Burleigh Heads, Queensland – Demand for one of the city’s most in-demand commercial zones – the Burleigh Commercial Hub – shows no signs of abating, with the acquisition of a large site for $4.4 million, weeks before auction.
This purchase highlights that despite a slight slowdown in residential sales post-budget, the continued pull of prime commercial sites on the Gold Coast in strategic nodes like the Burleigh Commercial Hub is attracting significant interest from investors and owner-occupiers alike.
According to Lacey West, Director – Commercial, James Borbidge, demand for high-quality commercial sites in the Burleigh Commercial Hub remains strong, as a buyer cohort with a strong contingent of residents in close proximity to the area chooses to invest there.
“Over the past five years since the post-COVID population boom, the Burleigh Commercial Hub has emerged as one of the key business precincts on the Gold Coast, with its proximity to the M1, airport and central location making it attractive to both tenants and investors alike,” said Mr Borbidge.
“We are seeing a buyer cohort purchasing in the area either as investors, or increasingly as business owners looking to base their operations in the area – with proximity to home a very strong factor. It perfectly meets the fast-growing demand for companies looking to base themselves in a commercial precinct that ticks both the lifestyle box for founders and owners alike; it also gives them access to amenities, transport and business infrastructure – making it an ideal location to base their operations in.”
This multimillion-dollar site, located at 37 Leda Drive is a highly functional freehold asset in one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held commercial precincts.
Offering a total of 640 sqm under roof on a 1,500 sqm low-impact industrial land parcel, the property delivers excellent functionality tailored for a wide range of logistics, manufacturing, or commercial operations.
The purchaser was a local business owner who saw the potential of the location from both a tenant and occupant perspective.
Positioned on busy Leda Drive, the asset enjoys outstanding arterial connectivity, offering immediate access to Reedy Creek Road and the M1 Motorway, while remaining close to Burleigh Beach, effectively balancing major transport routes with premium local lifestyle amenities.
With industrial land in Burleigh Heads remaining fiercely contested and vacancy rates at historic lows, available sites are being snapped up quickly.
