Mass sell off of blocks in another failed Gladstone housing estate
The developer behind Gladstone Green, Moreton Bay Developments No 8 Pty Ltd, is in administration and its assets are being handled by a private lender.
Only 13 of the house and land packages at Gladstone Green were sold about four years ago.
An auction sell off was attempted for the 23 blocks earlier this month, but now they're on the market.
Advertised as "never to be repeated pricing" the blocks are flat and ready to build on.
The land sizes range from 300sqm to 660, but most are around 450sqm.
The 23 blocks are advertised for sale by Ray White from $49,950, with the average price $68,000.
