Five-storey apartment complex approved along Nanaimo’s Dufferin Cres.
NANAIMO — A presently vacant lot near the hospital is poised for re-development.
City Councillors unanimously awarded a development permit for a proposed five-storey, 86-unit apartment complex at 1740 Dufferin Cres., near Bowen Rd., on Monday, Dec. 16.
Jeremy Holm, City director of planning and development said the building would add housing to a key area of the community.
“It’s undeveloped at this point, close proximity to Bowen Rd., transportation there and as well as all the services. The hospital, NRGH is close by. The building is well separated from adjacent uses by roadways, pathways and parking.”
