The University Village Mall is on the 2 other corners totalling approx 8 acres of new commercial retail as the commercial center node. This property is in what's called the commercial corridor w/ densities up to 150 units per hectare. Based off this you could propose an approximately 9600 Sq ft building with ground floor commercial and 2 maybe 3 floors above of residential. The sites on a massive lane as well and the city already upgraded major infrastructure around the property in the past 5 years. Furthermore the city will be developing the infrastructure of building a lighted 4 -way intersection as it's potentially the busiest 4 way stop sign in Nanaimo. This will take place soon and it will increase the visibility/value of the site and it will benefit from the extensive boulevard/roadwork/sidewalk that will encapsulate all aspects of the 4 corners complete infrastructure. Ideally when the city has completed their work you can more easily visualise how powerful the locations impact will be on any number of businesses looking to secure a high traffic location in this rapidly growing city/community.
