Description
Approved Development Opportunity – South Nanaimo 10 Townhouse like condos + 2 Commercial Units. Located in vibrant South Nanaimo, 450 & 460 Irwin Street offer a rare and ready-to-go development opportunity. Centrally positioned within walking distance to the scenic seawall and convenient shopping, this property combines an excellent location with an already-approved vision for the future. The project has a Development Permit approved by the City of Nanaimo for two multi-family buildings, each thoughtfully designed with five residential units + one CRU. Building A and Building B are mirror images, and the layout includes Unit 1: 1,000 sf + balcony (2 bedrooms), Unit 2: 758 sf + balcony (1 bedroom), Unit 3: 485 sf (1 bedroom), Unit 4: 660 sf + balcony, Unit 5: 660 sq ft + balcony + commercial space. The innovative design ensures appropriate parking for residents and supports much-needed ''missing middle'' housing — a critical type of housing that bridges the gap between single-family homes and larger apartment complexes. This is a prime opportunity to step into a project that aligns with Nanaimo’s growing demand for diverse, attainable housing. (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.

Financial Summary
Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
