## Original article

Institutional investors seeking higher yields and stronger growth prospects are drawn to the state.

Queensland's commercial property investment market remained resilient through the first half of 2026, supported by population growth, major infrastructure spending and a diversified economy, according to Cushman & Wakefield.

Daniel Cullinane, National Director and Head of Investment Sales Queensland at Cushman & Wakefield, said stronger investor confidence has driven higher transaction activity across metropolitan and regional markets as capital markets stabilise.

The consultancy said investors are increasingly targeting assets with secure long-term income, particularly those leased to government agencies, national businesses and ASX-listed companies. Demand is also growing for repositioning and value-add opportunities as higher construction costs make new developments less attractive.

Regional Queensland continues to attract increasing interest from interstate and institutional investors seeking higher yields and stronger growth prospects. Looking ahead, Cushman & Wakefield expects infrastructure investment linked to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games to continue supporting rental growth, occupier demand and investment activity across the state.

### 昆士兰州投资市场吸引越来越多跨州资本

受人口增长与大型基建支出支撑，昆士兰州商业地产投资市场在2026年上半年保持韧性

寻求更高收益率与更强增长前景的机构投资者正被该州吸引。

戴德梁行（Cushman & Wakefield）指出，昆士兰州商业地产投资市场在2026年上半年保持韧性，受益于人口增长、大型基建支出以及多元化经济结构。

戴德梁行全国董事兼昆士兰州投资销售主管Daniel Cullinane表示，随着资本市场趋稳，投资者信心增强，推动都会区与区域市场交易活跃度上升。

该顾问机构称，投资者越来越多地瞄准具备稳健长期收入的资产，尤其是租给政府机构、全国性企业及澳大利亚证券交易所（ASX）上市公司的物业。由于新建成本高企令新开发项目吸引力下降，对资产重整与增值类机会的需求也在上升。

昆士兰区域市场持续吸引跨州及机构投资者，以寻求更高收益率与更强增长前景。展望未来，戴德梁行预计，与2032年布里斯班奥运会及残奥会相关的基建投资，将继续支撑全州租金增长、租户需求与投资活动。
