<html><body>
Bolton Clarke has purchased an development site, currently occupied by the Coorparoo RSL, in the inner-Brisbane suburb for over $10,000,000 at 20 Harries Road in Coorparoo.

The property commands a 2,693 sqm corner site with 105m street frontage, and is opposite Coorparoo Square, the $252 million mixed-use development recently completed by heavyweights Fraser Property Australia and Honeycombes Property Group.

The property was marketed and sold exclusively by Ray White Commercial Qld Director and Head of Investment Sales Tom Barr and Ray White Special Projects Qld Executive Director Matthew Fritzsche.

The developers were primarily contemplating vertical retirement living/aged care and/or residential apartments on the site," Mr Barr said.

“With a short-term leaseback to the Coorparoo RSL, the asset is positioned to capitalise on the future growth and development within the Brisbane south-eastern corridor, in particular the recently completed $250 million* mixed-use <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/coorparoo-square-300-old-cleveland-road-coorparoo?ref=srp_listview">Coorparoo Square development</a> (opposite).”

“The site and location offered great development potential with a code accessible height up to 16 storeys with upper levels to incorporate panoramic city views. The popular suburb is only 3km* to the Brisbane CBD and within walking distance to public transport,” Mr Fritzsche said.

A development site, currently occupied by the Coorparoo RSL in the affluent Brisbane suburb hits the market.   The property at 20 Harries Road commands a 2,693sq m corner site with 105m street frontage, and is opposite Coorparoo Square.
The $252 million mixed-use development has recently completed by heavyweights Fraser Property Australia and Honeycombes Property Group.   The property is being marketed for sale by Ray White Commercial Qld Director and Head of Investment Sales Tom Barr and Ray White Special Projects Qld Executive Director Matthew Fritzsche.

"This would also give the Coorparoo RSL time to acquire another property and get their new facility ready for occupation.”

Coorparoo development site hits the market

<html><body>
Buyer demand can have a significant influence over building design – so much so that developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/karam-group">Karam Group</a> decided to embark on a complete floorplan redesign of their latest development <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/maasra-coorparoo-220-old-cleveland-road-coorparoo">Maasra Apartments</a>, to accommodate the strong demand for 3+ bedroom apartments.

The $101 million luxury mixed-use building has recently commenced construction and will be built to new plans designed by award-winning architecture firm HAL Architects. While there will be no adjustments to the façade, the interior floorplates have been reconsidered to accommodate 102 spacious apartments with flexible layouts. The <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/coorparoo-qld">Coorparoo</a> development will include a staggering 34 three-bedroom and 20 four-bedroom sky homes, as well as a floor dedicated to commercial office space.

<figcaption>Maasra apartment living room</figcaption></figure>Karam Group Managing Director, Anthony Karam explains that the company has been fielding a vast amount of inquiries from owner-occupiers wanting “more bedrooms and larger living areas”.

<blockquote>
“The new plan changes demonstrate our commitment to creating quality living spaces that accommodate a variety of households. “There was an opportunity prior to construction to combine a number of smaller units into large house-sized apartments and we felt it was the right step for Maasra, considering market demand.”
</blockquote>

<h2>LOCATION</h2>

Price Waterhouse Coopers’ City Pulse SEQ report recently found Coorparoo to be Brisbane’s second most liveable suburb. The city fringe suburb has shown thriving sales growth over the past year, with a potential real estate boom on the horizon as more developments reach completion. Located on the corner site of St Leonards and Holdsworth Streets, the apartments will be within walking distance to supermarkets, parks and only a short drive to the city.  

Maasra Apartments Marketing Manager, Adrian Parsons believes that the window of opportunity to buy in one of Brisbane's up and coming suburbs won't last long. 

<blockquote>
“Brisbane’s city-fringe areas are in high demand from home buyers and tenants, and there is a limited availability of new apartment developments in high growth areas like Coorparoo.”
</blockquote>

Adrian Parsons, Maasra Apartments Marketing Manager and TOTAL Property Group Managing Director
