Development Site · Rockland · Victoria
A flat 20,700 sq ft corner lot zoned GRD-1 (PGA), with an 8-unit heritage conversion on site and a base FSR of 2.6.
*Lot area from survey and municipal records — buyer to verify.
The Site
The property sits at the corner of Pemberton Road and Carberry Gardens. Frontage on two streets and level grade give a design team more freedom on access, massing and building orientation than a typical mid-block Rockland lot.
The site is zoned General Residential District – 1 within a Priority Growth Area. The North Pacific Homes team understands the base FSR to be 2.6, with potential to increase through the City's density benefit provisions. Buyers should complete their own due diligence with the City of Victoria.
The existing house was built in 1904 and converted to eight residential units in 1981. It offers holding income through planning and a character piece of Rockland's history. The City lists no heritage designation for the property.
Large lots, mature oaks and stone walls define this part of the city, and land of this size rarely comes forward here. The 2019 topographical survey is available on request.

Community
Alex Hughes and the North Pacific Homes team have long seen Rockland as one of Victoria's most settled addresses — large lots, mature trees and heritage homes, with Government House and Craigdarroch Castle a short walk away.
Daily life is straightforward from here. Fort Street's cafés, grocers and shops are a few minutes away, Oak Bay Village is a short drive east, and downtown Victoria is close enough for an easy commute by car, bike or bus. The area rates as very walkable with excellent transit access.
For a builder, that combination matters: future residents get a quiet, established street with the conveniences of the city close by, which supports long-term value for a well-designed project.
