Prime Development & Investment Opportunity in Navan — Dual Zoning, Multiple Exit Strategies

Welcome to 1265 Colonial Road, a rare and versatile property offering exceptional potential for developers, investors, and business owners alike. Located just minutes from Orleans in the growing village of Navan, this over half-acre lot features highly sought-after dual zoning — VM6 commercial zoning at the front and residential zoning at the rear — creating an ideal platform for mixed-use development, land severance, or long-term investment with strong upside.

The existing two-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow is well maintained and move-in ready, offering immediate rental or end-user value. A large detached shop sits within the commercial portion of the lot and is perfectly suited for a trades business, rental storage, or a future commercial tenant. The property generates holding income while development plans are pursued, making it an ideal entry point for newer investors looking to start building equity with income-producing real estate.

VM6 zoning allows for a wide range of commercial and mixed-use applications including retail, daycare, office, and low-rise apartments, while the residential zoning at the rear offers the potential to sever and build a second dwelling, a custom home, or simply retain as additional land for expansion or resale. With over 0.5 acres and rare dual road frontage on Colonial and Fairgreen Avenue, the site offers excellent access, visibility, and future flexibility.

Located in a high-demand, fast-developing corridor surrounded by estate homes and ongoing rural intensification, this property is positioned for value growth and redevelopment. Investors and developers will appreciate the strategic location near public transportation, parks, and the Navan Fairgrounds, with quick access to Trim Road, Highway 174, and the expanding east Ottawa suburbs.

Whether you're an experienced builder or a new investor looking for a live-in project with zoning upside, this property delivers rare optionality and a wide array of profitable scenarios. Buy and hold, rent and sever, build new, or develop a custom mixed-use concept — the zoning is already in place and the market is moving.

This is a unique opportunity to secure a high-value, multi-use property in one of Ottawa’s most promising outer-urban communities. Book your showing today and explore the possibilities.
