After being identified as a key growth area in Queensland, one of the largest residential-zoned developments in Townsville, officially launched earlier this year offering 20 homesites in the city’s southwest.
In a strategic move to combat the growing population and new home buyer and investor interest demand in Townsville, property developer Urbex acquired the 80.27-hectare site in mid-2022.
The plans will see 850 homesites at the Somers and Hervey development delivered over the next 15 years.
“Our commitment to delivering well-connected communities across the nation is our specialty and we are proud to not only deliver diverse homesites but an unparalleled living experience for Townsville residents,” Urbex General Manager Peter Sherrie said.
“This is our eighth master planned community in the region after successfully giving life to more than 8,000 dream homesites across the country that have been transformed into ideal living spaces by Australian families who proudly call an Urbex community home.”
Nestled between Mount Stuart and The Pinnacles, the $136 million expansive residential development boasts seamless connectivity with the addition of a new on-ramp from Beck Drive to the Ring Road, bridging residents to essential amenities including James Cook University, Townsville Hospital, and Lavarack Barracks.
Somers and Hervey is expected to evolve into a vibrant lifestyle hub for approximately 2,000 residents.
“We are excited to unveil stage one of Somers and Hervey after acquiring the site in May 2022,” Urbex Realty General Manager Craig Covacich said.
“We are well-versed in delivering diverse communities to North Queensland, and with our eighth community underway and title expected for June this year, Townsville residents can expect an elevated contemporary living experience at Somers and Hervey.”
