From the listing agent

In the words of Alex Matheson, Ray White Milford

Vacant land on the North Shore is hard enough to find. Vacant land with development thinking already done? That's where it gets interesting. Positioned in an established Birkdale location and zoned Residential - Mixed Housing Suburban, 2/34 Hobby Street presents an exciting opportunity for developers, builders, investors or those looking to secure land for the future. With preliminary plans already prepared for a three-home development, much of the early thinking has been done, giving prospective purchasers a strong starting point from which to investigate the possibilities. Whether your strategy is to develop now, refine the existing concept, explore an alternative design or simply land-bank for the future, this is a property that deserves serious consideration. The location adds further appeal. Birkdale continues to attract buyers for its easy access to Glenfield, Birkenhead and the wider North Shore, along with nearby schools, shopping, public transport and motorway connections. Why take a closer look: * Vacant residential land * Residential - Mixed Housing Suburban zoning * Preliminary three-home development concept prepared * Established North Shore location * Multiple options for developers, builders and investors * Opportunity to develop, redesign or land-bank * Convenient access to surrounding amenities and transport links Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly difficult to replace. If you've been waiting for a North Shore project with genuine potential, 2/34 Hobby Street could be the one. Contact Alex Matheson for further information, plans and property documentation. Purchasers are advised to undertake their own due diligence regarding development potential, zoning, services, consents and the suitability of the property for their intended use. 2/34 Hobby Avenue, Birkdale rwmairangibay.co.nz/MRG33185
