NEW CITY BY CITY ZONING

Yesterday we started in BC to allow 4 to 6 units on properties across Metro Vancouver. Some – like Burnaby allow even more. A suitable time to review the video with Bill Laidler to understand the nuances.

Bill Laidler and Ozzie discuss: “3 Steps to Developing a Profitable Multiplex.”

Units, Strata/Rental, FSR, Exclusions, ‘Red Flags’ that limit Development Potential

PENTICTON – THE LOVELY

Last summer my wife and I found ourselves walking the promenade in the gorgeous lake side town of Penticton. In a previous life I ran 5 offices in the Okanagan and Penticton was one of them. A small sleepy village then I could not recognize it now. It has turned into a full-fledged resort town. 7 beaches along a 5 km lakefront, freshwater lakes, and wineries ad orchards galore. The place was packed with people, restaurants bursting with patrons, huge rubber toys full of kids in the lake. I fell in love with Penticton.

I was with Ace boutique builder Charan Sethi from Tien Sher who had his eye on a fine piece of property in a unique location. Unique location? Yes, right across from the hospital. Not just any hospital, but the regional hospital.

I could see that in his mind there was some “possibility thinking” about condos, medical offices, a hospital focused district. And sure enough a few weeks later he bought it.

Fast forward to today and he is launching what he calls the Innovation District.

While I am not personally involved in the marketing of it, I do like his vision and his master plan idea. Many subscribers have purchased his Surrey condos in the past and done very well.

If you are thinking of moving to a small town on 2 lakes, in the middle of wine and orchard country and a 5 km beach…take a look at the details of his master plan below:
