Description

Exceptional 3.28-acre development opportunity in Nanaimo's highly sought-after Hammond Bay neighbourhood. Zoned R10, this prime site offers outstanding redevelopment potential for a variety of residential development concepts, including subdivision or townhouse development. The R10 Zone permits residential density of up to 16 dwelling units per hectare. Featuring approximately 100 metres of frontage and a gently sloping topography, the property offers an excellent foundation for future planning and redevelopment (buyers to verify development potential with the City of Nanaimo). Existing improvements include an updated 5-bedroom character home, detached garage/shop, and a 2018 built accessory building that is plumbed and wired for a detached suite, providing valuable holding income while development approvals are pursued. Ideally positioned just minutes from shopping, schools, transit, Departure Bay, Neck Point Park, Pipers Lagoon, and other North Nanaimo amenities. A rare opportunity to secure one of the area's premier development sites in an established and continually growing neighbourhood. All measurements, sizes, and data are approximate and should be verified if important (id:63159)

Location Accessibility

Our own metric — not an official Walk Score®.

Amenities

1/9 categories nearby

Transit

Not enough data yet

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.
