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.

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).

Greenslopes: Development Potential

Greenslopes sits 4km south of from the Brisbane CBD. Greenslopes is anchored by two major hospitals — Greenslopes Private Hospital and the adjacent Princess Alexandra Hospital — creating one of Brisbane's most significant health precincts. This dual-hospital cluster generates permanent, recession-resistant housing demand from medical professionals, researchers, and support staff.

If you own property in Greenslopes, there's a good chance it could be worth significantly more as a development site than as a residential home.

Key Signs Your Greenslopes Property Has Development Value

Zone	Typical Height	What Can Be Built
Low-Medium Density Residential	2-3 storeys	Townhouses, duplexes
Medium Density Residential	4-6 storeys	Walk-up apartments

Developers in Greenslopes look for:

Blocks of 400m²+ in medium-to-high density zones
Wide frontage (15m+ preferred) for efficient building design
Corner blocks with dual street frontage — these command a 20-35% premium
Flat or gently sloping topography for straightforward construction

3. You're Near Key Infrastructure

Greenslopes Private Hospital is a major healthcare employer generating sustained medical workforce housing demand. The PA Hospital is adjacent, creating a dual-hospital health precinct. Logan Road provides a bus transport corridor into the CBD. Proximity to the Stones Corner commercial precinct adds lifestyle amenity.

4. Developers Have Already Approached You

If you've received unsolicited letters or approaches from developers, it confirms market interest — but never accept without independent advice. A specialist agent creates competition that drives 15-30% higher prices.

Pro tip: Properties in Greenslopes that would sell for a standard residential price regularly achieve 40-100% more when marketed as development sites to qualified developer buyers.
