    DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY WITH APPROXIMATELY 70 FEET OF ROAD FRONTAGE OR 140 FEET COMBINED WITH CIVIC #22! This R-4 zoned property offers exceptional potential for investors, developers, and builders in a highly accessible Spryfield location. Situated on a 10,500 sq. ft. lot, the property currently permits up to 9 residential units as-of-right under existing zoning. Preliminary development analysis indicates the potential for up to 33 units through the Development Agreement process, subject to HRM approval.

Professional planning analysis indicates the potential for up to 61 residential units through the Development Agreement process, subject to municipal approvals. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding development potential and approvals.
