These new homes that are being built along the Tyneside coast are already selling fast.
Twelve new properties are being constructed on the corner of Park Avenue and Brook Gardens, in Whitley Bay - the site where the old Avenue Hotel used to be.
The old pub had been empty for years and became an eyesore before North Tyneside Council bought the building and demolished it in 2015.
Plans were then drawn up for new houses on the plot. Construction work started last year and is due to be completed in August.
The site will have a mixture of three and four bedroom townhouses, as well as a ground-floor apartment and maisonette.
The council says four properties were sold "off-plan" within the first week of going on sale.
The three-bed homes are up for grabs, through Signature North East, for between £365,000 and £390,000, while a four-bedroom one will set you back £450,000.
The estate agents say the homes will have stunning views over the Whitley Bay seafront.
The development has been named Empress Point, after the old Empress Ballroom, which was part of the Spanish City complex.
Meanwhile, another former pub site on the seafront is being considered for new homes.
Compass Developments Ltd recently exchanged contracts to buy the Whisky Bends site and has submitted a planning application for three four-bedroom townhouses.
