Development Opportunity - Halifax Peninsula North End Residential 4,990 SF Lot located on the boundaries of the 15+ acre Fort Needham Memorial Park. Recently approved HRM ER-2 zoning has opened the possibilities for types of use: single family; semi-detached; 2-unit; 3-unit; 4-unit; or more (TBD). The following opportunities and information are subject to HRM zoning bylaws and subdivision requirements. They may include: 1) completion of the mid-renovation existing single unit building 2) creation of multi-units through internal conversion of the existing building with the option to expand the square footage for more even units in a backyard addition, or 3) build new multi-units from a minimum of 4-units to a TBD number of rental units. BONUS: there’s also an option to add a detached Backyard Suite at grade level or above a garage that can be used for family, friends, or rental income, plus there’s Government funding available to help with the costs! Backyard Suites are not subject to HRM unit and bedroom count maximums. Rental units created through internal conversion and adding an addition are also not subject to HRM bedroom and unit count maximums. Currently in the existing building there are no finished spaces, however the roughed-in total floor area is +/-1,800 SF. ANOTHER BONUS: The 4,990 SF lot size meets the minimum size requirement for the property to be subdivided into 2 Lots that can be sold separately, each with a semi-detached building and a backyard suite!
