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 long-term 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 pre-war Queenslander carrying heritage constraints.
ii.
The Approach
Rather than compete on price alone, MPG solved the site. A strategic subdivision created a corner site with optimal exposure and access. Vendor accommodation was negotiated as part of the transaction terms, and heritage considerations were addressed through a considered planning strategy.
iii.
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.
How the site was solved
Four moves that secured a contested site.
Securing a scarce inbound location took more than an offer — it took reshaping the site itself.
i.
Strategic Subdivision
Creating a corner site with optimal exposure and access from a constrained parcel.
Result · Corner site created
ii.
Vendor Accommodation
Negotiated as part of the transaction terms — aligning the vendor's needs with the deal.
Result · Terms agreed
iii.
Heritage Planning Strategy
Heritage considerations on the pre-war Queenslander addressed through planning, not conflict.
Result · Constraints resolved
iv.
Site Configuration
A final layout supporting safe drop-off and the operator's 108-place capacity.
Result · 108 places enabled
