4505 MARINE DRIVE, Burnaby
$1,950,000
This 13,532.71 sqft property in Burnaby is a detached single-family home on a lot the new rules make suitable for a multiplex. Burnaby follows the provincial small-scale housing rules, so most single-family lots allow three to four homes, and lots near frequent transit can allow up to six. Burnaby's larger average lot size often makes the higher counts easier to lay out.
BUILDERS AND INVESTORS!! This is a tremendous opportunity for a 13,532 square foot development site on the high side of Marine Drive in Burnaby. Provincial and municipal densification changes have reduced efforts and costs to developers to increase the housing supply in the lower mainland which includes this unique property. The new R1 designation will allow your client to build anywhere up to 12 dwelling units on this property if subdivided, or up to 6 dwelling units as is, or anywhere in between if your client wishes to build for themselves with the bonus of added rental revenue from additional units! There is also the potential for a land assembly of additional properties for serious inquiries, and, the City of Burnaby has allowed for a delayed payment process for DCC’s and CAC’s.
