These numbers show that East Brisbane is becoming the next in line of Brisbane areas to be adopted as the new hot spot for the young professional lifestyle. And The Wellington, a new $60 million boutique apartment tower currently under construction in East Brisbane, is in a prime position to cater to this emerging demographic. The Wellington marketing manager and TOTAL Property Group Managing Director Adrian Parsons said the apartment tower and retail precinct, which is due for completion in 2017, is set to meet the demand of this fast growing population. East Brisbane is transforming into a cosmopolitan hub, with artesian coffee houses, independent fashion boutiques, and gourmet eateries popping up around The Wellington, he said. While the young professional market in East Brisbane is driving demand for these lifestyle eateries and retailers, they also have the financial means to support and sustain them. An interesting fact is that in East Brisbane s population the most common household income is in excess of $3000 a week. The most popular occupation in East Brisbane is professionals with over 32.3% of residents working in this area and a further 13% working in management. The prominence of young professionals in East Brisbane has seen the area evolve into a thriving contemporary lifestyle location in recent years. The young professional population can really boost an area s popularity and lifestyle appeal, we ve seen it happen in areas like New Farm and West End, and now it s East Brisbane s turn.

The finished project has been designed to incorporate plenty of light and green spaces in order to complement East Brisbane s vibrant aesthetic, as such we have included a central atrium throughout the tower to provide an open environment, Mr Parsons said. Mr Parsons says The Wellington has proven appeal within the young professional market. Our spacious and competitively priced apartments have received strong interest from a range of buyers, including investors, seasoned buyers and of course the young professional population. Many young professionals are seeing the value of our contemporary design and central location and are taking advantage of the $20,000 first home buyers grant to secure their place at The Wellington. The Wellington s one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments are available in a variety of floorplans designed to offer contemporary living and are priced between $339,000 and $615,000.

11 Construction Gains Momentum For Wellington Apartment Development EPV Developments $60 million boutique apartment tower in East Brisbane, The Wellington, is gaining momentum in its construction phase with the inclusion of a major construction crane and the pouring of the basement level. The Wellington will stand nine-storeys tall and include 127 spacious one-bedroom and twobedroom apartments, complete with expansive recreational facilities and a ground floor specialty retail and dining precinct within 2.5km of the Brisbane CBD. EPV Developments appointed Queensland civil and construction contractor McNab as the builder of The Wellington. Construction preparation commenced in early April on the 3,339 square metre development on the corner of Wellington Road and Overend Street. with completion estimated for October November, 2016

12 Andrew North and Patrick Dooley project managers for The Wellington. To date, the demolition of the previous buildings occupying the site has been completed, the excavation in rock is finished and the pouring of the lower basement slab is underway, EPV Developments Project Manager Andrew North said. He said the construction of a major on-site crane is a milestone in any development s construction schedule. We expect to have construction completed around the end of 2017, which is as we had originally planned, Mr North said. Wellington Marketing Manager and TOTAL Property Group Managing Director Adrian Parsons said the Wellington has been designed to include plenty of green spaces, such as a second floor garden and barbeque area and central atrium November, 2016

13 Mr Parsons said the space will provide residents a light and open living environment that many inner-city apartment dwellers miss out on. When completed the development will fit perfectly into East Brisbane s vibrant aesthetic, with facilities like an exclusive rooftop pool area with expansive views, and a cosmopolitan retail and dining precinct that will fit right in with the growing café and restaurant culture of the area. The Wellington will join East Brisbane as it becomes the next inner city suburb to undergo a contemporary transformation, which is quickly becoming a hot spot for young professionals November, 2016

14 New Developments Offering Young Buyers Big Opportunities A terrace courtyard apartment at EPV Developments $60 million The Wellington development in East Brisbane has been purchased off-the-plan by a savvy young buyer. The brand-new one-bedroom apartment was the perfect property for first-time purchaser Jessica Ross, 26, who was attracted to The Wellington for the location and lifestyle opportunities it offers. According to the developer, The Wellington incorporates spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments and recreation facilities above a vibrant boutique dining and retail centre on the ground floor, perfectly positioned just 1.5 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD in the highly sought-after East Brisbane/Woolloongabba café and dining precinct. After several years of renting, the idea of owning her own apartment became increasingly attractive to Ms Ross, who decided to take advantage of the Queensland First Home Owners Grant and the affordable buying conditions created by the ongoing record-low interest rates June 2016

15 According to Ms Ross, she had created a detailed vision board and checklist for her ideal new apartment, including a spacious floor plan incorporating outdoor living, residential recreation facilities, well-designed communal living areas and a convenient location in an inner-city lifestyle suburb. I was surprised to discover that with interest rates being so low, there isn t much difference between mortgage repayments and rent, and getting finance was not as difficult as I thought it would be with the guidance of The Wellington s sales team, she said. I did my research and discovered that buying an apartment off-the-plan and being eligible for the Queensland First Home Owners Grant allowed me to purchase at a discounted price. Another major consideration is that buying off-the-plan gives me another 18 months or so to save further funds before I am required to settle upon the construction being completed. Ms Ross said she looked at a broad variety of developments offering off-the-plan apartments and found that The Wellington met all of her requirements. I can t wait to achieve my personal goal of getting out of the rental cycle and enjoying the security and stability of home ownership, and I plan to move into The Wellington as soon as the development is completed. A stand-out feature of the apartment I chose is the spacious open-plan living area flowing into a large courtyard, creating an outdoor living room alongside an open-air area, perfect for entertaining. I am impressed with extras like The Wellington s rooftop pool area and the garden and barbecue area located on my floor of the building, without having the responsibility of maintenance. According to Ms Ross, The Wellington also offers a retail area on the ground floor, which she believes will be a great place to grab a coffee in the morning, get groceries on the way home and go for breakfast on the weekends. I m really looking forward to immersing myself in the lifestyle offered at The Wellington and the renowned dining precinct and vintage shopping scene in the East Brisbane/Woolloongabba area. I also love the location, as The Wellington is within walking distance to the vibrant South Bank precinct, and it is a lovely walk along Kangaroo Point to the city. EPV Developments director Denis Mackenzie said construction commenced at The Wellington in early April, with an estimated completion date of October next year. Our due diligence research showed that Brisbane s inner south-east is fast becoming a lifestyle destination of choice, with The Wellington development site perfectly positioned in an area of increasingly high demand, he said June 2016

