The Olympics Catalyst
The 2032 Brisbane Olympics will use the Gabba as its centrepiece stadium after a $2.7B redevelopment. Every Olympics host city in history has seen the surrounding suburb outperform the broader market by 15-40% in the 5-year lead-up. Sydney’s Homebush, London’s Stratford, and Barcelona’s Vila Olimpica are all textbook examples.
Cross River Rail
The Cross River Rail project opened Stage 1 in 2025, giving Woolloongabba its own underground station with direct connections to Brisbane Airport, Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast. The station opened with immediate rental price response — vacancy fell from 1.8% to 0.6% within 6 months of opening.
