Whakatane town centre is a narrow strip of land squeezed between hills and the ocean. The local council are very conservative about granting licences for new developments. All this means that there is no scope for over supply of the market for apartments, often a common problem with investing in new areas where there is plenty of space to build on and plenty of developers wishing to capitalise on demand. Currently only two other multi story developments have been built in the town. At the time of writing, no other developers have been granted permission to build further such developments. The eastern Bay of Plenty is one of New ZealandÕs favourite holiday destinations. Should you wish to rent the apartment at any time, QuaysideÕs residential manager will take care of finding and vetting tenants. Currently the town centre is undergoing a gentrification process. Sidewalk cafes and new restaurants are proliferating. The large superstores are re-locating to a large retail-designated area outside the town. A yacht marina is being planned for the river-mouth. The local tourist industry is going from strength to strength. This includes such activities as big game fishing, helicopter tours to nearby volcanic White Island and swimming with dolphins. THE PRICE NZ$536,000 On-going costs will include maintenance fee and the fees for the body corporate who administer the building and maintain the high profile of buyers / tenants. THE SELLER This particular apartment is offered as a private sale. For personal reasons we wish to sell it on to a legitimate buyer. Construction will be completed in May 2009.
