits on Kimta Road in the Songhees, steps from the Songhees waterfront walkway, Boom & Batten, Spinnakers, the Delta Ocean Pointe hotel, and the Victoria International Marina. The Galloping Goose Trail and a bike path run nearby, giving the building a high bike score, and downtown is about a ten-minute walk or a short harbour-ferry ride. The Roundhouse and Railyards developments are bringing new amenities to the area.

Who it suits

The Legacy suits buyers who want space above all: downsizers leaving a house who don't want to shrink into a small condo, and owners who value a quiet, established building with practical amenities like a workshop and car wash. The large floor plans and waterfront-edge location are the draw. Two things to weigh before purchase. The building is part-way through exterior envelope remediation, so confirm with the strata whether the work is fully funded or whether a special levy applies, and review the depreciation report and contingency reserve. And while long-term rentals are permitted, short-term rentals are not. As a 2000 building, finishes vary by home and several suites are ready for updating
