Vacant, uninhabitable home, the listing says, with a hint at redeveloping into MMH.

StreetView shows a pretty grand house with a newish roof, 2014 though.

The least the current owner can do is demo the existing structure. I suppose that’s negotiable at sale though.

Located at 1806 San Juan Avenue in Saanich, BC, this 2.02-acre corner property is a prime redevelopment opportunity in the desirable Gordon Head neighbourhood. Currently home to a well-maintained church with 8861 finished sqft and annex building, the site offers potential for mixed-use residential development, including townhouses, commercial spaces, and multifamily units. Its sloping topography has been incorporated into preliminary development plans, and the property benefits from excellent accessibility to schools, parks, and commercial hubs. While redevelopment presents the highest value, the existing church structure is well-suited for adaptive reuse, such as continued religious use or transformation into a community hub. Surrounded by a mix of residential and institutional properties, the site aligns with local planning guidelines and market trends, making it a strong candidate for urban renewal and community-serving initiatives.

Back when Gordon Head was being planned, were the church sites identified as part of a master plan, and pre-zoned by the municipality to allow church use, or limit the sites to church use, perhaps? I wonder how that was handled.

There are lots of churches in the Gordon Head area, or there were once upon a time.

According to Saanich’s official community plan (OCP), this land is designated as "institutional," meaning it is primarily intended for government or community-related uses, district planners noted. The OCP further recognizes the potential for these properties to evolve, allowing for uses such as non-market supportive and affordable housing, as well as small-scale commercial developments.

 

In an interview with Saanich News, Mayor Dean Murdock shared his thoughts on the potential use of this land, highlighting its central location within the community.

 

“[This is] an area that is well suited for a potential future use that would ideally include some non-market affordable housing and some commercial services for area residents,” he said. “Gordon Head is one of our most populated neighbourhoods in Saanich. This land… means that it would be ideal for some space that would be attractive for community use.” 

 

While he recognized the land's future potential, Murdock emphasized that any future development would need to be proportional to the surrounding community, as it is not located along a major transportation route. He noted it would have to be “modest in size and complementary to the area.”
