Missing middle housing on the way?

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:36:51 GMT

A new proposal at 6060 Nelson Road is looking to rezone from R1 (single-family) to R7 (Rowhouse Residential), paired with a Development Permit for a 63-unit project.

The plan is a smart mix:
• 3-storey multifamily housing
• 6 Buildings

This is the kind of layout we’re starting to see more of—blending density with ground-oriented product that actually sells.

From a development standpoint, it’s a clean play:
Take a standard single-family site → unlock density → diversify product → improve absorption.

What I like about this one is the location.

This sits in the Rutherford / Pleasant Valley area—one of Nanaimo’s more established north-end neighbourhoods. You’ve got a mix of older acreage-style properties and newer subdivisions, but more importantly:
• Close to schools
• Minutes to shopping and amenities
• Easy access to parks and trail systems

Park & Fourth Townhome Development Receives Renewed Approval in South Nanaimo

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 22:38:04 GMT

A major family-oriented townhouse development in South Nanaimo has received renewed approval from Nanaimo City Council, clearing the way for the long-planned Park & Fourth project at Watfield Avenue and Fourth Street to proceed after its original development permit expired.

The project is being developed by Strand, a Vancouver-based real estate development company with a substantial portfolio of completed and active projects across Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria. Council re-issued the development permit in December 2025, confirming that the previously approved design remains valid and aligned with the City’s current planning framework.

No substantive design changes were required as part of the renewal.

Strand Brings Proven Urban Development Experience

Strand is well established in some of British Columbia’s most competitive urban markets, with a track record that includes large-scale mixed-use, townhouse, and condominium projects in both Vancouver and Victoria. Their work typically emphasizes livability, durable design, and long-term community integration — attributes that align closely with the objectives of this South Nanaimo project.

While Park & Fourth represents a significant addition to Nanaimo’s housing supply, it fits squarely within the type of family-focused, ground-oriented development Strand has successfully delivered elsewhere in the province.

168 Family-Sized Townhomes Planned

Park & Fourth is planned as a 168-unit townhouse community consisting of 22 three-storey wood-frame buildings. Unlike many recent residential proposals that lean toward smaller condo formats, this project is intentionally focused on three- and four-bedroom homes, addressing a well-documented gap in Nanaimo’s housing mix.

Key elements of the development include:

Private patios, balconies, and yard space
Predominantly two-car tandem garages
Visitor and on-street parking
A two-storey amenity building with shared indoor and outdoor spaces
A new municipal park integrated into the site
Multi-use walking and cycling paths connecting into the surrounding neighbourhood

The site is located within Nanaimo’s University District, close to VIU, schools, parks, and daily commercial amenities.

Permit Renewal Removes Uncertainty

The renewed approval follows the expiration of the original development permit, a situation that has become increasingly common across British Columbia as market conditions slowed construction starts on otherwise approved projects.

By re-issuing the permit, council removed the need for the developer to restart the entitlement process, allowing the project to move forward without redesign. A minor height variance — approximately 50 centimetres on a portion of the site — was approved as part of the renewal.

A building permit will still be required before construction can begin.

Growing Momentum in South Nanaimo

The Park & Fourth site sits near other large multi-family projects already under construction along Watfield Avenue, reinforcing the south end’s role as a key growth area for Nanaimo. The scale and form of the project reflect the City’s broader push toward family-sized “missing middle” housing, increasing density without resorting to high-rise development.

With Strand’s experience delivering complex projects in established urban markets, Park & Fourth is positioned as a long-term addition to the neighbourhood rather than a speculative one-off.

Looking Ahead

While construction timing has not yet been announced, the renewed permit keeps one of South Nanaimo’s more substantial residential developments firmly in the active pipeline.

If built as approved, Park & Fourth would deliver a meaningful amount of family-oriented ownership housing at a time when that segment remains undersupplied in Nanaimo — supported by a developer with a proven history of executing projects at scale in Vancouver and Victoria.

Further updates are expected once the project advances to the building permit stage.

12 stylish residential units above, ranging from one-bedroom + den configurations to two-bedroom layouts with ocean views.
Ground-floor commercial spaces, totalling approximately 6,700 sq ft, designed to host future shops, services, and social spots.

The community’s favorite café, Drip Coffee | Social, is brewing up some big news: its third location is confirmed to open inside Coastline Station by 2026. This is a significant win — not only will it serve locals and newcomers alike, it cements Lantzville’s growing walkable hub vibe.

Gathering spaces become everyday places, with walkable retail, community buzz, and a café as a social hub.
Residents benefit from thoughtful design, quality finishes, and lifestyle-minded urban living.

20 townhouse-style fourplexes with 80 units total.

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:48:10 GMT

An ambitious development proposal is set to transform a predominantly forested area in north Nanaimo into a vibrant new community. The project, known as Lost Lake Hills, is spearheaded by the prominent developer, District Group, and envisions the construction of 20 townhouse-style fourplexes, totaling 80 residential units, at the terminus of Tanya Drive.

A key component of the development is the introduction of a public thoroughfare traversing the site from west to east. This road, dedicated to the City of Nanaimo, is designed to eventually connect Tanya Drive and Lost Lake Road as adjacent parcels undergo future development.

The layout strategically clusters six buildings on the western segment and 14 buildings along a looping driveway, preserving central wetlands as protected natural spaces. The residential offerings primarily consist of one and two-bedroom units, supplemented by eight three-bedroom units, catering to diverse housing needs. To accommodate residents, the plan includes 134 on-site parking spaces adjacent to private drive lanes

During a recent Design Advisory Panel meeting, recommendations were made to enhance the architectural diversity of the building exteriors by incorporating a broader palette of materials and colors, thereby avoiding a monochromatic appearance. Suggestions also emphasized integrating natural elements such as wood or stone to harmonize with the surrounding environment. Additional considerations include establishing pedestrian networks connecting to adjacent public roads, designating areas for waste collection and bicycle parking, and designing retaining walls that reflect the site's natural character. Preservation of existing forested areas and vegetation remains a priority, with development clusters thoughtfully positioned to minimize environmental impact.

The project has advanced past the design advisory stage and is pending a development permit before commencing on-site work. Notably, a neighboring property at 5320 Tanya Drive received a development permit in 2022 for 37 townhouses, although construction has yet to begin.

This development aligns with the City of Nanaimo's Official Community Plan, reflecting the city's commitment to accommodating growth while preserving natural landscapes.
