The Brisbane CBD retail vacancy rate is currently around 19%, with greater vacancy in fringe locations away from core pedestrian thoroughfares. Local real estate agents are indicating when tenants want to lease premises, they desire prime locations with high pedestrian foot traffic passing. While the number of people in the CBD continues to slowly increase, stagnating gross effective rental rates continue to illustrate the ongoing challenges retailers have in the post Covid-19 business environment.
Below are a sample of recent CBD retail leasing transactions.
