Description

This high potential piece of property offers a rare opportunity for investors, builders, and forward-looking buyers in a central Nanaimo location. Set on a 10,838.96 sq ft lot, this property is zoned R5 – Three and Four Unit Residential, making it an attractive option for those considering future multi-unit redevelopment, land assembly, or a strategic hold with upside. The existing home provides approximately 952 sq ft on the main floor, 640 sq ft on the second floor, plus an unfinished 919 sq ft basement, offering flexibility for renovation, rental income, or interim occupancy while planning next steps. The large parcel, strong exposure, and convenient access to amenities, transit, and major routes add to the long-term appeal. Land size is taken from BC Assessment and house measurements are approximate; buyers should verify all information if important. (id:63159)

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
