The Park Hyatt Melbourne has been acquired by Thailand’s KS Hotels in Australia’s largest hotel transaction of 2025 and Melbourne’s biggest since 2017, following an extensive campaign managed by JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group’s Peter Harper, Nick MacFie, and Camilla Tamburini.

BERT (Building Employees Redundancy Trust) has acquired a high-quality commercial asset at 73 Amelia Street, Fortitude Valley, for $11 million in an off-market deal. A prominent Toowoomba CBD commercial asset at 1–5 Phillip Street and 2 Clopton Street has sold for $5.51 million to FKG Group, following a competitive Expressions of Interest campaign. Woolworths Maleny has sold unconditionally for $13.75 million, reflecting a sharp 5.12% yield, underscoring investor demand for secure, long-leased retail assets. Immerse Projects has acquired a 1,760sqm development site at 22–24 Sylvan Road, Toowong, for $9.531 million, marking its strategic entry into the Brisbane market. In a significant off-market transaction, private Brisbane-based developer Red & Co. has secured a prime 2,857sqm vacant development site at Varsity Lakes for $8,000,000, with plans to develop a 156-boutique residential apartment complex offering expansive views. Two adjoining retail properties at 22–24 Smiths Road, Goodna, have sold for a combined $2.132 million, achieving a sharp 3.70% yield—one of Brisbane’s strongest for 2025. On behalf of Citimark Properties, Stonebridge Property Group has sold 7-Eleven and Starbucks Kedron in Brisbane for a combined $12.9 million, achieving a blended 4.99% yield. A high-net-worth Brisbane investor has acquired The Brunswick Hotel in New Farm for $12.8 million in an off-market deal, reflecting a sharp 4.5% yield. The Woolcock Centre, a large format retail complex in Townsville, has sold for $11 million in its first change of ownership since construction over 40 years ago. The sale of a fully leased 20,407sqm Rocklea industrial business park to a private investor demonstrates the strong demand for well-positioned assets in the lead up to Queensland’s infrastructure boom. A tightly held 5.05-hectare development site in Brisbane’s rapidly expanding northern corridor has sold for $8,000,000 to Trask Land, after attracting strong interest from developers keen to secure scarce residential land.
