Demand for hardstand reaches new level

The industrial corridor linking Brisbane’s south, Logan, and the northern Gold Coast is experiencing significant growth. A three-year shortage of hardstand listings is driving up both rents and property values in this area.

At Bromley Real Estate, our dedicated sales and leasing team is continuously expanding our database with civil construction, transport, haulage, and other operators who need additional open-air hardstand for current and future operations.

With the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics on the horizon, demand is expected to skyrocket as officials begin inviting tenders for venues and essential infrastructure.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Bromley team has successfully closed numerous deals for industrial sites with various hardstand sizes. From 500sqm to 1500sqm, and even up to 5ha sites with relatively unimproved hardstand, the demand from buyers and tenants remains unmet.

The market has shifted considerably since Covid. Many property owners who contact Bromley for market appraisals are pleasantly surprised by the increase in their property values.

Recently, John Barter from Bromley Real Estate facilitated a hardstand lease in Beenleigh, achieving a return of $45psm (gross). This was a strong outcome for the property owner.

The corridor between southern Brisbane and the northern Gold Coast is in high demand. Strategically located at the nexus of South East Queensland’s freight highways, the corridor offers unparalleled efficiencies for operators heading north, south, and west.

We have a robust database of qualified buyers actively seeking hardstand and other industrial assets in the region. If you’re considering divesting, selling, or leasing part of your site, reach out to our team at Bromley today. We can leverage our extensive network to ensure a smooth outcome for your divestment or investment needs.
