Commercial Real Estate Matters
SUNSHINE COAST MAKEOVER IS IN FULL SWING There has been a major shift in the commercial landscape across the Sunshine Coast with a number of key districts making significant changes to the cultural vision of the business community, impacting the demand for commercial real estate across the different industries. It’s an exciting time for vendors, buyers and lessors in being part of what will become known as a period of change for the Coast.

The inauguration of Caloundra’s new CBD Curator focused on revitalising the centre will attract the retail sector, while the industrial hub continues to take advantage of its easy proximity to the Bruce Highway. Additionally, Nambour is hot on the heels of its Coast cohorts with its draft Nambour Activation Plan to build on commercial, business and community, approved for community consultation. The Nambour tram project’s approval will only serve to contribute to rebuild this once cane-milling town with already low vacancy rates thanks to a concerted rejuvenation.
