Queensland’s extensive pipeline of infrastructure projects is poised to sustain and enhance the Brisbane office market leading up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games.
This robust pipeline is expected to drive population growth, support employment expansion, and bolster economic rents.
Economic, demographic and social drivers continue to support the demand for Brisbane Office Real Estate
By 2032:
1. Queensland is expected to reach between 6-6.4 million people
2. Brisbane is projected to account for 50-51% of Queensland’s population
The Brisbane region is expected to experience the fastest growth in working-age population, increasing by 7.7%, outpacing the 4% average expected across major cities
$185 billion of expected statewide infrastructure spend by 2032.
Brisbane city alone has an expected $25 billion infrastructure pipeline including port, rail and airport expansions.
Brisbane’s Office market continues to outperform given its unique market dynamics
The Brisbane CBD stands out as one of the few global office markets maintaining record low vacancy rates. Strong economic performance and strong leasing demand have led to a decrease in vacancy levels from 15.5% to 7.5% over the past three years. As new supply remains limited, vacancy rates are expected to remain tight, particularly in Prime and A-Grade segments in a flight-to-quality trend.
The supply outlook for Brisbane CBD remains exceptionally constrained, with only three buildings expected to be completed by the end of 2028. The region, effectively landlocked and inflated construction costs have contributed to the restricted pipeline. This scarcity is likely to increase competition for quality space, reinforcing long-term rental growth trends.
Brisbane continues to outpace the APAC region, experiencing the strongest growth in net effective rents at 23.5% over the last three years. This upward trajectory is expected to persist, driven by a combination of tightening vacancy rates, limited new supply, and optimistic population growth projections. The ongoing demand for quality office spaces, coupled with these factors, positions Brisbane as a leader in the region.
