There are some big changes happening in the North Delta community. If you’ve ever traveled east on 72nd Avenue as you approach 116th street, you may have noticed a few boarded-up homes on the right-hand side. A development proposal for this area has recently been approved and in the video above, you can see exactly where this development will be constructed.

The five homes on the corner will be replaced with 40 brand-new 3-bedroom townhomes. These townhomes will range from 1,400 square feet to 2,300 square feet, and the entry to the site will actually be off of 116th Street, not 72nd Avenue.

Regardless of the public opinion of the development, it has been approved, and the corporation of Delta has made it clear that they are very much in favor of redevelopment of 72nd Avenue into future townhome development.

There were 105 people from 75 properties that were opposed to the development; however, after the city conducted their traffic impact study, they concluded that the development of this site won’t necessarily have an impact on peak traffic congestion. Personally, as someone who travels up and down 72nd Avenue, I think that it’s already quite congested and that adding 80 or so vehicles to the area will likely have an impact. That being said, the city is also considering widening 72nd Avenue into a four-lane street.

In any case, these 40 new townhomes coming to the corner of 116th Street and 72nd Avenue mean that the area is starting to develop, so if you have any questions about these townhomes, what is happening in this segment of our community, or anything else related to real estate, please feel free to reach out to me by phone or email. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
