Dubbed Australia's "Sunshine City" for its over 280 days of clear skies annually, Brisbane, Australia's third-largest city, is rapidly evolving into a significant global city. With a population nearing 2.3 million, Brisbane is only behind Sydney and Melbourne in terms of vibrancy and metropolitan allure.
Being selected as the host city for the 2032 Olympics is expected to have a profound impact on Brisbane's population growth and real estate market. Historically, hosting the Olympics has led to significant improvements in infrastructure, growth in tourism, and enhanced city recognition. These factors are already catalyzing population and housing market growth in Brisbane.
Australian government and market analysts predict multiple benefits from the 2032 Olympics for Brisbane. Notable advantages include increases in property values, heightened housing demand, and a boost in real estate investments. Historical data suggests that hosting major international sporting events typically drives notable increases in housing prices and market vitality.

Recent reports by Australia's 9news highlight that this year could be the most opportune time for real estate investments in Australia over the next decade, considering population growth and the upcoming Olympics. Currently, Brisbane's median house price is around AUD 750,000, with an expected increase of up to 80% over the next eight years.
Furthermore, according to JLL's Q1 2024 UAE real estate market overview, Brisbane has already delivered about 10,000 new residential units in the first quarter, compared to 1,600 in Abu Dhabi. These figures demonstrate the strong growth momentum of Brisbane's residential market. Over the next nine months, approximately 25,000 new apartments are expected to be delivered in Brisbane, particularly in hotspots such as MBR City, Business Bay, Jumeirah Village, and Dubai Land.
For the real estate market, this continued development and high demand indicate a future full of opportunities for Brisbane. Investors and developers are keen to capitalize on the growth impetus from the upcoming Olympics, further stimulating market activity.
In terms of sustainability, Brisbane’s development projects are not only addressing immediate market demands but are also increasingly adopting sustainable and environmentally friendly construction methods and materials. This investment in eco-friendly design not only enhances the long-term value of the projects but also aligns with the environmental consciousness of modern homebuyers.
With the Olympics on the horizon, Brisbane is at a pivotal moment in its urban development. The preparation and hosting of the Games are expected to bring substantial international attention and economic activity, further boosting the real estate market’s prosperity. Both government and developers are actively planning how to maximize this global event to propel comprehensive urban development and elevate the city's international profile.
