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.

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).

Infrastructure Driving New Farm's Growth

New Farm benefits from the Brisbane Powerhouse cultural precinct, New Farm Park (one of Brisbane's most popular riverside parks), and proximity to the Fortitude Valley and Teneriffe lifestyle precincts. Bus services along Brunswick Street and Merthyr Road provide transport connectivity.

For property owners in New Farm, infrastructure investment is the single most reliable indicator of future value growth. Every major transport, commercial, or community project in or near the suburb increases development potential and end-buyer demand.

How Infrastructure Affects Development Site Values

Infrastructure Type	Value Impact	Mechanism
Rail/Metro station	10-25% uplift	Higher density allowances + end-buyer premium
Bus rapid transit	5-15% uplift	Improved connectivity drives demand
Major retail/commercial	5-10% uplift	Lifestyle amenity attracts buyers
Hospital/University	8-15% uplift	Employment + student/staff housing demand
Olympic venues	10-20% uplift	Government investment + precinct renewal

Properties within walking distance of these catalysts see the greatest value increases.
