We identified this property as an opportunity to secure land heavy real estate in an emerging regional market at below market value. Our negotiation strategy focused on market conditions, seller motivation, and the ongoing economic uncertainty surrounding large scale projects in the region, allowing us to achieve a significant price reduction.
This acquisition forms part of our targeted regional strategy, seeking undervalued assets positioned to benefit from upcoming infrastructure and industrial expansion.
Roma is currently the focal point of active gas project development in the surrounding region. At the time of purchase in December 2025, specialist deep drilling equipment has been shipped from the United States and is undergoing customs processing. This signals significant mobilisation activity, which historically drives an inflow of contractors, labour forces, support services, and secondary job creation.
Such infrastructure developments typically generate strong upward pressure on rental demand and local housing demand as workforces seek accommodation close to project hubs.
Large Land Component
With almost 1,000 square metres, this parcel offers long term development upside, future extension options, or potential secondary dwellings subject to council approvals. Land density in Roma is a growing point of focus as population fluctuations intensify.
Corner Block Advantage
Side access and multiple frontage exposure enhance both usability and future redevelopment flexibility.
Renovation Opportunity
The existing dwelling presents a clear pathway for cosmetic renovation or functional upgrades, enabling future equity uplift without heavy structural changes.
Location Utility
Close proximity to core town infrastructure ensures consistent appeal to long term tenants and transient project based workers alike.
Our intended pathway for this asset includes light renovation, tenant placement targeting industry aligned rental demand, and medium term holding through peak project development cycles.
This approach aims to maximise rental yield during market expansion and position the property for capital uplift should the Roma market experience housing scarcity tied to project progression.
Regional markets inherently carry supply and economic risks compared to metropolitan hubs. Continued performance is dependent on the longevity and expansion of industrial operations in the area. However, by securing the property substantially below market value, our client benefits from an increased safety margin against short term volatility.
This acquisition demonstrates our ability to negotiate well below advertised prices while identifying emerging market opportunities driven by real economic catalysts.
The combination of land size, flexible block configuration, strong local employment expansion, and sub market acquisition pricing created a compelling risk adjusted investment proposition.
Purchased for $280,000 in December 2025, this asset represents an example of strategic buying where market fundamentals, timing, and negotiation expertise combine to produce measurable investment advantage.
