All Topics / Help Needed! / New Mulit apartment development: impact on area?
Interested in peoples thoughts here….
The large vacant block at the back of a townhouse development has recently had an approval for a develipment of 70 apartments. They are two bedrooms on avg size (80sqm)
they are on a entral road, however the townhouse behind it is facing a quiet residential street. What Impact would a development of this size have on the surrounding properies..in terms of capital growth. Ive spoken to a few people and get conflicting ideas. One – it will have a detrimanetal affectt..glut of housing accomodation impact rents in area and capital growth…the other is that it will have the opposite affrect as a 3 bedroom townhouse would be unique to what is on offer?
Only time will tell-but would be interested in people opinions or experiences
From my observations, it will only have an impact on rents of similar types of dwellings (so the 2 bedder apartment/unit market).
Houses around will do their thing almost independently.

thanks for your response Jacqui,
my only other concern is the unslighltly view of the apatment building (ground + 4 levels).. I was toying with the idea of building a mini pergola, roofing over the courtyard to have as an outloor under cover setting. area. The townhouse is a 3 bedder and this will do nicely as it will blend well with the indoor living area-that has sliding door that opens up quite wide
This is looking more like the direction I'll take.
would be interested in other peoples thoughts on this as well
