The Overview
The demand for office space in Brisbane has continued to strengthen according to the Property Council of Australia’s January 2023 Office Market Report.
Over the six months to January 2023, Brisbane’s CBD Vacancy rate fell from 13.9 per cent to 12.9 per cent, as new businesses continue to enter the market and established businesses take up more space.
So what are these businesses looking for in their accomodation? We discuss all of this with today’s guest David McGuigan, General Manager, Centuria Property Services QLD.
