M&A Update

The M&A (McLachlan & Ann) mixed use development is under construction on Ann Street in the Valley.  The commercial tower has topped out, and is currently being fitted out for commercial tenants, with a move-in date expected in March 2013.  The residential tower is up to level 8 out of 21 levels, and is reported to be on schedule for completion in late 2013.  From the photo below, it can be seen that the towers are in a commercial area of the Valley, so it will be interesting to see how a residential development changes the character of this area.  It also appears that the residential adjoins the commercial tower in an L-shaped configuration, which blocks some of the aspect from some of the apartments.

No Apple Store for M&A

Is Laing O'Rourke misleading people, or just careless?  Last month, to much fanfare, it released a press release to report that it has signed up a two level Apple store at its McLachlan & Ann (M&A) building in the Valley.  See Press Release and prior post.

But it is not an Apple store, but an Apple reseller.  Today's Courier Mail has an advertorial that refers to a "US-based Apple reseller."  There is a big difference between an Apple Store and an Apple reseller.  Myer, JB HiFi and Kmart are Apple resellers.  And there already is an Apple reseller just around the corner (Mac1 at James Street).

So no Apple Store for M&A, just a U.S. electronics store.  So that decreases not increases the appeal of M&A.

Where will the next Apple Store be in Brisbane?

An Apple Store was tipped for Macarthur Chambers on Queen Street, but it has not arrived.  A story in Brisbane Times suggests it has been delayed due to a contractor going bust.

Laing O'Rourke reports that it has signed up a two level Apple store at its McLachlan & Ann (M&A) building in the Valley.  See Press Release.

The Apple Press Release website had no news last time I looked, but the Apple job website says that there will be a new store in Brisbane.

I suspect it will be a positive influence to have an Apple Store nearby.

1 bedrooms were $429,000 to $465,000
2 bedrooms were $520,000 to $699,750.

This advertisement lists one bedrooms from $295,000 to $480,000.

In July last year, 1 bedrooms were from $345,000 and 2 bedrooms from $485,000.
