In this episode of the Victoria Real Estate Podcast, host Adrian Maclaren, alongside Vincent Baart and Jocelyn Cseff from the CityNest Team at RE/MAX Camosun, sits down with Matt Rasmussen — CEO of Rolling Tides Construction, co-owner of Rolling Tides Developments and Northshore Haven, and founder of Ruth’s Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS.
We dive deep into Matt’s inspiring journey from tradesman to developer, his philosophy on building with purpose, and how his team brought 1789 Emerson — Victoria’s first six-plex Missing Middle townhome development — to life.
You’ll hear behind-the-scenes stories about the challenges, innovations, and unique features of these brand-new 2–3 bedroom townhomes priced between $775K–$825K in the heart of the Jubilee neighborhood.
From construction details you won’t see on a walkthrough, to Matt’s thoughts on the future of housing in Victoria, this episode offers insight, inspiration, and a closer look at a project that could mark a turning point in the city’s housing market.
Whether you’re a homebuyer, investor, or simply curious about where Victoria real estate is headed, this conversation is packed with value — and a few fun, unexpected moments along the way.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
