Description

This property presents a unique investment opportunity in a sought-after area near Cambridge Railway Station. Currently comprising the vacant Malta Road Centre, a single-storey brick structure with approximately 215 square meters of space, this site spans about 0.15 hectares (0.37 acres) and is ripe for redevelopment. With full planning permission already secured for the construction of nine residential units—including four three-bedroom houses, three two-bedroom flats, and two one-bedroom flats—this site offers significant potential for developers looking to capitalize on the strong demand in this vibrant community. The local area is well-served by amenities, while proximity to major employers like Cambridge University and leading tech companies enhances its attractiveness as a residential enclave. The existing building could be demolished to pave the way for new developments, aligning with modern living standards. Furthermore, recent approvals and ongoing planning adjustments hint at cost-saving opportunities that could further enhance profitability for savvy investors.
