But this one never got folded into a land assembly.

It sits lonely on a corner, and has been an “orphan lot” as condos have gone up across the street and developers have bought and proceeded with plans for more right next to it.

Now, it’s on the market by itself, again. This time, the asking price is $11 million for just over 8,700 square feet of dirt. It last sold, pretty much in the same condition, in February 2016 for $5.4 million.

It’s an eye-popping increase.

The property on 35th Avenue abuts five single-family home lots on Cambie that Pennyfarthing Development bought and, last summer, began the process of seeking approval from city hall to build a six-storey condo and two-storey townhouses. It recently received approval for the rezoning of those parcels and wouldn’t be interested in picking up the single lot now even if it would mean sewing up the entire block.
