Traditionally subdividing a larger block means having one residence at the front and one at the rear. However, a block needn’t be as wide as you might think to build a side-by-side option to offer better value to the end buyer.

A front and rear duplex development will likely need to accomodate access for both homes with a side driveway, or though utilising a rear lane or ROW for the rear home. The side by side option provides street frontage to both homes as per a standard block and build.
