I thought this would be interesting for those looking into inner Brisbane.

$1 billion plan to make Buranda the next New Farm
- Thread starter Perchy
- Start date
I read that article this morning. My thoughts were that New Farm has the river, but what does Buranda have? Clogged roads, vehicle fumes and a railway line. Undoubtedly it will be popular due to proximity to the city, transport, etc. But the next New Farm ..... I don't think so.
BTW, I live south of 'the ditch' and I have a IP in an adjoining suburb, so am not talking the area down - just trying to inject a bit of realism.

Bulimba also has the river, and a lovely cafe street called Oxford
Of course you meant Buranda.Dammit. Buranda was *my* secret. Now the word is out. Bloody hell.
For the doubters I suggest you look at the layout of Vancouver, Canada. It is flat 2 - 3 storey suburbs with 30 storey apartment towers sprouting out of the ground at regular intervals along the Skytrain line at each stop. Its quite bizarre from the air.
Brisbane will look like that in 20 years time.

That TOD at Buranda has some great things going for it. Proximity to the CBD and some of the best public transport access in the city, sitting on Buranda Station (Cleveland Line) and the Buranda Busway Station (SE Busway).
New Farm it ain't... then again I don't remember PT in New Farm being that good.
The Pheonix development is just a few hundred meters up Logan Road (after you pass under the railway bridge you're in Woolloongabba). I'm not sure how much discussion this forum has had about the Woolloongabba Local Plan but that area is in for massive rejuvanation.
The stretch of Logan Road from the Buranda TOD northwards has much lower traffic loads from the later parts of Logan road due to the closing off of the entrace to Logan Road at the Wooloongabba five ways some years ago. As part of the local plan that stretch of Logan Road will be beautified and rezoned medium density resi.
I reckon it will scrub up quite nicely.

I agree that 500k for a 1 bed in Buranda is stupid but there arent many 3 bdrm house in Buranda for 500k (if any at all).
buranda
I agree with units been over priced at $500k. We are looking at some sites in the area and are looking to build 1 bedroom apartments ( 50m2). We feel that a price of $350 to $380k is more realsitic for this style. Sites are expensives however, owners are wanting to take some developers profits also. Anyway this is the game we play.

Could be that 'Buranda' isn't an official suburb name, being part of Woolloongabba.
Not sure how true that is, it's just what I've heard.
