Alexandra Hills Development Site Pricing

Alexandra Hills development sites attract growing demand from developers targeting the Redlands and Moreton Bay's growth. Alexandra Hills is a well-established family suburb centrally positioned in the Redlands. The suburb's proximity to both Capalaba's commercial centre and Cleveland's rail and waterfront makes it a practical choice for families. Townhouse and medium-density development is increasingly common as the suburb densifies.

Zoning and Height

The single biggest price driver. Higher density zoning allows more dwellings, generating more revenue, which means developers can pay more for the land.

Location Within the Suburb

Properties on or near Finucane Road, Dawson Parade, Vienna Road, and Cleveland-Redland Bay Road command premiums due to higher density zoning, better transport access, and stronger end-buyer appeal.

Site Configuration

Wide frontage (15m+), flat topography, and corner positions increase value. Narrow, deep blocks or steeply sloping sites attract fewer buyers.

Existing Approvals

A site with a current DA typically sells for 10-20% more than an unapproved site, as the buyer avoids months of approval risk and holding costs.

How Alexandra Hills Compares

Alexandra Hills offers central Redlands positioning at moderate pricing. The family demographic creates steady demand for townhouse and apartment products.

Key insight: Properties that would sell for a standard residential price regularly achieve significant premiums when marketed correctly as development sites.
