Description

Shovel-ready riverside development opportunity on 5.84 acres along the Somass River. Preliminary Layout Review (PLR) in hand from the City of Port Alberni for 31 bare-land strata lots - the heavy lifting is done. Zoned RM1 (Low Density Multi-Residential) so the options are wide open: build the planned 31-lot community, develop townhomes, duplexes or multi-family, hold it as one private estate acreage, or reconfigure into 8-10 larger waterfront lots from a half-acre & up sized to allow a home plus a shop. Flexibility to design for today's market & maximize returns. Thoughtfully planned community with a walking trail, river viewpoints & beach access in a natural setting. Minutes to Clutesi Haven Marina, with easy access to Sproat Lake & Tofino. Sale includes PLR plus full subdivision package: engineering reports, DFO approvals, Disclosure Statement & QS reports. Ideal for investors, builders, end-users, or developers. Buyer to confirm uses, lot configurations& density with the City. (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.
