4-storey condo/townhouse site

Overview

Nestled on a scenic 5-acre plot adjacent to the picturesque Blue Ocean Golf Course in the heart of Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast, this development site offers potential for a low-rise condo or townhouse project poised to take advantage of Sechelt’s upcoming OCP amendments. These changes will allow for a doubling of density up to 1.5 FSR and an increase in building height up to four storeys.

The property offers panoramic views over Sechelt Inlet from its elevated position. The site’s location combines stunning natural beauty with easy access to urban convenience. A short walk connects residents to Kinnikinnick Elementary School, while nearby, the Sunshine Coast Arena and Kinnikinnick Park provide abundant recreational opportunities, enriching the family-friendly atmosphere. Sechelt is renowned for its tranquil coastal lifestyle but also thrives with recreational activities all year round. With 55 beach access points and extensive trails for hiking and biking, the community embodies a vibrant spirit that appeals to both adventurers and those seeking a peaceful haven. This prime location not only captures the essence of coastal living but also enhances the dynamic and evolving community spirit of Sechelt.

Development Potential

Currently classified under Special Infill Area 5, this site supports a development density of up to .75 FSR and permits building heights of up to 3 storeys. The future of this site is poised for significant transformation, as Sechelt’s Council passed the first reading of amendments to the Official Community Plan (OCP) on November 15, aimed at increasing density. These proposed changes are expected to double the allowable density to 1.5 FSR and extend the height limitation to 4 storeys. Such enhancements will enable the development of low-rise condominiums or townhouses, offering a prime opportunity for developers to capitalize on Sechelt’s growing residential market and fulfill the increasing demand for modern, expansive living spaces.
