Why rent a serviced office in brisbane?

Neighbours, Home and Away and Sydney Opera House are the images people think of when they mention Australia. Step away from Sydney and back away from the beach, though, and investors and companies can find a commercial property market that is rife with potential: Brisbane.

The third most populous city in Australia, Brisbane may not be top of the rankings in the country but it has the largest economy of any city between the Australian capital and Singapore, ranking even higher than the booming property market of Jakarta. Why has the economy grown so much? The resources sector.

Tourism and industrial work play important roles in the economy. The Port of Brisbane, located on the Brisbane River, is an import and export hub, but it is the surge in financial services , administration and IT companies that has driven the economy’s expansion, with employees steadily on the up.

Workers are attracted to Brisbane by the big companies who base themselves in the city. DHL Global’s distribution arm for the Oceanic region is located there, alongside Asia Pacific’s headquarters. Donut King, Virgin Australia and Boeing Australia are all included in the city’s roster too. Indeed, as of 2008, Brisbane was ranked as a Global City alongside the world’s other major financial centres.

The retail sector is equally thriving thanks to a range of shopping centres; arcades, mall and streets, which are home to every name from Hugo Boss to Louis Vuitton.

The Central Business District and retail sector benefit greatly from their location: situated on the bend of the Brisbane River, the pretty surroundings help to make the office space in Brisbane easier on the eye. Indeed, Brisbane joins Sydney and Melbourne in Australia’s ranks of attractive places to live: ranked regularly inside the top 20 most liveable cities in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit, Brisbane is a pleasant place to reside as well as work.

Combined with the city’s economic clout as well as its positive outlook, renting office space in Brisbane may seem an unexpected option - but the most surprising thing of all is that you haven’t considered it already.
