With its first release selling out in just six weeks, a strong response from Perth homebuyers is expected to greet the release of new land at Quattro: The New Queens Park.

Released on Saturday 28 March, Stage 2A includes 26 lots ranging in size from 375sqm to 504sqm and priced from just $199,500 (average $219,741).

This latest release of new land follows Quattro’s first release of 38 lots in December last year which attracted keen interest from homebuyers, offering the rare chance to buy new land so close to the city.

Located just 11 kilometres from the Perth CBD and even closer to the retail and restaurant hub of Victoria Park, Quattro: The New Queens Park is a joint venture between the Department of Housing and Peet Limited.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said Perth homebuyers have been attracted to Quattro because it offers them the opportunity to build their own home on new land in an established suburb, close to the city.

“After a positive start to sales at Quattro: The New Queens Park, we expect demand for new land to continue, especially from first homebuyers,” Mr Gore said.

Quattro: The New Queens Park is an urban renewal project involving former public rental housing been demolished and the land sub-divided, ready for sale. Meanwhile, selected public rental properties have also been refurbished and extensive landscaping and streetscaping has given the area a whole new look.

Department of Housing Director General Grahame Searle said Quattro is a great example of what can be achieved through partnerships between state and local governments and the private sector.

“With this release of new land at Quattro: The New Queens Park, the Department of Housing is very pleased to be involved in a project that is delivering affordable land close to the city,” Mr Searle said.

As an established area, Quattro: The New Queens Park provides easy access to shopping and transport facilities.
