Brisbane City Council’s plan to turn the old Milton Tennis Centre site into parkland is set to benefit surrounding properties, with The Milton the only major new development now on the horizon, says a leading property researcher.
Michael Matusik, director of Matusik Property Insights, said council’s plans to resume the 3.5 hectare site for suburban parkland would reduce the future supply of new apartments in the suburb by about 670, increasing the ‘scarcity value’ of stock in Milton.
Mr Matusik said, along with the reduction in supply, homes and apartments in Milton would benefit from a three to five per cent price premium generally afforded to properties within a one kilometre radius of major parkland.
“The single most common feature of any metropolitan area’s position as a desirable residential address is trees, and while buyers want to be in close proximity to the city, public transport and amenities, they still want access to green open space.
Mr Matusik said the significant reduction in future supply as a result of the development of the parkland at the old Milton Tennis Centre site would put increased demand on new and existing property in the suburb.
The 30-level The Milton, which is anticipated to begin construction this year, will feature 298 one and two bedroom apartments, most with views of the CBD or Brisbane River, along with a ground floor retail promenade and commercial office space."
My comment: The proposed park is some time off. It is located on the other side of the railway and the other side of Milton Road to that of FKP's development. So I don't think it will have much impact to people's decision to decide to rent or buy on a development near the Milton Railway Station, that has views of the brewery.
