TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT Understanding residential property development The Perth property market is delivering exceptional returns on property investment. With the unprecedented demand on housing, now is the perfect time to take advantage of this outstanding opportunity to start or build your investment portfolio by developing your block or site with an experienced, specialist builder.
HOUSE BEHIND HOUSE Retain your current property and invest in a house-behind-house development, where a new home is built behind your existing property. Ideal for if you have a large block zoned for duplex and would like to keep the current property. Also, because you already own the land in your backyard, this type of development is easier to finance and is usually a more straight forward process.
DUPLEX As the cost of land increases, take advantage of your block and cash in your land for two low-maintenance properties known as a ‘duplex dwelling’. There are a few different variations including a traditional front and rear duplex development or build two new houses side by side so both properties enjoy street frontage.
TRIPLEX With the huge population growth, many local shires have recognised the need for more housing and have re-zoned many suburbs so it is now possible to build three houses on one site. Build three units on your block for resale, rental or owner-occupy, and we can work with you on existing layouts or modify designs to meet your specific needs and requirements.
MULTI UNIT Ideal for a larger development project and to maximising the full potential of your block, higher density zoning can provide several options for multiple units on one block. As part of WA’s largest multi-unit residential builder, you can count on our specialist experience and expertise for multi-unit developments.
DEMOLISH AND BUILD Sometimes it may provide larger returns to demolish an existing property that sits in the way of a sub dividable block so as to maximise development potential. We can assess your block and existing conditions to best advise you on the various development opportunities so you can make an informed decision.
