Brisbane in 2025

The evolution of Brisbane is one which has been well-documented by us. It’s significant infrastructure pipeline makes it difficult to envisage just how much the city will change in the near future. Understanding the potential impact of these projects is what we believe will be one of the primary drivers for the Brisbane property market. Not only are these projects creating thousands of employment opportunities for Brisbane locals, but they will improve the overall connectivity and lifestyle aspect of Brisbane.
