The evolution of higher density cities in Australia continues with the increasing demand for properties tailored to the white collar rental market.

The area extending out from Teneriffe/Newstead boundary to incorporate the lower end of Fortitude Valley currently holds court in Australia’s fastest growing office market. This vicinity is made up of 40,000 office workers within 400,000m2 of office space. The Newstead Riverpark alone will house a future 10,000 workers. Large new generation companies already occupying the area include AECOM, BOQ, Bechtel, Cardno, Energex, Laing O’Rourke and Virgin. Many of these companies’ staff occupy dwellings in the area.

A recent Census Report by Urbis, entitled ‘Australia’s Embrace of Medium and High Density Housing,’ provides statistical insight into a range of market trends that Teneriffe Realty have been following for a number of years. Residential apartment projects are often associated with a demand driven by price-conscious investors, yet the Census paper illustrated that a niche market existed for the ever-increasing number of white-collar renters and owner- occupiers seeking a higher standard of dwelling. Identifying a clear market for ‘higher income, 25-39 year old white- collar renters without many kids’, the report confirms a higher proportion of professional workers living in medium to high-density urban areas (80.3%) along with a higher rate of renters in these areas (48.7%).
