James Bay is the oldest neighbourhood on the west coast of North America lying north of San Francisco. Originally, James Bay was known as Ogden’s Fields then subsequently Dutnall’s Farm and Beckley Farm. Considerable residential development began in 1859 when Governor James Douglas constructed colonial administration offices across the harbour from Fort Victoria. James Bay was home to many of Victoria’s prominent early citizens and a number of their fine homes remain to this day.

LAND VALUE SALE — PRIME JAMES BAY LOT (R2 ZONED)
Rare opportunity to secure a 9,600 SF property in the heart of James Bay at 220 Michigan St. The existing 1901-built residence contains 5 rental units (over 3,500 SF total) but is in poor condition and holds little value — this is essentially a land-only purchase, ideal for building a new home or redevelopment project.
Located in one of Victoria’s most desirable and established neighbourhoods, the site is just steps from Beacon Hill Park, James Bay Village, Inner Harbour, downtown Victoria, and major transit routes making this a walkable, connected location and a strategic investment.
ZONING: R2 (Two-Family Residential) — permitting single-family homes, duplexes, suites, and other residential options (buyer to verify development potential with the City of Victoria).
Don’t miss this chance to shape your vision in one of Victoria’s most sought-after communities!
