Excellent 1.7-acre (6,879 m² / 74052 sq ft) development opportunity is located on a quiet road in Nanaimo’s desirable Uplands neighbourhood, a community known for its natural beauty and predominantly single-family homes. Zoned R1 (Single Dwelling Residential), the property supports low-density residential development with minimum lot sizes of 500 m² (5,382 sq ft) for standard single-family lots or 450 m² (4,844 sq ft) for lane-access parcels. Under the Official Community Plan, the property is designated “Suburban Neighbourhood,” an area oriented toward low-rise residential development with a target density of 25 units per hectare. Typical supported building forms include single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and townhomes, and given the size of the site, it could accommodate approximately 25 units. The property offers approximately 35.01 m (115 ft) of frontage and an average depth of 127.45 m (4,418 ft), providing excellent flexibility for subdivision or multi-unit planning. Gently sloping to the southeast, the land is serviced at Opal Road with water, sewer, and storm connections.
