A Piece of Brisbane’s History For The Remaking
- Landmark Heritage Asset
- Prime 5,306sqm CBD Land Holding
- Income Optionality
For visionary investors seeking to shape Brisbane’s next chapter.
CBRE, on behalf of Australia Post, is pleased to exclusively present the opportunity to acquire the leasehold interest in one of Queensland’s most significant historic properties.
Offering an unparalleled location, significant scale and endless optionality the Brisbane General Post Office (GPO) provides the opportunity to transform one of the most important pieces of the Brisbane City, positioning history for the remaking.
Key investment highlights:
• A Living Piece of History: Built in the 19th century, the Brisbane GPO is a landmark steeped in history, central to the city’s cultural and civic life.
• Expansive CBD Land Holding with Flexible Zoning: 5,306sqm CBD land with frontage to Queen Street (59.5m*) and Elizabeth Street (54.9m*), favourably zoned PC1 Principal Centre (City Centre).
• Income Optionality: Potential long-term leaseback from current major tenant, and income from existing sitting occupants.
• Italianate Influenced Architecture with Heritage Prestige: Distinctive character spaces spanning two buildings with a combined NLA of over 7,500sqm.
• The Pulse Point: Unbeatable location within the ‘Golden Triangle’ and at epicentre of Brisbane CBD with significant daily foot traffic. Poised to benefit from Brisbane CBD’s major infrastructure projects including but not limited to Waterfront Brisbane, Cross River Rail & the 2032 Olympic Stadium & Venues.
• Opportunity to Develop Brisbane’s Next Hospitality Destination: The Brisbane GPO is primed to be transformed into a landmark modern heritage hospitality precinct, inspired by destinations such as The Establishment Sydney (George Patterson House), Capella Sydney (Department of Education and Department of Lands), and The Interlude at Pentridge Melbourne (Pentridge Prison).
• The QLD Government’s Call for New Hotels by 2032: The Queensland Government’s Destination 2045 plan targets 40,000 new rooms and aims to double visitor expenditure to $84 billion, ahead of the 2032 Olympic & Paralympic Games which will significantly boost tourism and accommodation needs.
• High-Performing Hotel Market: Brisbane leads the nation in hotel performance, with RevPAR up 10% YoY and the strongest post-2019 gains in ADR and RevPAR.
• Nation Leading Office Performance: Brisbane's office market demonstrates exceptional performance, leading the Asia Pacific region with a 13.8% year-on-year net effective rental growth. This robust growth, fuelled by economic strength and a shrinking vacancy rate (from 16.3% to 8.3%), is anticipated to persist, with projections indicating a further decline in prime vacancy to 6.3% by 2030.
• Market Fundamentals: Limited new supply across all sectors, rising demand, and $7.1B in infrastructure investment ahead of the 2032 Olympics are fuelling sustained growth. The market is driven by long-term fundamentals: population growth, tourism expansion, and infrastructure momentum.
A 100% leasehold ownership interest in the Brisbane GPO is available via offers to purchase closing 3:00pm (AEST) Wednesday 19 November 2025.
