Affordable Housing

Sunshine Coast, Queensland

Urban Advisory is proud to partner with Brisbane Housing Company on an exciting new project in Birtinya, located on the Sunshine Coast.

 

Postcode 4575, which includes Birtinya, is one of the most unaffordable suburbs on the Sunshine Coast, a key driver for this initiative.

 

This project will deliver 90 affordable apartments that are available to the community at 74.9% or less of the market rent for similar properties in the area (means tested on annual household income).

  

These apartments are much needed for frontline workers in the surrounding areas including the Sunshine Coast Health Precinct and Birtinya Town Centre.

 

Urban Advisory has provided project management services to BHC, with our Director Anthony Jones leading design management, spearheading engagement with State and Local Government officials, and strategically guiding the project through the statutory approval processes.

 

Our expertise in managing complex projects has helped fast track this project for delivery after securing a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation.

Major Development Site

Fortitude Valley, Queensland

Urban Advisory provided transaction advisory services to a landowner who was divesting a site in Fortitude Valley to an interstate investor. The sale was subject to the investor securing a development approval for a build-to-rent apartment building.

 

The advice assisted the landowner with understanding of planning and development processes and in managing the key risks of certainty and time throughout the planning process.

Future Master Planned Community

South East Queensland

Urban Advisory provided advisory services to Cedar Woods, a large ASX listed property developer on strategy and preliminary design for a new master planned community for 10,000 people.

 

This included engagement with the State Government and local council to advocate for the project which would provide about 4,000 new lots in the fast growing south-west corridor of south east Queensland.

Health & Medical Centre

Bundaberg, Queensland

Urban Advisory worked with Asset SPS and a landowner to look at ways to increase the value of a residential land holding in Bundaberg.

 

This involved undertaking a highest and best use assessment of the site which leveraged the proximity of the site to a local retail centre to recommend a preferred development outcome as a medical centre to provide specialist services to the Bundaberg community.

 

Urban Advisory then led the design process with JSTN Architects and Empire Engineering for an 800m2 NLA medical centre with 43 car parks. Urban Advisory then worked closely with Bundaberg Regional Council to secure an impact assessable development approval. Future activities include tenancy leasing and further contractor engagement.
