1821m2 MU2-zoned site in Chermside = Apartment Tower Heaven!

Three large MU2-zoned blocks at the uncrowded end of 12-storey Chermside - Brisbane's booming northside satellite!
Single-owner sites of this size and potential in Chermside are like unicorns nowadays, so don't let this one gallop by. In addition to their MU2 zoning, these properties sit on a relatively rare BCC Neighbourhood Plan "Active Frontage" street, which equips them with increased flexibility regarding ground level use and form, as well as the option of a far greater non-residential component compared to regular MU2-zoned blocks.
The three properties on offer consist of:
- 26 Norman Drive, Chermside (607m2)
- 28 Norman Drive, Chermside (607m2)
- 30 Norman Drive, Chermside (607m2)
Quite apart from their close proximity to both the Westfield Shopping Centre and the Prince Charles Hospital, the sites lie in one of Chermside's leafiest and most underdeveloped streets. Any development on these blocks therefore wont visually drown in the manner that now occurs at the other already-saturated "Playfield Street"-end of Chermside. There is no doubt that their acquisition will result in a building of great prestige that will be endowed with social and visual prominence in this booming area for many years to come.
An appraisal report by Vitality Town Planning (available upon request from Coronis confirms the following development parameters:
With a combined size of 1821m2, the 3 properties have the zoning, area, and frontage to technically satisfy BCC requirements for development up to 12 storeys, with a nominal maximum GFA of up to 300% of the land area, equating to approximately 5463m2 of construction. Such ratios of development are double that which is nominally available for similarly zoned sites below 1200m2 in size. But having said this, the report further notes that several recent DA's in the very same sub-precinct of the Chermside Neighbourhood Plan have been permitted by Council (for reasons that were beyond the scope of the report to establish) to exceed the published maximum GFA allowances by significant margins. So with a sharp team of consultants, who knows just how much yield might ultimately be unlocked(?) By way of cream on the cake, the location of these 3 blocks on an "Active Frontage" street further renders them with the ability to devote up to 50% of such construction to a variety of non-residential uses. Suffice to say, there is an enormous amount of potential in these sites...
If you've read this far, you probably already realise that the planets are beginning to seriously align for new apartment construction, as far as interest rate and construction cost forecasts, and the sheer demand for rental stock are concerned. Dial into that equation the current acute nationwide shortage of residences of any type, that seems to have no potential end in sight courtesy of the return of international students (particularly to SE Qld) and record levels of immigration that just by themselves look set to outpace home construction levels for many years to come. And that's before we even start talking about the 2032 Brisbane Olympics! "Red" or outright "White" - Who knows how hot the apartment market will be by the time you've obtained your DA and are ready for your off-the-plan pre-sales...
