As South East Queensland evolves, Logan has emerged as a standout case study in infrastructure-led growth. Here's how investors like George and Andrea got ahead.
South East Queensland (SEQ) is experiencing a period of unprecedented transformation. With population growth accelerating and the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games on the horizon, major infrastructure investment is reshaping the region. For property investors, this presents a powerful opportunity — particularly when they align their strategies with emerging transport links, housing demand and urban expansion.
One region that has stood out over the past few years is Logan. Located between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Logan has benefited from targeted infrastructure upgrades, housing development, and accessibility — factors that have translated into strong property performance. And while Logan’s been a shining star for growth, the blueprint it offers remains highly relevant for investors seeking the next hotspot.
One of the most significant infrastructure projects in the region is the Logan and Gold Coast (LGC) Faster Rail. With a recently unveiled concept design, this initiative will deliver faster, more frequent and more reliable train services between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Once complete, the LGC Faster Rail is expected to cut travel time by nearly 30%, while increasing passenger capacity and stimulating economic development throughout the corridor.
This kind of large-scale public infrastructure doesn’t just change how people move — it changes where they want to live. Historically, suburbs along major transit routes experience higher demand, improved amenities and — crucially for investors — long-term capital growth. The Logan region sits right in the heart of this transformation, benefiting from both current investment and future urban planning.
DPN’s research team began strategically targeting suburbs in and around Logan several years ago. Suburbs like Holmview stood out for their access to schools, shops and transport, as well as the appeal of modern housing estates to families and young professionals.
Feedback from our Property Management team confirms that Holmview continues to show strong fundamentals. With steady rental demand and a growing local profile, it has become an area that attracts quality tenants — a key factor in sustaining both yield and long-term capital growth. Its mix of lifestyle appeal and accessibility made it a strategic selection in our portfolio.
Take George and Andrea* for example, DPN clients who invested in Holmview. In 2022 they purchased a house & land package to build a dual income property for $636,902. Today, that same property is worth $930-$950,000, with a combined weekly rental income of $960.
That’s not just a story of capital growth — it’s a lesson in timing, research, and strategic thinking. By entering a high-potential market before broader demand took hold, George and Andrea secured a property with both immediate rental yield and impressive long-term appreciation. Their success illustrates the very essence of DPN’s investment approach: anticipate growth, not react to it.
That’s not just a capital growth story — it’s a lesson in timing, research and strategic thinking.
While Holmview has delivered its strongest gains, Logan’s overall market is now entering a steadier phase. That’s why our current focus is on uncovering the next wave of suburbs set to benefit from SEQ’s infrastructure rollout and urban growth. With projects like the LGC Faster Rail shaping the region’s future, opportunities continue to emerge — but as always, they reward those who act early and strategically.
At DPN, our role is to help clients navigate these shifts and invest where the data and planning align. Whether you’re looking for strong rental income, capital growth, or a balance of both, SEQ still offers outstanding potential — if you know where to look.
