In the Glen Lake area of Langford sits these newly developed lots. They are centrally located with all levels of activities only a short walk away. The Galloping Goose, Rugby Canada Training Centre, Westhills Stadium as well as it's name sake, Glen Lake, is accessed at the end of the block. All rear yards are west facing to enjoy the full afternoon sun. They also back onto Fisher's Field, meaning your back yard extends into a nature sanctuary and designated park with many meandering trails to explore. The land is level for an easy build and R2 zoning which allows for a legal suite. Perfect for the Buyer who values their privacy and wants to have nature as their neighbour. All parcels are serviced to the lot line. See survey by Ryzuk in supplements.

Oh my. At less than half an acre for $3.9 million, you’ll fit approximately 15 townhomes on that land, at a land price of $260,000 per door. It might even end up being 14-units, or $279,000 per door.

For apartments? Good luck. That’s not happening.

Now let’s say you’ve got missing middle zoning there, at up to 6-units per lot. Now you’re up to a maximum of 18-units for the sake of argument, in a mix of styles. That’s $217,000 per door. Normally the per door cost of condos is $75k in that area. Townhomes at around $150k. Give it a 10-15% premium based on an extra desirable location, etc.

I don't see this flying at all. Surrounded by SF on a street that has no MF. All of the current homes on that land are very livable as is and have had recent work done to them. 

 

The land assembly that does make sense here is 310 to 326. Older houses that are not that well kept, lots are deep - go through from Vincent to Arnot. Include the former dry cleaner property on Tillicum and you have a great MF site that I can see would much better accepted.

 

Maybe after the one I suggested gets developed, the one for sale would fly. If so, they will be holding for a while. But then land assembly is usually a very long term game.

[Victoria Watcher]

It’s a gamble I guess. It still needs rezoning, no matter what the OCP says.

Fane Island is one of the Southern Gulf Island's true little gems. Situated in the heart of British Columbia's famous southern Gulf Island, Fane Island is located in Navy Channel, just off the easy coast of North Pender Island and only a 5 minutes boat ride from Hope Bay, which boasts a community dock for easy access. With a high water land area of about 1.9 acres, the island feels much larger due to its gentle topography and the configuration of the manmade harbor at its northern tip with a pretty and open vistas that offer a front row seat for watching seals, orca whales, bald eagles and playful river otters. The island is improved with a one room rustic cottage with propane fridge, rainwater collection, wood stove and a full septic system. There is also and older solar power system installed . The Island has a foreshore lease for private moorage located within harbour. There is no dock or ramp at present but the foreshore lease permits the installation of a new dock.
