  • OKG Property Holdings acquired this fully-tenanted office building in the Lakes Vista Office Park. The property spans 1,382 sqm with 46 basement car parks, delivering a 7.19% yield.

  • A private investor from NSW acquired these government-leased office buildings, achieving an 8.1% yield. The assets benefit from strong redevelopment potential and a solid holding income from social services tenants.

  • Sold for $15.5 million 

  • This iconic development site in Southport's Chinatown precinct offers a proposed two-tower mixed-use project. The 4,440 sqm site benefits from unrestricted height allowances and proximity to key infrastructure, including light rail and shopping centres. 

The week ending 28 February 2025 highlighted continued investor confidence in Queensland's commercial property market. Strong interest in heritage retail assets, large-scale industrial estates, and strategic office investments underscored the market's resilience. Development opportunities in growth precincts such as Southport and Wongawallan demonstrate investor appetite for assets with long-term potential. With limited supply and strong demand, the market is well-positioned for continued momentum throughout 2025.
