Development Land for Sale – Prime COR1 Zoned Property on Metral Drive, Nanaimo This rare development opportunity in North Nanaimo offers a level, fully serviced lot with COR1 zoning, allowing for multifamily residential, professional office, and limited commercial uses. With generous frontage on Metral Drive and easy road access, the property is well-suited for low- to mid-rise development (3–6 storeys) and surface parking—no underground structure required. Strategically located near major retail amenities such as Nanaimo North Town Centre and Superstore, the site benefits from strong transit connections and is part of a growing corridor identified for infill and higher-density housing by the Official Community Plan (OCP). Nanaimo continues to experience strong demand for multifamily housing, driven by population growth and affordability factors compared to larger cities. The City and Province have introduced incentives for “missing middle” housing, making this an ideal time to invest in a high-potential property. With an estimated buildout of 12–14 units, this is a compelling real estate investment opportunity for developers seeking a well-located, versatile site in one of Vancouver Island’s most desirable markets.
