Each property is selling for approximately $1,982 and $1,920 per square foot, respectively, based on their individual land areas of 13,116 and 14,060 square feet.
CBRE, the exclusive marketing agent for the properties, describes this opportunity as a chance for buyers to acquire a more manageable GCB landholding. Interested parties can submit offers for either or both properties until 5:00 pm on January 20, 2027. This presents an attractive opportunity for those seeking a substantial family residence while keeping investment costs more affordable.