16 We aim to make the most of The Wellington s excellent location by creating a development where residents can enjoy convenient, luxurious inner-city apartment living with expansive city views and a real sense of style and sophistication about where they are living. The Wellington marketing manager and TOTAL Property Group managing director Adrian Parsons said inner-city apartment living is very popular, and new apartment developments in lifestyle-rich areas like East Brisbane that offer value for money and proximity to the Brisbane CBD are seeing strong demand from young first-time buyers wanting to set their financial goals in place. There are a lot of benefits for potential first home owners on offer at The Wellington, such as our deposit enhancer program, which may be available on select apartments to supplement the Queensland First Home Owners Grant of $20,000, as well as the long settlement time frame of buying off-the-plan, he said. The Wellington has sold more than 60 apartments since its official launch in December and we are continuing to see strong interest in the development as construction gets underway. The Wellington s one- and two-bedroom apartments are available in a variety of floor plans designed to offer contemporary living, and are priced between $349,000 and $615,000. The Wellington is positioned on the corner of Wellington Road and Overend Street in the high-demand suburb of East Brisbane, just a short walk from The Gabba stadium and the dining and shopping destinations of Logan Road and Stanley Street.

48 Hot Spots Investor Inside s Top Suburbs For Rental Yields And Growth The Australian Financial Review October 2015

49 Forget Sydney, Melbourne, Property Investors Head To Brisbane Southern investors are looking north to the Queensland property market as Sydney and Melbourne markets become too expensive to gain a foothold. While the latest BIS Shrapnel report warning Sydney and Melbourne house prices will start to fall in as interest rates start to rise, Brisbane, the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, are emerging as the more attractive destination for investors. Despite a flat jobs market in south-east Queensland as the mining boom comes off the boil, Brisbane's median house price of $475,000 is looking a lot more affordable than Sydney ($785,000) and Melbourne ($527,000). It might be a while off from repeating the hordes of Victorians who fled north during the mid-to-late 1990s, but there is definitely an uptick in interest from investors as Australians focus on the Sydney property "bubble" and when it will burst. Photo Sourced. Gold Coast real estate agent John Newlands said he had been inundated with calls from southern investors in the past few months looking to buy north of the Tweed. "In the old days they used to come up with their suitcases and buy a similar house and have a bag load of money left over," Mr Newland said. 1 July, 2015

50 "There is still a bit of that because Brisbane house prices haven't caught up [to Sydney and Melbourne] but we are starting to see more investors come back from interstate, especially in the unit market. They have been absent for a while because things have been so good in their own state. But there are definitely opportunities up here now." Higher returns Mr Newlands said clients had commented about the expensive price tags in Sydney and Melbourne and they were attracted to the higher returns and the buzz and new infrastructure around the Gold Coast ahead of the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Chinese investors have also been piling into the Gold Coast apartment market as well as funding their own developments, with over $600 million worth of Gold Coast development sites sold to Asian-backed buyers in the past year. The BIS Shrapnel report found Queensland would largely be insulated from the dip in house prices in southern states, with further interest cuts later this year expected to make Brisbane homes even affordable. Brisbane's median house prices were expected to grow by a total 13 per cent over the next three years, while apartments will rise by 6 per cent. CoreLogic RP Data released on Wednesday found Brisbane had the highest investment yields of the major metropolitan markets for both houses and apartments. Sydney's valuations are now 80 per cent above Brisbane, according to Corelogic's head of research Tim Lawless. He said the last time that happened in , Brisbane's prices took off. Growth projections REIQ chief executive Antonia Mercorella said the growth projections for Queensland homes and units was very encouraging. This is despite a sluggish employment market with the state's unemployment rate staying persistently high it was 6.7 per cent in May after the collapse of the international coal price. "Brisbane offers some excellent opportunities for owner-occupiers and investors. This is in stark contrast to other markets, such as Sydney and Melbourne, where rapid price growth is a cause for concern," Ms Mercorella said. 1 July, 2015

51 She said there was also good news for the neighbouring Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast markets with future price growth expected to reach 13 per cent and 12 per cent respectively. The Brisbane apartment market has been hot for some time, with the BIS Shrapnel report saying the Queensland capital will be the only city where apartment prices will be stronger in 2018 than they are today. More than $742.9 million worth of apartments were purchased in Brisbane during the March quarter, according to Place Advisory, which is 200 per cent above the 10-year average for the city. Brisbane real estate agent Rob Holcombe, who runs Bees Nees Reality in South Brisbane, said southern investors were chasing bigger yields and cheaper prices in Brisbane. "They are primarily investors and most are buying with a view to capital gain. They see better prospects for returns up here, not to mention it's more affordable," he said. "They come up here to buy our property, they just can't admit to supporting our football team." Source: July, 2015
