About this home
An exceptional opportunity to acquire approx 1 acre centrally located property in Kingston's highly sought-after King Street West corridor, just minutes from Queen's University, the downtown core, and the waterfront. 525 King Street West offers strong potential for redevelopment or long-term investment in a high-demand urban location. Surrounded by a mix of residential, institutional, and commercial uses, this property presents a flexible opportunity for a range of future applications, including multi-unit residential, mixed-use development, or boutique redevelopment projects (subject to approvals). Its manageable scale makes it particularly attractive for developers or investors seeking a strategic entry point into Kingston's growing real estate market. Kingston continues to experience sustained demand for centrally located housing, driven by its expanding population, strong rental market, and proximity to key institutions. Opportunities within this corridor are increasingly limited, particularly those offering both location and future upside. Please note: the subject property is identified as Part 1 on the registered survey and is being sold as Part 1. The property is not currently connected to municipal services, and buyers will be responsible for arranging servicing at their own expense following closing.
