971 ROCHESTER AVENUE, Coquitlam
$1,498,000
This 8,050 sqft property in Coquitlam is a detached single-family home on a lot the new rules make suitable for a multiplex. Coquitlam applies the provincial small-scale housing rules, so most single-family lots allow three to four homes, and up to six near frequent transit. The Evergreen Line has widened the number of lots that qualify for the higher counts.
Exceptional 8,050 SF corner lot (66 x 122) in sought-after Central Coquitlam with beautiful Fraser River views and outstanding redevelopment potential. This prime property offers excellent corner exposure and is an ideal setting for a future boutique multi-unit project with strong street presence, natural light, and functional layouts, with potential for approximately four 1,500 SF units. Currently improved with a 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, it offers the flexibility to live-in or continue renting out while planning your next development. Located in a family-friendly neighbourhood close to parks, top schools, Austin Heights shopping, Lougheed SkyTrain, and major commuter routes, this is a rare opportunity in one of Coquitlam’s most desirable pockets.
