No shortage of kebab shops though...

Pretty ordinary demographic IMO. Not sure what you are trying to achieve with this property. Yield or CG? Yield isn't going to be spectacular, plus the land size is quite small compared to other blocks in the immediate area. If your looking to invest in the west you are probably better to...
