Missing middle housing on the way?

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

New property listed in Na Chase River, Nanaimo

I have listed a new property at 1636 Roberta Rd S in Nanaimo. See details here

Located in a tucked away neighbourhood, this well-designed 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home offers modern finishes and a functional layout. Hardwood flooring runs through the main level, where a bright living room with large windows and an electric fireplace creates a welcoming space to gather. The kitchen features white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and a large island with extra workspace and seating. A versatile fourth bedroom with custom built-ins on the main floor works well as a home office or guest room, along with a stylish bathroom featuring a glass rainfall shower. Upstairs, a bonus family or media room adds additional living space. The master bedroom includes a walk-in closet and private ensuite, while two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom with tub and shower. The fully fenced backyard is flat and easy to maintain with a patio area, and a garage completes this move-in ready home.
