Ausbuild snaps up permit-ready townhouse site

Ausbuild has snapped up a two hectare townhouse site in Brisbane’s northern growth corridor.

The developer paid $10.1 million for 34-36 Oxford Street, Joyner, following a public campaign.

“The interest was split between private developers and integrated builder-developers all vying for a foothold in one of the Moreton Bay region’s most constrained and sought after pockets,” Ray White’s Matthew Fritzsche, who brokered the deal with Mark Creevey and Tony Williams, said.

Being shovel ready was the primary driver for the competition, he added.

“The property arrived on the market with an existing Development Approval for 74 architecturally designed townhouses, featuring spacious four-bedroom, two-bathroom, and two-car configurations across three stages,” according to the executive.

The deal comes two months since we reported Ausbuild bought a 2.8ha Bridgeman Downs sit permit-ready for a 33-lot subdivision.

In October it outlaid $40m for a 13.9ha Chambers Flat site with plans for a 141-lot estate (continues below).

Joyner is about 25 kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD.

“The suburb serves as a critical pressure valve for the region’s growing population, particularly as Moreton Bay continues its trajectory as one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions,” head of Acquisitions, Dean Barwick, said.

“Ausbuild has wasted no time, lodging an operational works application to commence construction in April,” he added.

To be marketed Oxford Layne, marketing will start mid-next month.
