Positioned within 4km of the Brisbane Central Business District (CBD), Coorparoo represents Brisbane s established gateway to the Eastern and Bayside suburbs. Through both road and rail, Coorparoo boasts ease of access to major employment nodes, diverse lifestyle amenities, and premium locality to a number of prominent educational institutions and Brisbane health precincts. Public Transport is in close proximity, with major bus routes on Old Cleveland and Cavendish Roads and the Coorparoo Train Station just off Cavendish Road. Furthermore, proximity to Brisbane s tunnel and highway network, such as the Gateway motorway and M1, result in fast access to both the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. Coorparoo possesses a high level of essential retail, with major supermarkets and convenience shopping within an easy walk. Coorparoo is situated to further benefit from recent and proposed investment surrounding large local and Brisbane wide infrastructure projects. Most notably, the redevelopment of the iconic Myer building between Old Cleveland Road and Cavendish Road, and the construction of Brisbane s TransApex Masterplan, a road and tunnel network reducing road congestion and linking key areas of Brisbane. This significant investment is expected to drive Brisbane s economy, with well-located suburbs such as Coorparoo in a prime position to capitalise on this growth. 4 URBIS OUTLOOK

SHIFTING DEMOGRAPHIC DEMAND DEMOGRAPHIC OPPORTUNITES Demographic changes throughout Brisbane are projected to drive future dwelling demand. Low maintenance dwellings in locations with CBD proximity, connectivity and quality lifestyle appeal to Gen Y and Empty Nester demographics. RISE OF GEN Y AND EMPTY NESTERS Throughout Brisbane, the Gen Y and Empty Nester demographics will have an increasing impact on residential markets. Given that most Gen Y value mobility and are early in their careers with limited equity, they often choose to rent low maintenance dwellings. Gen Y have widely accepted apartment living, since it allows them to minimise the cost of living while enjoying the benefits of an inner city location. Despite the age gap, Empty Nesters seek similar dwelling characteristics, as they attempt to downscale their living costs while maintaining their lifestyles and networks. They seek suburbs that offer diverse and inclusive communities as well as walkability to amenity.

Limited New Apartment Supply (only 50 new apartment transactions in the twelve months to June 2014) Median House Price (June Quarter 2014) = $690,000 Median Apartment Price (June Quarter 2014) = $418,000 Opportunity for new apartment supply APARTMENT MARKET The median sale price for apartments within the Coorparoo Catchment (comprising of Coorparoo, Greenslopes, Camp Hill and Norman Park) registered $418,000 for the half year period ending June 2014, based on 193 transactions. There has traditionally been a limited supply of new apartment product in this catchment, and this is demonstrated with the median price largely reflecting more mature product. Apartments in the Coorparoo Catchment have shown a long term upward trend over the course of the sales cycle, with median sale price increases averaging 5.3 per cent per annum over the last 10 years. Furthermore, the most recent June 2014 half year has shown a median sale price increase of 9.3 per cent since June 2013. Coorparoo apartments have attracted significant owner occupier demand given their inner city location with close proximity to green spaces, major health precincts, Brisbane s largest education providers, employment nodes and retail amenity. The median house prices in the Catchment have shown strong growth, and as noted, this has also been registered within the median apartment market. A combination of a desirable house market, proximity to key amenity and transport and limited apartment product supply is expected to bode well for the growth of the apartment market within the Catchment. The Coorparoo Catchment Apartment Market represents a solid value proposition when compared to the house market in the catchment. The apartment market in the Catchment provides an accessible entry into a desirable catchment for owner occupiers and investors alike. CATCHMENT APARTMENT SALES CYCLE HOUSE MEDIAN SALE PRICE 7.2% APARTMENT MEDIAN SALE PRICE 5.8% HOUSE TO APARTMENT AFFORDABILITY 6.9% APARTMENT RENTAL MARKET Coorparoo s accessibility to significant built infrastructure, amenity (transport and retail), and both local and major employment nodes positions it as a key residential area within Brisbane s inner suburbs. Over the past ten years, median weekly rents for one, two and three bedroom apartments in the Coorparoo Catchment have grown at 7.2 per cent, 5.8 per cent and 6.9 per cent per annum respectively. This trend illustrates a growing demand for Coorparoo apartments as the south-eastern corridor expands and develops. With a focus on apartment product in the Coorparoo Catchment, the rental premium graph highlights the premium that new and near-new apartment product currently has over existing stock. New and nearnew product in this Catchment is currently generating premiums of up to 24 per cent over established Coorparoo Catchment apartments and 20 per cent over established product in the Inner South East Catchment. This premium highlights the value that potential tenants attach to new product in prime locations. The modern facilities and low maintenance lifestyle that new product possesses continues to draw tenants who are willing to pay the premium, much to the benefit of investors.
