‘The area could really use this kind of development:’ new rental building approved by Nanaimo Council
NANAIMO — New rental housing is coming to a vacant lot overlooking the Millstone River near Bowen Park.
A development permit at 591 Bradley Street was approved by Council during a meeting on Monday, Feb. 27 for a five-storey building situated close to the street on the northernmost portion of the property.
Fifty-five units with underground parking would be made up of studio, one and two-bedroom units at market rent.
“In terms of it’s connectivity to our downtown and the need for housing, as a general rule I’m going to be supportive of going up in the city and not outside the city boundaries,” Mayor Leonard Krog said.
