One of Queensland\u2019s largest property developers has said the level of investment and development in the state\u2019s biggest city will soon see it surpass Melbourne and Sydney as the best city in Australia to live.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Grow Consulting Group says Brisbane\u2019s central districts have been undergoing a facelift in recent years while renewal projects in urban areas have pushed the city\u2019s development to a new level.
\nManaging Director Ayda Shabanzadeh says the city\u2019s new shopping centres have made Brisbane competitive with Melbourne and Sydney – traditionally Australia\u2019s main cities.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cTrendy new restaurants, bars and shops with a distinctive international feel are being established in a number of urban inner-city Brisbane areas including South Brisbane, Milton, Fortitude Valley and Teneriffe,\u201d said Ms Shabanzadeh.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, as well as traditional shopping and dining hubs like Bulimba and Paddington, residents now have a much wider choice of dining, shopping and entertainment precincts, all within easy access of transport.
\n\u201cSydney and Melbourne\u2019s trendy precincts, like Chapel St and Surry Hills, are starting to look tired in comparison to Brisbane\u2019s new offerings.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ms Shabanzadeh cited the AU$1.4 billion (\u00a3965 million) worth of investment in residential property alone in the area as proof of the city\u2019s growing reputation.
\n\u201cProperty values in Brisbane are up 2% to a median of AU$432,250 [\u00a3300,000] which is not surprising given the great opportunities currently available and the increasing population.\u201d<\/p>\n
