Ann Lindner - Monday, August 13, 2018

On the Sunshine Coast at present we have a number of ‘mini markets’ where suburbs or even a few blocks are experiencing increased capital growth.

Birtinya was recently in the spotlight, what was once swampland is now the Jewel in the Crown.The two new hospitals recently completed in the area and associated health hub surrounding them has created boom in building, employment and capital growth.

Local agents report units have increased in value a whopping 24% in the last three months.

Median House Price $662,500, Unit $595,000 as at April 2018.

High end properties are now being sort out for doctors and specialists drawn to the lifestyle and cutting edge medical facilities.

Stockland is now midway through leasing the Birtinya Shopping Centre, featuring Coles, two mini- majors and 30 specialty shops.This is stage one of the overall 18ha Master Plan.

Nearby in the Bokarina Beach development 125 residential lots have sold and major earthworks completed on the 30ha site.A $19 million upgrade of Nicklin Way and Lake Kawana Boulevard will link the areas via two bridges and a dedicated pedestrian and cyclist path underneath.
