Port Coquitlam Land for sale

Port Coquitlam Land for sale in urban areas is in short supply because taxation and rising land value have resulted in most parcels being developed. New parcels of land are being created further away from the city center. Vacant Port Coquitlam building lots for sale close to city center are rarely available. Most of the older homes that are for sale are tied together in land assemblies.

In more urban areas, a parcel of land can be created by demolishing an existing structure on it, or by assembling a collection of adjacent properties to create a larger parcel for higher density development. Sometimes, a larger parcel of land can be subdivided to create two or more smaller parcels which can be independently developed. Each approach has its pros and cons. We have extensive experience in this area – contact us to discuss the options.
