708sqm site in the Ferry Road Precinct of Southport, DA approved for 6 designer townhouses.
The Opportunity & Development Advantage:
Take advantage of a rare opportunity to save significantly on build costs while maximising your development potential. Under the strict 2022 NCC requirements, this site would likely be limited to five residences, as the new rules demand larger doorways and hallways as part of the liveable housing design standards, reducing usable floor space and cutting into profitability. However, with 2019 NCC approval already in place, this project allows for the construction of six residences, preserving more bedrooms, enhancing saleable area, and boosting margins-an opportunity to deliver more value while staying ahead of rising costs.
