Attention Investors, Developers & Builders – Here’s your chance to secure a rare R-3 zoned lot in the heart of Dartmouth! 257 Main Street offers prime development potential with direct frontage on Main Street and access from Kuhn Road. The federal government has made it clear that they will be pushing for upzoning along all main transit corridors which Main Street is. Whether your vision is single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, or a mixed-use project, the location is second to none—especially with neighboring developments already being applied for. WM Fares has an application in for 14 stories and 105 units on the far side of Kuhn Road. Following similar ratios to their development, this site could potentially be approved for 60 units. Perfectly positioned across from NSCC and just steps to public transit, shopping, and all the conveniences of Main Street, this property is brimming with potential. Opportunities like this don’t come around often. Buy now, before new announcements in the suburban plan force the value up. Be the investor that beats the boom.
