Another Seaside Heights motel is eyeing an exit, pitching the property to prospective buyers as an opportunity to “undercut” the rental market by offering at least 14 studio-sized units that could be rented out seasonally or otherwise.<\/p>\n

The Sunburst Motel, which spans two contiguous lots \u2013 one on the Boulevard and one around the street corner on Hancock Avenue \u2013 has been listed for sale for $4.75 million. Its former neighbor, the Coral Sands Motel, has already been demolished and replaced<\/a> with a 15-unit condominium complex that was built from the ground-up.<\/p>\n

While no formal proposals have been floated to replace the Sunburst, the property is being marketed as an opportunity to keep the building standing and maintaining 14 studio apartment-sized units.<\/p>\n

“This property could be potentially converted from its status as a motel to a 14-unit condo complex or run as separate Airbnb rentals,” a marketing deck posits. “The property has 15 total units with 14 which are one-bedroom studio apartments.”<\/p>\n

A full-size apartment is also present on the ground floor, which could be utilized as a manager’s residence. The marketing deck pitches the building as a “prime property for undercutting the current condo market here in Seaside Heights.”<\/p>\n

A new owner would not be obligated to continue running the business as is \u2013 or in any other form \u2013 and could conceivably propose demolition and new development on the site. The two buildings that make up the property total a combined 14,500 square feet, having been built in 1984. The parcels equal a little more than a quarter-acre of the land.<\/p>\n

The property is being marketed by Robert Heffernan, the motel’s current owner.<\/p>\n
