Brisbane Commercial & Industrial Property Market — September 2025 Update

Brisbane’s commercial and industrial market is powering into Q3 with strong leasing figures, increased developer confidence, and record-low industrial vacancy rates across key precincts. Infrastructure-driven growth in Logan, Moreton Bay, and Ipswich continues to fuel land absorption, while inner-metro areas like Pinkenba and Rocklea see rising interest in infill opportunities. Major infrastructure projects tied to the 2032 Olympics are accelerating land demand, particularly for last-mile logistics and transport-aligned warehousing.

Logan and Ipswich Lead Metro-Wide Industrial Expansion

The south and south-western industrial corridors remain the engine room of Brisbane’s development activity. These regions are attracting both speculative builds and custom design-and-construct opportunities due to their road and freight accessibility.

• Crestmead and Park Ridge continue to see strong land take-up in logistics-focused estates like Crestmead Logistics Estate and Eco Business Park

• Berrinba is benefiting from proximity to the Logan Motorway and upgraded interchange at Wembley Road

• Yatala remains a powerhouse for larger-format manufacturing and warehouse builds, often exceeding 15,000 sqm

• Bundamba and Redbank continue to attract pre-lease demand from transport and e-commerce operators

• Willawong and Acacia Ridge are experiencing inner-urban intensification, with multi-storey warehousing proposals under consideration

Northside and Moreton Bay Region Fuel New Growth Corridors

Northern Brisbane is seeing some of its strongest industrial growth on record, driven by population migration, arterial upgrades, and increasing land constraints in the inner north.

• Narangba and Burpengary are seeing heavy interest in mid-size logistics land near the Bruce Highway

• Morayfield and Caboolture South are being explored for new industrial estates as the residential footprint expands

• Brendale continues to deliver small-lot industrial units with strong demand from trades and service providers

• Dakabin and Griffin are seeing proposals for mixed-use and light industrial precincts tied to urban expansion

• The Morlink Tradepark launch in Narangba has sparked a wave of enquiries and off-market negotiations across nearby holdings

Major Projects and Government Investment Shape Outlook

A series of high-impact announcements and ongoing developments are reinforcing Brisbane’s commercial and industrial credentials. From the Olympics to green energy hubs, these macro drivers are pushing demand into new territory.

• The Coomera Connector project is unlocking new industrial potential along the Logan–Gold Coast corridor

• Brisbane Metro infrastructure works are feeding inner-south construction demand for warehousing and trades

• A new renewable energy equipment manufacturing hub has been proposed in Tivoli, with landbanking already underway

• Multiple developers are planning last-mile logistics parks in Hemmant, Morningside, and Murarrie to serve metro freight

• The state’s 10-Year Infrastructure Pipeline outlines billions in upgrades for freight rail, highway interchanges, and industrial zoned land

Strategic Land Releases Create Opportunity for Early Movers

Several major estates have begun or progressed land releases in September, offering rare access to titled or near-titled stock in key growth corridors.

• Stage 1 lots at Morlink Tradepark (Narangba) are now being marketed with significant flexibility and freight capability

• New precincts are being scoped in Redbank Plains, Flagstone, and Greenbank to support the booming south-west

• Developers are pushing for fast-tracked approvals in Caboolture West to align with future industry zoning

• Smaller infill land offerings in Geebung, Zillmere, and Virginia are trading off-market

• Inner-urban investors are circling Rocklea and Salisbury, where older stock presents repositioning potential

Suburb Spotlight: Crestmead Becomes a Logistics Epicentre

Crestmead has solidified its role as a core logistics destination, combining land supply, road access, and large-format development capability.

• Crestmead Logistics Estate is nearing full build-out with anchor tenants secured in warehousing and light manufacturing

• The region’s links to the Logan Motorway, Mount Lindesay Highway, and Pacific Motorway allow fast regional access

• Industrial land values remain attractive for D&C builds, often $50–$80/sqm lower than inner-metro equivalents

• Speculative builds under 8,000 sqm are leasing well ahead of completion

• Council support and industrial zoning consistency make Crestmead one of SEQ’s most investor-friendly zones

Market Trends: Freight Efficiency, Pre-Leasing & Small Lot Flexibility

Across Brisbane’s metro and fringe markets, buyer and tenant preferences are shifting toward operational efficiency, long-term security, and staging flexibility.

• Mid-size logistics users (3,000–8,000 sqm) are prioritising leasehold in build-ready precincts over longer speculative waits

• Owner-occupiers are snapping up small lots (<2,000 sqm) in Brendale, Park Ridge, and Crestmead for custom builds

• New estates are offering freight optimised road layouts to reduce vehicle movements and improve B-double accessibility

• Demand for renewable-enabled industrial buildings is increasing, especially in North Brisbane and Ipswich

• Developers are planning multi-stage rollouts to meet evolving pre-lease demand and maintain build pipelines into 2026–27
