Description: A 1,500 square foot bungalow-style building in the Southern Foreshore area of Dangriga that is currently being use
Just off the seafront in the centrally located Southern Foreshore neighborhood of Dangriga is a single-story concrete block building that is in use as a commercial bakery. The building has unfinished block walls, a zinc roof with exposed rafters and sits on a concrete slab. Doors and windows are swinging batten wood. The building is less than 20 years old and is in average condition.
The building is a basic, structurally sound facility that could be finished in a number of ways to create a restaurant, a nightclub or a guest house including a number of separate units. It has a large central area of approximately 20? x 50? and two side rooms that are approximately 10? x 35? and 10? x 15?. It also has a small add-on piece at the east side that is approximately 10? x 15?.
The building sits on a lot that has 3,661 square feet with 62? of street frontage. It is fenced on three sides and the south boundary consists of a partially-completed 12? x 50? structure that includes a concrete slab and reinforced concrete corner and side posts on 12? centers. It also includes a small enclosed room at the east end.
This property is only one lot removed from the sea and is in a quiet and pleasant mixed-use neighborhood. It is only three blocks from the town?s central business district and within minutes of hotels, guest houses, park and other tourism facilities. It is one block south of the North Stann Creek River that flows through the center of Dangriga.
While available as an individual purchase, this property can also be looked at as part of a larger purchase since two adjacent residential properties are also currently available including one seafront home and another residence with three separate residential units.. The opportunity presents itself to convert these properties into a small hotel/restaurant that would be unique in Dangriga and would address the need for additional infrastructure to serve the areas growing tourism market. There is also the possibility of expanding this three parcel property even further when an additional adjacent seafront parcel comes on the market in 2006 thus providing more than a half-acre of seafront property in the center of Dangriga for creative development. Such an opportunity rarely presents itself in the life of an established community.
