For sale: 5-acre multi-family site in the heart of Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast. Asking $4,999,000. 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. 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.

Sydney's Terrace Houses have faced challenges over time, proving unsuitable for the city's climate. Many lacked cross-flow ventilation, leading to stuffy environments. Additionally, most needed to be better oriented to maximize the benefits of winter sun. They featured small windows and inadequate guttering that resulted in dampness during thunderstorms. Having firsthand experience, my wife's family owned two rows of inner Sydney Terrace Houses for 50 years. This tenure provided valuable insights into the issues, including the constant struggle with gutters during Sydney's thunderstorms. The maintenance required was a recurring challenge, from dealing with overflowing gutters to addressing dampness and subsequent repairs. After years of upkeep, it became clear that redeploying capital into modern residential accommodation buildings was essential. This transition offered excellent capital growth and much higher annual net income. Interestingly, many long-term tenants spanning over 40 years occupied these modern spaces, highlighting the shift towards more suitable and sustainable living arrangements. #Sydney #TerraceHouses #PropertyInvestment #ModernLiving #RealEstateInsights

🎉 Hamton Property Group has achieved a major milestone with the approval of its $500 million redevelopment project on the former University of Melbourne site in Hawthorn. This pivotal development, transitioning the area from Public Use Zone to Residential Growth Zone, is set to feature around 350 apartments across six boutique buildings. The project, a testament to Hamton's commitment to addressing Melbourne's housing undersupply, particularly in the inner east, is expected to launch sales in Q3 2024 and commence construction by mid-2025. Reflecting a strong commitment to sustainable and community-centric development, Hamton's vision for this 1.6-hectare site is to create a harmonious blend of medium-density housing and natural greenery. About one-third of the area will be dedicated to publicly accessible green spaces, enhancing the local ecosystem. The development also prioritises environmental sustainability, targeting a 5 Star Green Star rating and 7 Star NatHERS, and includes plans to retain the majority of existing trees while planting an additional 100. Furthermore, Hamton has committed to offering 10% of the apartments as affordable housing, reinforcing its dedication to inclusive urban regeneration. #MelbourneRealEstate #SustainableDevelopment #LuxuryApartments #UrbanTransformation Author: Joel Robinson ------------ 📣 Was this update of interest to you?🔥 Join 14,000+ of your residential property development colleagues who follow Urban on LinkedIn.

So-Giving:Co-living was the subject of last night's #negronitalk at Ombra hosted by Fourthspace Ltd and expertly chaired by Robert Fiehn. I've attended many talks and panel discussions around the subject of Co-Living lately, it's a hot topic and a popular emerging asset class for investors and developers. It has enormous potential to fill a gap in the housing shortfall, tackle loneliness, foster and cultivate community, revive stranded assets through a retrofit approach, and reactivate urban centres. There were excellent insights offered by panel members Damien Sharkey, Gill Eaton, Simon Bayliss, Amy Frearson, Je Ahn, sharing ideas, opportunities & challenges from the perspective of planner, developer, and architects. As always the discussions were animated by provocations and questions from the room. The event served as a temperature read of opinion on Co-Living. I was surprised to find that it is still not that well understood, still in danger of being typecast as high-end pseudo members club, or rabbit hutch micro-rooms and shared kitchens. Whilst there are certainly developments at the luxury end of the market, for the most part co-living is providing an excellent alternative with added benefits of flexibility, convenience, community, quality and amenity. The latter proves a red-hot topic of discussion particularly around an alarming arms race highlighted by Damien Sharkey, where adaptability and flexibility should actually be the primary considerations. Any concerns raised about how co-living is working were robustly rebutted from the crowd by Neil MacLeod of Halcyon Development Partners. Community was the overall theme, we live better together, and community integration and cohesion are fundamental to a happy life. We know this, architects, developers, planners, and all built environment professionals have a social contract with the general public to curate and craft places that foster and encourage this. Co-living is not a silver bullet, but it is a vital part of an ecosystem of residential typologies that create diverse communities, ethnically, socio-economically, and generationally. There was a lot of talk about looking to the greener grass of Europe challenged by some sage insight from the crowd that it is not always better on the other side of the fence. However, there are definitely examples of a more mature sector, our projects with POHA House in Germany on a range of retrofit and new build co-living schemes with a variety of homes, from studios to 3-bed flatshares, and amenity spaces shared between internal and external communities bear this out. Damien Sharkey pointed to the excellent Vindmøllebakken scheme in Stavanger by Helen and Hard where the ambitions of multi-gen shared living are a reality. It remains an exciting time for Co-Living in the UK, lessons are being learned but further enlightenment is required to achieve more and do better.

Some old, commercial spaces are getting a facelift, as developers #repurpose run-down offices and hotels into renewed, residential units. Adaptive reuse is the process of reusing existing buildings, often renovating or redeveloping them, to be used for something other than they were originally intended for. In this case, commercial spaces are being turned into homes. This adaptive reuse trend has been picking up steam across the U.S. in the last year, and new data from #RentCafé shows Osceola County is leading the way. The apartment listing service reported that the county is projected to add nearly 1,900 units to a scant affordable housing market over the next few years. According to RentCafé, Kissimmee and Orlando are key figures in Florida's adaptive reuse landscape, representing 41% of the state's total projected future projects of 6,847 apartments.
