8th Street SE - +/- 32.50 acres R-3 (Dickinson, ND) Lot • Résidentiel • 32,5 Acres • 6 855 304 $ CAD • Dickinson, ND 58601

±32.50 acres (1,415,700 sf) inside city limits, zoned R-3 High-Density Residential. R-3 uses a site-area formula: for townhomes/multifamily up to 4 units, 7,000 sf for the first unit + 3,000 sf each thereafter; beyond 4 units, 7,000 + 3,000 (next 3) + 1,000 per additional unit. Max building coverage 70%; typical front/side/rear yards apply. This framework supports efficient, phased multifamily development.
Dickinson’s 2024 population est. 25,695 and Aug 2025 unemployment 2.5% indicate tight labor markets and steady household formation. Market-rate asks average ~$992/mo overall and ~$1,185 for 2BR; HUD FY2025 2-BR FMR = ~$1,020, a clear “workforce” price band that broadens demand.
North Dakota crude output has hovered near ~1.15 MMbpd (mid-2025), sustaining contractor, logistics, and services employment. Dickinson also sits ~86 miles from Watford City (core Bakken activity), letting workers live in town while accessing the fields.
A diversified base—healthcare (CHI St. Alexius, 2500 Fairway St), education (Dickinson State University), retail (Walmart), public schools, and manufacturing—supports demand even when drilling cycles soften. Recent employer lists and local profiles highlight this mix.
The corner is embedded in an established residential corridor with nearby multifamily (e.g., Dacotah Ridge, 560 8th St SE), close to Roosevelt Elementary (230 3rd Ave E), minutes to DSU and city services. The address grid and existing rooftops support absorption and everyday convenience.
DIK is ~6 miles from town and offers United nonstop to Denver (multiple weekly frequencies), facilitating crew change, corporate travel, and leasing velocity. Proximity to I-94 further links the site to regional employers.
A 2012 feasibility study for this ±32.50-acre R-3 site concluded it can support ~525 apartments. While R-3’s site-area rules could allow a higher theoretical count, real-world yield is driven by setbacks, parking ratios, utilities, stormwater, and open-space programming. Use ~525 units as the planning ceiling and size infrastructure accordingly. Recommend phased delivery (e.g.,150–200 units per tranche) with amenities sequenced to absorption, preserving acreage for circulation, greenspace, and potential future add-ons.
