New 31-unit development in Bayswater

Thirty-one townhouses will be built on the former St Luke’s Catholic Church site in Bayswater.

The 3142sqm plot of land next to the Belmont Racquets Club on Bayswater Ave was sold by tender in April this year.

The Tucana development will include two-, three- and four-bedroom homes.

They are being sold off the plans for a 10 or 20 per cent deposit (dependent on purchaser circumstances). The build is expected to be completed by 2023.

Prices are not included in the Tucana information pack but rents have been appraised at $650 to $750 per week de- pending on the property size.

“The town houses are spread over three levels, all come with one dedicated carpark or garage. Sitting on freehold titles and they also come with 10 years of Building Warranty Insurance,” the Tucana information pack says.

St Luke’s Church was built in the 1960s when the area’s population was expanding, but declining church attendances in recent decades led to its closure a couple of years ago.

In addition to the Bayswater project, the developer, Unispot, is working on projects at Don Buck Rd, Massey; River- head Highway, Coatesville; and Larch St, Avondale.
