What are the OWNER’S plans
&
why should you pick this unit?
Once the aged care development behind the complex has finished, the owner will come to the marketplace and advertise the property for sale. With that being said the owner has invited me to share the property up to my database early and is open to selling prior in an OFF-Market format.
Why could the unit be a good investment?
Proximity to Brisbane CBD and transport links
Toowong is only ~4 km from Brisbane’s CBD. Sylvan Road in particular has very good access to major roads, public transport (trains, buses, ferry), which is appealing for tenants who work in the city or locally.Lifestyle amenities
Being inner-city/suburban means being close to shops (e.g. Toowong Village Shopping Centre), cafes, hospitals (Wesley, Westside Private), parklands, and easy river access (without flooding) . These factors tend to attract renters or buyers willing to pay a premium.Development activity & growth potential
Currently, this lot is LMR2 Low-medium density residential (2 or 3 storey mix See image below) However, there is already considerable development interest along Sylvan Road:22-24 Sylvan Road, a 1,760 m² mixed-use development site with river views and frontage, was offered for sale, indicating strong demand.
Also, at 70 Sylvan Road a proposal for a 12-storey apartment building (53 units) with rooftop amenities has been lodged.
36, 50 & 56 Sylvan Road already have towers developed on the land
These point to increasing density and likely infrastructure / service improvements, which help drive value.
Historical Growth & Consistent Demand
Some key indicators for Toowong:Units have seen strong growth over the last couple of years for both sales and rentals.
Big Commercial & Educational precincts like The University of Queensland attract tens of thousands of employees & students looking to reside locally
Relatively short times on market for properties, especially units suggest demand is healthy.
Preference for older builds & smaller complexes
Units that are part of smaller complexes are typically built in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Many buyers and tenants appreciate the less condensed living where overheads also tend to be lower. Society also views the build quality as higher and maintenance levels or ongoing costs as lower.
