One of the lots, Lot U (approximately 5 hectares), has been subdivided into 34 retail sub-lots and been the subject of a structured sales and marketing campaign producing 11 pre-sales. The contracts settled shortly after the subdivision plan was registered in June 2012.
Four lots (5, 19, 30 and 31) forming part of Lot U were put up for auction on Wednesday, 22 May 2013, which resulted in seven unconditional contracts of sale. Details are as follows:
