A SUITE of properties adjacent to Browne Park on the Bruce Highway are listed for a $1.519 million multi-sale, marketed as one of the largest corner developments in Rockhampton.
The listing includes six properties, five of which have houses and one vacant block which was demolished last year.
The site, from 63-65A George St and 28-35 Cambridge St, is 3367 sqm with 66.9m of frontage to the Bruce Hwy.
The close proximity to the popular Rockhampton Leagues Club and prime exposure to the highway creates the perfect position for a development.
A couple of the properties had been on the market for a while and real estate principal Kas Woch approached the owners of surrounding properties about whether they were interested in selling.
The multi-sale includes five different owners and would include five separate contracts with each contract subject to the other contracts.
At the price of $1.519 million, it works out to be $450 per square metre, which Mr Woch said was in line with sales along the highway.
Just down the road, the United Service Station on the corner of Alma and Albert St, sold immediately after auction in April 2019 for $4.7 million.
The fuel station and convenience store was built in 2018 by the Gibb Group.
Mr Woch said combining the George and Cambridge street properties together offered more opportunities to a buyer.
“A potential developer has more scope than just a 500 sqm block or 1000 sqm, it just gives the option of larger area,” he said.
Mr Woch said the site would be one of the last corner blocks left on the highway in Rockhampton.
“In real estate we say traffic employs customers and there is only a limited amount of highway frontage left,” he said.
The entire swag of properties were listed together about a month ago and Mr Woch has had some interest but no offers at this stage.
