The Opportunity

Buy the heritage. Build the upside.

$829,900 $2M+

Comparable built-out value, informed by recent Richmond Hill mixed-use sales.

The setup

A solid brick building from 1900, used continuously as a professional office for decades, on a long downtown lot with rare parking for five vehicles and a private driveway.

The approval

Architectural drawings have been reviewed and accepted by the City of Richmond Hill: an interior reconfiguration, a rear addition to the main building, and a brand-new two-storey accessory dwelling at the rear of the lot.

The path

The next owner takes a stamped, approved package directly to building permit, bypassing years of design, consultation, and committee review. The result is a three-unit mixed-use property in the heart of Crosby.

The Property

A century of presence on Church Street.

Built in 1900, 14 Church Street South is the southern half of a heritage brick semi-detached pair that has anchored its block in downtown Richmond Hill for more than a century. The structure carries the original character of its era: stained glass, French doors, and interior moldings, alongside the substance of a property that has been continuously cared for as professional space.

The front porch facade, soffits, and roof were updated in 2012. A new heat pump was installed in 2023, an electric hot water tank in 2024, and the building runs on 200-amp service. Mechanicals are sound. Decoration and finishes are an open canvas.
