This week’s Queensland commercial property transactions reveal strong investor interest across office and industrial sectors. High-value acquisitions in the CBD and suburban areas show continued demand for well-leased, income-generating assets, particularly those with established tenants. Strategic sites in Brisbane’s western corridor saw impressive gains in the industrial market, reinforcing the area’s appeal for logistics and supply chain operations. These transactions highlight the resilience and attractiveness of Queensland’s commercial property market amidst economic shifts.
Office Transactions
Underwood, QLD
Property: Four adjoining commercial strata lots (3105 to 3108), Portal Office Park, 2994 Logan Road
Buyer: Interstate investor
Price: $3.5 million
Details: These 699 square metres are fully leased to Uniting Care Queensland, a tenant with a 15-year history at the property and a lease extending another five years with options. The property sold at a yield of 7.99%, making it an attractive investment with steady income and long-term tenant security. This sale highlights ongoing interest in stable assets, especially those with government-backed tenants, amid a market where reliable office investments remain scarce.
Chermside, QLD
Property: Office unit, 80 square metres, 2/598 Rode Road
Tenant: DC Construction Services
Lease Term: Three years
Rent: $28,000 net per annum plus GST and outgoings
Commentary: This smaller office lease shows the steady demand for flexible office spaces in suburban areas like Chermside, where businesses benefit from lower rents compared to the CBD. Smaller spaces like this also cater to firms adapting to hybrid working models while maintaining a professional presence.
Brisbane CBD
Property: 27-storey office tower, 145 Ann Street
Buyer: Aware Super (in advanced talks)
Expected Price: Approximately $200 million
Details: Aware Super’s pending acquisition of this A-grade tower marks the first major CBD office purchase by a super fund in Brisbane in nearly five years, signalling renewed institutional interest in Brisbane’s office market. The sale, reflecting a near 8% decline from its recent valuation, underlines the market’s price adjustment phase. This move by Aware Super may also suggest a belief in the long-term resilience of premium CBD assets.
Holland Park, QLD
Property: Two-level office building, 930 Logan Road
Buyer: Investor
Price: $3.05 million
Details: With 400 square metres leased to Ray White on a new five-year lease, this investment achieved a yield of 5.9%. Situated in Brisbane’s southern suburbs, this property demonstrates investor appetite for stable, suburban office assets leased to established businesses. The yield and tenant history provide appealing risk-adjusted returns for long-term holders in a cautious office market.
Industrial Transactions
Bowen Hills, QLD
Property: Warehouse and office, 307 square metres, 5/100 Campbell Street
Tenant: Allo Creative
Lease Term: Three years with an option
Rent: $76,000 gross per annum

Smaller industrial spaces are particularly valuable for creative and tech businesses that require flexible environments near urban centres, blending accessibility with affordability.
Brisbane Airport, QLD
Property: Office space, 313 square metres, B3/2 Leonardo Drive
Tenant: Alstef Australia
Lease Term: 12 months

Richlands, QLD
Property: 3.13-hectare industrial site, leased to Grays E Commerce Group Ltd
Seller: Centuria Capital
Price: $26.75 million
Details: Situated within Brisbane’s high-demand western corridor, this 13,763-square-metre site saw considerable value growth, selling for nearly $11 million above its 2018 purchase price.
