The Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games represent one of the most transformative events in Queensland’s history. As the city prepares for an unprecedented program of infrastructure, urban renewal and global exposure, investors, developers and occupiers are asking the same fundamental question: what will this mean for real estate?
This report examines the “big questions” shaping the next decade of Brisbane real estate. Will the city’s residential market outperform the rest of Australia? Is the hotel sector prepared for a surge in global visitors? What will office demand be in the lead-up to the Games? And perhaps most critically, is Brisbane at risk of a post Olympics bust, or is 2032 simply the catalyst for a much larger long term transformation?
This report aims to separate hype from reality and identify where genuine opportunities and risks lie in the lead up to 2032 and beyond.
