It’s worth a quick drive down Grey Street at the moment. With scaffolding starting to come down on two of the iner-city’s biggest construction sites you can get a first look at the mammoth extension to the Convention Centre (pictured today) and, directly across the street, the new Queensland headquarters for the ABC.
The ABC’s 400+ staff will be moving in early in the New Year so local landlords should benefit from that extra demand. We understand parking will be an issue for them so no doubt there’ll be interest in moving nearby. The extra crowds at the Convention Centre will no doubt boost demand for our local hotel rooms and there’s always positive spin-offs for the area when we have more visitors spending money.
Good times indeed for South Bank!

What’s the deal here? Premier Anna Bligh last week unveils the site plan for ABC Brisbane’s new South Bank home and everyone from Spring Hill to Yeronga jumps up and down?!
Don’t get me wrong, even a real estate agent like me can appreciate the value in protecting a reasonable level of green space, but isn’t that already happening?
And has anyone bothered to ask Grey and Little Stanley Street traders what they think? I was at My Sweetopia yesterday and noticed the street deserted. Ask any local shop owner and I’m sure they’ll be welcoming with open arms the hundreds of new customers who’ll be calling the ABC building home.
