Perfectly positioned in Sidney’s Orchard neighbourhood, 9691 Fifth Street is a rare land and redevelopment opportunity in one of the Peninsula’s most walkable seaside communities. For developers and long-term investors, this flat 55 x 100 ft lot with RM5 zoning and a municipally recognized laneway offers an attractive combination of current use, income or holding potential, and future upside. Just steps from Beacon Avenue’s shops, restaurants, cafes, and everyday services, and a short walk to Tulista Park, Roberts Bay, and Sidney’s picturesque beaches and waterfront pathways, this property sits in a highly desirable destination neighbourhood that end-users and tenants actively seek out. This property’s zoning framework and laneway access make it especially appealing for small-scale multi-unit housing concepts, with provincial policy now encouraging multiplex and gentle-density forms in established residential areas. This creates a clear path for future redevelopment into triplex, four-plex, or similar infill formats (subject to municipal approvals), while the underlying land value is supported by strong walkability, coastal lifestyle appeal, and limited supply of comparable infill sites. For buyers looking to secure well-located land in Sidney for a strategic buy-and-hold, land bank, or phased redevelopment, 9691 Fifth Street offers a compelling balance of present-day affordability, zoning flexibility, and long-term growth potential in a tightly held, high-demand market.

About

Andrew Hobbs*

Andrew is an exceptionally well-versed Realtor, having helped over 250 clients purchase and sell properties and real estate investments, including condos, townhomes, houses, duplexes, multi-plexes, commercial strata, and even one hobby farm! He has facilitated condo sales in almost every prominent building in downtown Victoria and the surrounding area. Andrew has been an MLS Award winner since 2009, and an MLS Gold and Silver Award winner from 2010 until present

Besides being a Realtor, Andrew is also a certified French teacher and chess guru. He taught high school English in Paris from 1997-1998 and then, after moving to Taiwan to study Mandarin in 1999, he opened and ran a chess school in Taiwan from 2003-2008. (It’s still open and running today!) 

Andrew and his wife Shu-Hui have two children, Jasmine and Joshua, and together, they enjoy camping, hiking, and cycling all over Vancouver Island. He still enjoys teaching languages, chess, and tennis, but most of his efforts are spent on teaching his kids, but he has taught (and will in the future) volunteer chess classes at Oaklands. 

Since 2009, the Hobbs family has sponsored a boy name Abel in Malawi through SOS Children’s Villages. Over the course of his time as a Realtor, Andrew has donated to BC Cancer Foundation and their Ride to Conquer Cancer, MS Society of Canada, Operation Smile, Canadian Mental Health Association (Ride, Don’t Hide), and Alberta Fires Relief.
