Description
Great opportunity to secure a rare industrial zoned property! This 2.23 acre lot is located only minutes from Smithers on a paved road with no load restrictions and 2km off of Highway 16. The property is level and ready for development. Restrictive covenant on title limits use, however the Regional District has stated they would be open for discussion on alternate uses with a potential purchaser. Environmental assessments done and would be available to qualified purchasers. Would make a great spot for a warehouse, laydown yard, wrecking and salvage operation, or motor vehicle repair (all uses subject to approval by governing bodies). Residential allowed alongside principal use. Neighbouring 6 acre property is also for sale. (id:63159)

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.
