Project Overview

A rare location,
secured.

The operator needed a prime inbound main-road location near the Brisbane CBD one of the scarcest assets in childcare, in high demand and heavily contested. The site identified was Braille House: a pre-war Queenslander carrying heritage constraints.

MPG secured it through strategy, not a bidding war. A strategic subdivision created a corner site with optimal exposure and access; vendor accommodation was negotiated into the transaction terms; and the heritage considerations were addressed through planning rather than conflict.

The final configuration supports safe drop-off and a 108-place capacity – an outstanding acquisition that balanced operator, vendor and community needs while delivering longterm business value.

The Challenge

The operator required a prime inbound main-road location near the Brisbane CBD – an exceptionally scarce asset type, facing high demand and strong competition. The property identified, Braille House, was a prewar Queenslander carrying heritage constraints.

The Approach

Led with a HBU analysis – catchment demand, demographic depth, supply saturation and planning feasibility – to confirm childcare as the right use and size the centre to the market. With the case proven, MPG acquired the site, managed the centre design, and took the asset through to a leased facility.

The Outcome

A final site configuration supporting safe drop-off and 108-place capacity – an outstanding acquisition that balanced operator, vendor and community needs while delivering long-term business value.
