New future for ‘unprecedented’ Narrabeen RSL site
The large northern beaches site offers a rare opportunity for developers.
The site of Narrabeen’s RSL club has been offered to market for the first time in over 75 years with price hopes upwards of $15m.
The Narrabeen RSL Memorial & Recreation Club opened in 1947 and was affectionately known as ‘The Razza’ to locals.
The club closed its doors in February 2022 and entered voluntary administrating shortly after that.
The site is now up for grabs via an expressions of interest campaign through Savills. Savills state director Tim Grosmann said northern beaches sites were rare, but a 1.88-hectare property was “unprecedented.”
