Anglican Church Lists Brisbane Site

Expressions of interest are being sought for land forming part of the historic St Andrew’s Anglican Church, at 673 Lutwyche Road.

The approximately 3,000sq m portion of land, zoned Community Facilities, is open to all opportunities, including joint venture, lease and partial sale.

The site is marketed by Ray White Special Projects Queensland Matthew Fritzsche and Andrew Burke.

Fritzsche said the location of the asset and the multitude of development opportunities would appeal to a variety of potential parties.

“Being zoned community facility under the Brisbane City Plan means the site is well suited to a number of uses including child care, swim school, allied health, education and community residential,” he said.

“The asset sits adjoining the Wooloowin State School, which is earmarked for future expansion, and its close proximity to a strong catchment area of schools is a real positive.

“Not only that, but it’s also close to major and neighbourhood shopping amenities, near hospitals and medical services and with its prominent location, is highly visible to around 23,000 vehicles on a daily basis.”

Burke said this was a terrific opportunity to partner with a committed land owner such as the Anglican Church.

“It’s not every day a chance like this comes along to deliver a commercially exciting project, around such an iconic building and on such a fantastic site,” he said.

“As the asset forms part of the St Andrew’s Church site and we are not seeking a straight sale outcome, future development will need to complement the ongoing use of the church and will ultimately provide beneficial commercial outcomes for both the developer and Anglican Church alike.

“The owner is seeking interest from proponents that ideally aligns with and complements the missional intent of the Anglican Church, and offers the chance for something to be created that benefits both the community, and the church.”

Expressions of interest close on Thursday, 11 April 2019 at 4pm.
