749 Douglas Street

Telus Ocean Holdings Inc. has applied for Development Variance Permit No. 00293 at 749 Douglas Street, Victoria, for signage variances on the Telus Ocean office tower. The $150M, 11-storey building is under construction and nearing completion (CHEK News, cheknews.ca). Citified.ca pegs the project at 10 storeys with 154,000 sq ft of Class A office space and 5,300 sq ft of retail — the only downtown Victoria office tower built this decade (victoria.citified.ca). The DVP is a post-construction signage matter on the May 21 council agenda. The stage field showing “rezoning” appears to be a data extraction error; the item is a variance permit, not a land-use rezoning. Completion is expected later in 2026.

Telus Ocean Holdings Inc. seeks rezoning for 749 Douglas Street in Victoria to permit a telecommunications facility redesign. The application will be considered at a public hearing on May 21, 2026. Council has not yet issued a decision.
