Local investor snaps up Queensland childcare asset in pre-market sale

A Queensland-based high-net-worth private investor has acquired a recently opened childcare centre in a $7.685 million pre-market sale.

The sale of the centre, located at 43 Murrajong Rd, Springwood, was brokered by CBRE’s Harrison Coburn who was exclusively appointed to market the property with the price reflecting a strong yield of 5.53%.

The brand-new 116-place childcare centre is secured via a 15-year net lease to Una Early Learning with fixed 3% rental reviews. Una Early Learning has eight operational centres throughout SEQ and an additional centre opening early 2026.

Harrison Coburn noted childcare centres are still a hotly contested asset in the current market.

“The buyer was drawn to the property's exceptional build quality, attractive depreciation benefits, and substantial underlying land value, which is the result of the site's consolidation of three former residential allotments,” he said.

“We had worked with this buyer across several campaigns in the past 24-months and once they identified Springwood we were able to move swiftly and exchange prior to launching a formal EOI campaign,” Mr Coburn added.

The centre is strategically positioned adjoining Springwood Central State School with multiple additional schools within a 1.5km radius.
