Brisbane Olympic Precinct — The Complete Guide

Q: What does ACRES do?

ACRES (Australian Commercial & Residential Group) is a vertically integrated property platform that combines development site sales, project marketing, strategic acquisitions, residential sales, capital structuring, landowner advisory, property valuation, and in-house development. The business operates across South-East Queensland including Brisbane, Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast.

Q: What areas does ACRES cover?

ACRES operates across South-East Queensland covering Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay, and the Redlands. The business maintains suburb intelligence profiles for over 100 suburbs with detailed market data, median prices, growth trends, and planning overlays.

Q: How does ACRES sell development sites?

ACRES operates upstream of traditional agency. The acquisitions team identifies sites through door knocking, data analysis, and referral networks. Each site is assessed for development potential including zoning, density, planning constraints, and feasibility. Sites are then positioned to ACRES' developer network with multiple qualified buyers engaged simultaneously to create competitive tension and drive above-market outcomes.

Q: What is ACRES' commission structure?

ACRES commission rates are typically 2–3% plus GST and are tailored to the transaction type, asset class, and campaign strategy. Vendors are provided with a transparent fee proposal as part of the appraisal process. Contact ACRES for a tailored quote.

Q: Does ACRES offer free property valuations?

Yes. ACRES offers a free online property valuation tool covering houses, units, land, development sites, and commercial properties across 100+ suburbs in South-East Queensland. The tool provides estimated value ranges based on property type, location, block size, and zoning. For development sites, the tool assesses potential for 1 to 7+ lot subdivisions.

Q: Who are the directors of ACRES?

ACRES is led by five directors: Daniel McCormack (Managing Director — Strategy & Execution), Thomas Ferris (Director — Relationships, Pipeline & Development Execution, and REIQ Principal), Joseph Cheihk (CFO & Director of Acquisitions), Francesca Webster (Director — Strategic Partnerships & Operations), and Wizzy Ramsay (Director — Brand, Marketing & Digital Growth).

Property Value Impact

Brisbane property data 2020-2025:

Within 2-3km of Olympic precincts: site values +15-35%
Within station catchments (CRR): values +20-40%
Olympic Athletes Village suburbs (Hamilton, Albion): +25-50%
Brisbane average (control): +12-18%

Forecast 2026-2032:
- Olympic precinct sites: +10-25% further lift
- Station catchments: +15-30%
- Hamilton specifically: +15-30%

The 7-Year Build Cycle

Olympics compress demand over a defined window:

2025-2027: Foundational infrastructure (CRR, Brisbane Live, Hamilton Northshore prep)
2027-2030: Stadium and arena construction; Athletes Village build-out
2030-2032: Final construction; Olympic operations
2032-2035: Legacy transition; long-term residential absorption

Vendors timing sales should consider:
- Peak demand 2028-2031
- Cooling post-2032 unless absorption is strong
- Long-term winners: precincts with population fundamentals beyond Olympics

Vendor Implications

For Olympic-precinct landowners:

Premium pricing tier — institutional buyers active across all major precincts
Time sales to peak window — 2028-2031 optimal for most precincts
Plan for post-Olympic absorption — choose precincts with structural drivers
Engage Olympic-experienced advisors — buyer pool is specialist
Expect institutional-grade DD — 90-180 day timelines

Risks & Watch-Points

Cost overruns — could affect infrastructure delivery
Federal political risk — funding commitments at federal level
Post-Olympic absorption — Brisbane needs continued growth post-2032
Construction capacity — Olympic build may strain builder pool
Affordability tension — premium pricing in Olympic precincts vs affordability mandates

Hamilton Northshore (Athletes Village) has strongest fundamentals. Woolloongabba and Brisbane Live also strong.
