Coolangatta Suburb Profile | Property Market & Development Guide | ACRES

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).

About Coolangatta

Coolangatta sits on the Queensland-New South Wales border, offering some of the Gold Coast's most spectacular ocean views and access to the Gold Coast Airport. The suburb's famous surf breaks at Snapper Rocks, Kirra, and Coolangatta Beach attract both surfers and premium property buyers. Its southern Gold Coast position provides a more relaxed atmosphere than the Surfers Paradise strip while commanding exceptional beachfront premiums.

Development Potential

Moderate. Medium-density development is active, particularly along Marine Parade and near the airport. The suburb's established beachfront character limits high-rise development, but sites with ocean views are extremely valuable. The future light rail extension will increase development interest.

Key Zoning: Medium Density Residential, Low-Medium Density, Neighbourhood Centre

Growth Drivers

Airport proximity and expansion
Light rail extension potential
Beachfront scarcity premium
Interstate migration to southern Gold Coast
Surf culture and lifestyle demand
