Another great article on the changing face of Brisbane.  Unprecedented infrastructure spend over a short period is set to be a real game changer for locals and those who have invested in, or are looking to invest in, property in the region. 

An estimated $7 billion worth of projects are already underway, including Queens Wharf and Cross River Rail, with a further $9 billion in the pipeline. Strengthening this is the combined $70 billion infrastructure pipeline between Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast – creating the greatest concentrated infrastructure boom South East Queensland has ever experienced.

With a strong vision for the future and commitment to investing in critical infrastructure projects that will continue to transform the region, Brisbane and South East Queensland are incredibly compelling markets for property investment

Ten new tower cranes will hover across Brisbane’s inner-city skyline in the next six months as Brisbane’s Queen’s Wharf development enters the construction phase.

A giant tower crane was installed on the $3.6 billion Queen’s Wharf site over the weekend as the project transitions from its two-and-a-half years of demolition and excavation phase.

Plans for the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane precinct include four new luxury hotels, more than 50 new bars and restaurants, along with 2000 residential apartments for the completed major development.

The heavy lift crane, which will kick off construction on the basement and underground carpark, sits between Queen’s Wharf Road and William Street and will be used to build one of the two towers for the Star Grand Hotel.

Next weekend, a second tower crane will go up closer to Margaret Street.

Up to 400,000 cubic metres of material will have been removed from the site by the end of next month, much of which has reportedly gone to the Brisbane Airport for reclamation work, and to construct the Automall.

The project’s builder Multiplex is expected to have up to 10 tower cranes operating within the Queen’s Wharf main site over the next six months.

The project, which is being developed by the Destination Brisbane Consortium, a joint venture led by casino giant Star Entertainment Group, with Far East Consortium and Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, with Cottee Parker Architects as the lead designers of the core integrated resort development.

Destination Brisbane Consortium says the cranes will be used to build the three integrated resort towers, first residential tower, podium level and the Sky Deck.

By late 2020 construction works will reach George Street level.

Tourism Industry Development Minister Kate Jones said the project will transform an underutilised part of the CBD and Queensland’s tourism offerings.

“With a diverse range of premium dining, shopping, entertainment, and accommodation options on the way, Queen’s Wharf is expected to generate an extra 1.39 million visitors a year and deliver a $1.69 billion dollar a year increase in tourism spending,” she said.

The project is being developed by the Destination Brisbane Consortium, a joint venture led by casino giant Star Entertainment Group, with Far East Consortium and Chow Tai Fook Enterprises. While Cottee Parker Architects are the lead designers of the core integrated resort development.

At peak construction there will be up to 2000 workers on site. Once completed state government expects Queen’s Wharf could create up to 10,000 more jobs.

Introducing The Palms Estate, Cairns - The Northern Beach's Premier Address

By Peter Gordon • April 26, 2023

Quiet simply, the Palms is the place to buy!

The northern beaches of Cairns is the Nation's best location for property investors right now, and The Palms is the premier development in this boom region.

It has the best location being elevated and backing onto the rainforest. It will have amazing facilities with a shopping village, a primary school, parks and green open space, a water park and an expanse of wildlife corridors.

It has taken the developers three years to get planning approval for this unique development to be able to hit the market. There are only 300 lots spread across 85 acres of the best land in The Northern Beaches.  Residents will have an abundance of open space right at their doorstep.  The Palms is also the only Certified Enviro Development project in Far North Queensland.

In the rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne, the winner is ... Brisbane

By Peter Gordon • April 20, 2023

Sydneysiders and Melburnians, put aside your equally outstanding flat whites for a moment. Stop bickering about whether great beaches beat cool laneways (they do) and desist from debating whether all baristas require waxed moustaches (ideally).

Because Brisbane is closing in on the title of Australia’s best city, and we must join forces to keep this subtropical upstart in its place.

Time  magazine recently named Brisvegas on its “World’s Greatest Places” list, and omitted our cities. It’s a huge shock (and who knew they still published Time  magazine?). But they might be onto something.

Time  points to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which will be hosted in the maroon metropolis. Brisbane will do a fine job, even though it’ll baffle the world when rugby league is added to the schedule and Queensland is allowed to field its own team.

Time’s  most radical claim is that Brisbane is worth visiting now, but tourism is surging. Not only did Lin-Manuel Miranda recently drop in to catch Hamilton , but hundreds of Hamilfans flew up to watch his interview with Leigh Sales (presumably unaware that it would subsequently arrive on iView for free).

Incredible Lifestyle At An Affordable Price  Equity of approx $390K on completion

By Peter Gordon • April 6, 2023
This small duplex development just a short drive from Hervey Bay on Queensland’s beautiful Fraser Coast, offers an incredible lifestyle at an affordable price. With unprecedented demand and very limited supply, prices look set to skyrocket.

A leading local agent has appraised each side of these duplex's to be worth $665k on completion and rent for $495 per week. So that is massive potentail instant equity of up to $390K on completion, which is incredibly hard to find.
